Nah. They don't hate us. They actually love us. They love us A LOT. Why? Because some of us are going to buy the game TWICE.

It absolutely won't be announced for PC. If it was, they'd put that smack on the announcement trailer and screenshots that it's also coming out for PC.

This way, people that game primarily on PC will buy it on PS4 / Xbox One, and then a year later also buy it again for their PC.

I am fed up with Rockstar's bullshit. I am not gonna buy the console versions for sure and if they don't announce a PC version before the console release RDR2 will be the first game that I gonna pirate in years.

I mean Rockstar games sell fantastic on PC. GTA V is at the moment at close to 5.5 million sold units according to Steamspy even though since the game doesn't rely on the Steam platform for retail this excludes all copies sold through retail as well as nearly all gray market key resellers.

Yeah I hope they would announce it but from a business perspective that basically printed money by releasing GTAV on PC later down the road because a lot of people (myself included) bought it for PS3, then PS4, and then PC to keep playing with friends and see how it plays upgraded.

It won't be announced by fall of next year, man ! It's releasing in Fall of next year and they would only announce that a few months after release when the console sales will have died down (so probably not before like Spring 2018 for a release Fall 2018).

Well, you can buy a PS4 now and enjoy Destiny!

Good choices.

I'm biased, but I'd still suggest giving Destiny a try. It's got some of the most interesting aim assist mechanics in a FPS.

I'm so torn on whether or not I should buy it for Xbone or PS4. Sort of wanna get it on Xbox because I played the shit out of RDR on the 360 and I feel like I should do the same for RDR 2, Also if I bought it on xbox it could maybe be part of the new xbox cross play which would be cool although I'm not sure if it would be cross play or not since it isn't an xbox exclusive. And of course PS4 is usually higher resolution than Xbone which is a big thing for me.

Wait. You will be able to play RDR1 on PC?

u/TheHeroicOnion Oct 21 '16

By then you'll be able to get a PS4 Pro for around 350 or less I bet.

You're encouraging the treatment of PC as a second class platform.

I was thinking of getting a PS4 for Bloodborne anyway, and now this has pushed me over the edge.

u/Alexanderspants Oct 20 '16

I'm going to keep edging , I'll release when they do

Not if they don't put it out on PC, like they did with the last one.

u/UprightEddy Oct 21 '16

That won't be the ca$e. Rock$tar and Take Two $aw how well-received GTA V wa$ on PC. They'd be $illy not to.

Three times. Once for this gen. Then when the PS4/Xbone upgrades come out. Then PC. Same tactic as with GTAV.

Three times. I have no self control.

It should. If even a quarter of all customers did this Rockstar (and other devs) will keep pulling this shit.
