*** Red Dead Redemption 2 ***

It's about piracy they wont release the pc version any time ner the console release because a lot of potential customers will just download the pc copy for free.
Doesn't matter what they say they this will not come to pc within a year of console release.Even if they say it's coming pc I fully expect to hear "delayed on pc".
 
Nothing to do with piracy, especially when denuvo for the PC has stopped the most important part of the sale period for new games i.e. the first few weeks/month.

It is just down to pure greed.

Why release a game for all 3 platforms at the same time when they can get people to double or even triple dip? Just look at GTA 5 :o And don't get me started on the in game micro transactions.... They made the online side of things extremely expensive and also make it a long/boring/hard grind to get the money to be able to buy one of the new fancy DLC cars but don't worry..... if you want to get an adequate amount of money, you can buy a shark card for only £30+....

GTA 5 has generated $1-2 billion and it is said that they got an additional $500 million profit just from the shark cards, their "strategy" worked extremely well.

As for the exclusive titles like LOU, uncharted, horizon, that will be down to Sony paying the publisher/developers a nice fat sum for PS4 only, as said above, it sucks big time all this exclusivity bull **** but at the end of the day, it is what sells a lot more consoles and is one of the reasons why the PS 4 is a lot more popular than the xbox one. PC sales compared to the console market (especially the PC) are extremely tiny.

Pretty much how I see it. However just to clarify LOU, uncharted, horizon, god of war etc are made by first party developers (I.e owned by Sony themselves) so they're well within their right to keep them on their platform. Exclusivity with third party developers is rubbish though!
 
Exclusivity doesn't benefit gamers or gaming. I won't buy twice, just like I didn't with GTAV. If it comes out on PC I'll buy it, if it doesn't I won't. Will I feel like I miss out? Maybe, but I'm tired of BS like this and refuse to support that this business practice is acceptable. There's plenty of other games that I've still yet to even download in Steam, I'm in no rush to play this even though I loved the first one. If it never comes out on PC, then oh well.

Basically I'm the same as this.
If it isn't out on PC then it doesn't even get a second thought because well........ mouse and keyboard.

Ah didn't know that! that's understandable for those games then.

Hopefully sony will improve their streaming service for the PC in the future. Saying that, I have seen a few videos the other day where some have got the last of us running on the PC:


No idea how legit it is though as the site looks dodgy as ****....

If only the majority of gamers had our sense! Sad thing is, most people who own both a ps4/xbox and pc will probably double dip and continue to support such practices.

Just got an email about RDR2; release on xbox one and PS4 spring 2018... No mention of PC at all in that media release.

Why give people the heads up by giving them the opportunity to wait until the PC release whenever they can "force" people to buy the console version first ;)

I would be very surprised if RDR 2 doesn't come to PC, it just doesn't make any financial sense considering how profitable GTA 5 on PC has been, not to mention the player base.
 
They can get stuffed tbh. After they ignored GTAV for online crap, it is clear where the development priorities in RDR2 will go. It'll be interesting to see how their engine has matured since then though.
 
The first was probably my favourite game of the last gen so this has a lot to live up to. I'm hoping the rumours of the focus around multiplayer and king of the hill modes don't take over the single player story that made the first one so great. I cannot see this comping to PC any time soon so probably the first time I'll use the PS4 in a couple of years.
 
Surely it's got nothing to do with Piracy whatever they say. If it did then how do games like Witcher3, FarCry5 etc etc justify a PC release.

I reckon it's got more to do with back-handers from console makers in order to sell consoles. Some people will buy a console/upgrade to play certain games.
