I am guessing they’ll wait until after new consoles are released. Let people buy ps5/xXxboxXxSeriesNexXxt remastered. Then let people buy the pc version. Get 3 copies sold to each of most hardcore gamers.
Wonder how much effort they will put into preventing mods this time. I know they bought 5M so it seem they will want to shut all the unauthorized mod communities down.
Nah, that's too far. You're talking like 2028 there for the next gen consoles. PC probably gonna come 6-12 months later, like almost always.
I wonder how much that will be true this time around. This is the first console Gen where I have no plans to get a console, so they can't even entice me to double dip due to lack of a console. And if I haven't got a console by 2024 I won't be getting one just for one game. Exclusives don't have the same draw anymore, since they've started getting ported.
Only console I've held onto was the Wii. Unless a Wii release is coming, I'm doomed to wait for a PC release.
One silver lining I see in delayed release is that I have less of an incentive to upgrade my GPU until then, and new GPU might be out that should hopefully handle it maxed out when I do get into it.
Next gen consoles are years out. You're looking at 2029 at the earliest for the next generation of consoles.
