Re: No version of NHL to PC?

While we'd love to see NHL on PC again, but there just isn't a large enough audience for it. You also have to consider the niche aspect of hockey itself. This is a sport that is popular in a handful of locations globally whereas something like soccer is popular everywhere. 

Yes, you may have friends who play on PC and know some others that would play it as well, but in the end, the console players vastly outweigh the PC players. A lot of work would go into a PC version, which would also take away from development of the console version. So, sacrificing new features, bug fixes, tuning, updating, etc, for the console version to build a PC port that would be played by a fraction of the player base, doesn't really make a lot of sense. Hopefully, this will change someday. We'd love to see NHL reach a larger audience, but have to consider satisfying the current audience as well.
