I mean, if they "really fighting" for it, sounds like it's quite the hard task.

Why not focus to get PC day 1 instead? The first month on PC is likely to sell more than it'll do in it's lifetime on a NS2 version, the audience is not there.

(i) “Really fighting” are my words, not his. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen—heck, Microsoft’s having a hard time getting Starfield working on NS2—but that there does appear to potentially be interest at Rockstar.

(ii) Why not PC? TBH I think it’s because Rockstar wants the least amount of controversy possible with this launch. There has never been such a thing as releasing a game which demands strong PC specs and receiving acclaim at launch— most PC gamers don’t have the hardware to support many modern games running at 1440p 60fps as much as they like to deny this reality. That’s the reason so many great games like MHWilds, Dragon’s Dogma 2, first-party Sony, etc., have been torn to shreds by the Steam community at launch: They simply don’t have the hardware to match the software, and so, they blame the devs.

Afaik the thing about Sony games on PC was some bad ports and Sony asking a, soon to be extinct, PSN account in countries that did not have local support for it (even as its so easy to create an account anymore you want), not very high specs needed.

Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War were fairly well received if I recall it right.
