This looks so much like NHL 94 down to the blue ice and star shaped player indicator that I'm surprised EA hasn't threatened them yet.

It's hard for people to threaten your business in a market that you're not providing to. The most recent hockey game I can think of is Hockey? and that wasn't exactly the most serious hockey game when it released. It's like if someone made a Maddenlike on PC. EA hasn't released a madden game on PC since '08, why would they bother?
This reminds me of the time I played NHL 99 with A JOYSTICK back in the day.
Funny, I bought NHL 09 for the sole purpose of playing a hockey game on pc. Of course, after purchasing it, I find out that NHL 04 is the better version. Still, I'm having fun with it, but as long as this has proper kb/m support, it will take my money. Only downside I can see to this is no mod support, I wana play as my team and not just this bush hockey league roster.

It's my go-to hockey game at the moment.
[QUOTE=laserpanda;51519765]It's being released on PS4 and Xbone as well.[/QUOTE] Oh. I didn't see any information about them in the article and assumed it was exclusive. Yeah, they might have an issue at some point then
