Re: Why can't NHL22 be on pc?

Back in the day when Kickstarter was huge they could have put something for like $60 to get the game put on PC like 2 years later.  I think whatever the goal that would be needed would have been met and they could have hired on more people for that task.  With how developers talk about how similar consoles and PCs are these days it shouldn't be that hard.  Yes more configurations are on PC but it's not like they do much work on NHL series throughout the year anyway besides their precious cash cow.

Company makes billions upon billions each year but them greedy shareholders don't want to better the game environment if it means they have to get slightly less.  If MS didn't buy Act/Blizz then EA would have been a good buy and we'd probably have NHL on PC.

    So just today Madden 23 was announced for PS4™, PS5™, Xbox One, Xbox X|S and PC.   The old gen systems and PC system will NOT be getting the next-gen features.  This is what would happen with the PC edition of NHL.   You'd get 1 year of it being up to date with stuff and after that it would just be the same exact game but with a new number slapped on it.  So while the idea of PC sounds amazing it wouldn't be executed by the lack of effort/funding on the other side.
