Well, perhaps they thought that PC gamers are easily pissed off to risk selling the same game for full price twice, while console gamers will happily shell out 60 bucks without bothering to ask any complicated questions.

I chuckled. 

I heard they're going to lock frame rate for consoles, pretty much like Dishonored Definitive Edition did, although you can get this game for free if you bought pre-ordered Dishonored 2.

And you're RIGHT, Resident Evil 4/5/6 remastered complete is a lot cheaper than Skyrim Special Edition, 3 Resident Evil remastered games together are 60 bucks total, heck they're all running 1080p60fps & upgraded textures.

EDIT

Was the Resi 5 remaster really launched at only $20?

The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions don't look as good as the PC version on good settings to start with, and then there's mods. With mods, the PC version looks a lot better than even the remastered version. There's no way PC players would eagerly pay for the remastered version, so even trying to make it cost something would be futile and generate tons of badwill. It simply doesn't make any sense for Bethesda to have PC players pay for it. Console gamers, on the other hand, have proven that they don't mind buying remastered versions of games they already own, so from Bethesda's point of view, this all makes a lot of sense. Sorry, but it seems you're in the minority among console gamers here when you're complaining about this.

tl;dr: It's not enough of an upgrade for PC gamers so it wouldn't sell well, but console gamers are willing to pay for remasters even if they're not huge upgrades.

The price is pretty horrible though, but what can you do. A lot of remasters seem to be priced in a pretty hostile manner, yet people buy them anyway. This is a part of the choice you make when you decide you want to play games on consoles. You save on the initial cost (i.e. cost of the hardware) but end up paying more, or in cases like this even a lot more, for software (i.e. games). It's unfortunate, but you can't get both.

One also has to consider licensing and retail fees. PC gamers are getting a patch, while console gamers are getting games on platforms where they did not exist before which Sony and Microsoft will charge licensing fees and retailers will charge retail fees.

RE5 sucks, meanwhile Skyrim is goddamn amazing. So there you go. I mean, I could buy 4 or 5 cheeseburgers from McDonalds for the price of one Five Guys burger. Doesn't mean I wanna.

Also, if a PC owner has the game and all DLC, theres not much reason for them to buy the game. Kudos to Bethesda forngiving it away free.

What i poorly tried to say was that this verison offers nothing to pc users.  Everything in it can be or has been done with mods

Heheheh

Skyrim played like crap on consoles. It's the elder scrolls that's the least deserving of a remaster but of course, bethesda fans will buy it "again". *shrugs
