WB Games Admits Defeat On ‘Batman: Arkham Knight,’ Offers Refunds Again

Of course, developers could also choose to develop for PC and then optimize down for consoles instead of the other way around, which tends to limit PC version capabilities even if the game ultimately "works".

If developers built games from the PC, then to the consoles, I'm pretty sure the PC market would pick up steam because we'd get better graphics, but also better performance. For now, we get console ports that take 4-5x the cpu/gpu power that we should need to run a game at max.

Anyway, I was extremely amped for Arkham Knight PC when the insane looking trailers were swirling around, but I'll wait until it's in the bargin bin on Steam now.

Golden rules for PC gamers:

Lesson 1: Don't buy a game on release day without having played a very smooth beta or demo
Lesson 2: Don't reward bad behavior. In other words, don't buy this trash.

People should be getting free DLC's for this non sense. We're talking wasted time/money here.

Unless the person is directly affected monetarily by this then why should they get anything for free other than a working product or their money back?

Most streamers who make money probably would have just moved to another game and gotten a refund so no loss there.

The majority of people are using their free time, not their time working I would hope, to play the game so there would otherwise be no monetary gain from playing or not playing it.

Either way they have already given out free stuff for the PC gamers and are offering a full refund (DLC included) for everyone, even those who bought a physical copy. That is far beyond what most game devs have done. Hell Watch Dogs had a lot of the same issues and in the end all people got was a working product.

From the entire saga with this game I learned my lesson. And even if I like the other Batman games, I will ultimately insult this one - not only I will not buy it, I won't even pirate it.
