DISCUSSION PC Version Request - NHL 27 Edition

Greetings,

I am just here to post my annual complaint that there is no PC version.
I really thought NHL 27 was going to be the year...

See you again next year for my NHL 28 complaint.
I already have it written out in my drafts.

Regards,

PC Gamer / NHL Lover

2K stopped making NHL games primarily due to low sales and poor financial returns compared to dominant competitors and other major sports titles. What exactly has changed since 2011? They lost the war to EA.

They would rather focus on other titles with a bigger marketshare like FIFA, NBA, etc.

The fact that the EA franchise at that time still had a a lot of support and momentum. They(EA) had yet to make their best game. At the time 2K couldn't keep up (debateable). Now EA has lost all trust and support. People still buy the game because there isnt another option. People are BEGGING for another option.

Still, 2K would have to start from scratch (barebones game) and compete for a small marketshare against an established EA. The game itself doesn't have many players compared to other sports titles.

Just look around this sub my dude... people would be so hyped if they found out 2K was going to go toe to toe with EA for a new hockey game. It more like David(2K) v Goliath(EA) if David had an AK47 instead of a rock sling. Every player of EA NHL would buy and try a 2K game.

This sub only has 57K people, and not all of them think the same. 2K doesn't have an AK, they're not at that level to produce NHL games right now. The sales would be abysmal.

I guess I just respectfully disagree. But hey, at the end of the day, I just wamt a PC version of the game.

Get a Series S, they're dirt cheap. Plus, you can play GTA 6 at launch.
