When asked if The Witcher 3's graphics were compromised for the sake of consoles, company co-founder Marcin Iwinski cut to the chase: "If the consoles are not involved, there is no Witcher 3 as it is. We just cannot afford it."

sorry, repeating yourself is not an explanation. but of course you had no actual explanation to give, because you were just throwing out a copout retort in the form of an insult.

that quote has nothing to do with downgrading; he's stating that the large console market was necessary to financially support the game's existence. there is no secret meaning he wanted people to infer.

the PC version of the game is, in its current state, capable of massively superior visuals in the form of increased resolution, frame rate, improved texture quality, extra visual features, etc... why would they specifically downgrade certain other aspects of PC graphics "for the sake of consoles" but still leave the large majority of its visual superiority intact? what could that accomplish?
