Re: nhl 23 on pc
And how about PC gamers? How can we get to be apart of the community and add more players to the playerbase cross playing?

I get this was a joke but if the PC community can band together and get a single list of 'NHL on PC" signatures and migrate over to AHQ for discussion you might stand a chance.
You mean like it happens every year? Shouldn't be hard to search these forums for "NHL PC" and find that this is asked for every single year.

Or there is the fact that EA as a whole claims to want to be PC friendly... "We want you to have the best possible PC gaming experience, with faster downloads and updates, simpler access to your games, and the ability to connect with your friends across platforms."

Then you have the NHL's mission of "Hockey for everyone" which apparently stops at EA when bonus checks are on the table.

Then you have good William Ho who claimed that "if there is enough demand then we will certainly cater to that" ... exactly how much and what kind of demand is needed? asking year after year after year hasn't gotten us anywhere since a 2008 release.

Bottom line, EA makes 7 BILLION a year... if you CARED about the gamers, and treated us as gamers, we would have NHL on PC already. However... EA only see's us as consumers & numbers. Doing something just because it's the right thing to do isn't in their mission statement. If it isn't pure profit then it isn't worth their time.
I moved your responses from the playtest thread for NHL to this one regarding a PC version. They are better suited for this thread.
"Brushed this under the rug"
Fixed that for you.
Switching this over to a dedicated PC thread only helps mate, it isn't brushing this under the rug.
The newer links should redirect to the '21 thread I believe - the best back and forth should be seen there. Like I said, the petitions you make do nothing because there are like dozens of low amounts each -- you need to make one massive petition to get their attention (I'm just gonna throw out an arbitrary 45k signatures to even be considered).
EA is a business and taking time away from their current iteration to make a PC port has been deemed unviable by whatever number cruncher is in charge; offline console players and human goalies in leagues barely get anything as it is.
You need higher numbers both in your petitions and here in the official AHQ forum to get your point across and you don't make 7 billion a year by taking risks.
Splitting hairs but I'm sure you know the whole inclusivity push is about race/gender.

Bro, they're trying to explain it to you but you just don't seem to want to accept the answer.
