NHL series for PC - why did EA Sports stop it?

Have EA Sports ever told the community why they stopped releasing it for Windows PCs? NHL 09 was the last version available for PCs, right?

Yes. NHL 09 is the last one.

Maybe they thought that (pirated) PC scene would take sales away from the console versions.

06-09 is pretty much the same game. Not very good one at that. NHL08 for the consoles was a decent hockey game. Some say it was the best console version, while the PC version 08 was just pure junk.

EA doesn't do any PC sports games other then FIFA. Not even Madden.

Reasons why NHL09 was EA's last NHL game. Piracy, low sales despite games not being "Next Gen" so they have as many buyers as possible and how hard it was to make sure that the game works on as there are so many different configurations as possible. With consoles, there are only a small few of different configurations types for each console.
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
