    It’s super scummy, what they’re doing with PC.

    The plan is to launch games on PC then lock sequels to console to try and force more hardware sales.

      Everything points towards them beginning to plan for simultaneous releases, going forward.

      And so far, sequels have come to PC, eventually.

      Maybe they hoped some would grab consoles during the wait, but I’m willing to bet it wasn’t anywhere near an amount they would need for it to be worth it. PC players are VERY patient when it comes to waiting for a version that can turn up the graphics, resolution, and frame rate.

      I feel like you don’t understand how running a business works or being a major platform creator works…

      Now the question will be: How long until emulation of these console-locked games is viable?
