Remember how long it took to get gta 5 into the hands of the master race? I have a feeling it's going to take a similar amount of time to get our hands on this title.

Which is sad because GTA Liberty City and the earlier GTAs were available for PC first or much sooner.

GTA was a PC game before anything else, but then Rockstar realized that it was harder to pirate console games and started releasing their games on consoles first. And hence why we needed to wait years before GTA:V came to PC. Basically, they waited for the console sales to pretty much drop off to next to nothing before they finally released GTA:V for PC just to get some extra money.

I expect, if they do decide to release RDR2, that they'll do the same and wait for console sales to bottom out before releasing it on PC.

And with PC, it would have been sold millions more. Like, common, let's be realistic.

PC single player games are dead

You obviously have a frail grasp on reality.

Now, take your blinders off and look at all the phenomenally high sales single player games that are still being made and obviously played. If it’s all one plays, then one sees them everywhere, and buys them by the dozens as I do.

I bought a PS4 just for Red Dead Redemption 2. I bought one of those spider man bundles around Christmas for $199. I just started playing red dead 2, 2 weeks ago.
