Community ManagerI don't believe I said it's an issue with a lack of American fans. I'm talking about the overall fanbase. FIFA gets a PC version because the sport has the community to support it. This really shouldn't be a surprise with just how big that sport is. It can be played anywhere and requires minimal equipment. Hockey, even when ice isn't involved, tends to be a sport that you can't just pick up and play without having specialized equipment.
We would truly love to have a PC version. It just runs the very high potential to be a lot of work with not a lot of return as well as stalling progress on the much more popular, console version of the game.
Let's not forget that some of the PC versions aren't even up to date with the next-gen console versions. When FIFA can't even get the updates it should have there is no hope for NHL. Thing is with NHL they just need to make a really great PC game with mod options for updating players and such and then they wouldn't need to make another for another 4-5 years.
"FIFA 22’s PC version will not feature next-gen improvements seen on PS5 and Xbox Series X, including its new animation tech. The PC edition of FIFA 22 will instead be comparable to the last-gen version, to the dismay of its small but vocal core of fans."
If Madden can arrive on PC the eyar after Frostbite, then NHL can, as well.
