Nah , RdR2 will be coming to PC latter on but PC gamer will be waiting longer for that, but it will be worth it. Probably another 3 or 2 years or even 4 years if Activision want to perfected PC port as good as possible.

Activision don't own RDR and aren't the ones working on it.

Also 4 years?.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Selling 5.5+ millions copy on a platform with a late port and claiming it barely made any money is just bollocks.

They'll take what they can get in terms of ammo. This thread is already doing a good job of brining out those from the woodwork.

do you really read my comment carefully i said probably, and i also mentioned 3 or 2 years also, even if it's 4 or worse 5 years it doesnt really matter for PC player anyway isn't . We can still play GTA 5 with a lot of modding.

It sold 60M copies on console. It actually sold a got 20M close to launch at 60 bucks. Even considering only game sales, it still dwarfs the PC version by 10:1, not that different from the aditional content plot.

Are you claiming the PC version made barely any money then?

Well, I said it probably made 10-20 times less money than on consoles. As this game probably made around US$ 3B in revenue, this still is a solid 150M to 300M. That's why I think RDR2 will come to PC, Rockstar games sell well enough to justify a simple port.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Still a little percentage of what they earn with consoles is a great ammount of money

PC gamers pirate a lot and the fact is Console Gaming is more main stream.

I think that this is the money made after the purchase of the game (with the extra content). GTA V sold 5+ millions on the PC in 2015, it isn't much compared to the console market, but it is a lot when you compare to other Pc Triple A games.

Is that really fair to compare ? The total DLC revenue of 5 millions people against 55 millions (maybe 40-45, because of the remaster). PC has  a lot of Mods and this can make people purchase less DLCs there.

PC is one platform. Consoles are PS3, PS4, 360, X1. 4 VS 1. PC can only sell once. Then patches are done to improve it. A console has to re-release the whole game. And on a certain company. So people had to buy things 2x, or more.

It's always puzzled me why consoles are "one platform".  That makes no sense.  Developers/Publishers have to pay for development on each console.  They have to pay for certification on each console.  They have to pay for patches on each console.

Each console is a platform unless you're talking about mid-gen upgrades.
