Comment on Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare coming to PC October 29
boonhet@lemm.ee 3 weeks agoNo idea what their real reason was, but the specific R* studio that made it hadn’t ported a single game to PC in years at that point. Midnight Club II of 2003 was the last one and none of their subsequent releases got PC ports. Which sucks because I really sorta wanted to play Midnight Club LA back then.
Past RDR, they haven’t done any games as a solo studio.
Could just be that someone at R* San Diego REALLY hated PC gaming?

I would wager someone with an MBA got their knickers in a twist about “PC being the most pirated platform,” did that thing like in cartoons where the dollar signs in their eyes turn into cents signs instead, and decided to just 86 the whole thing because they were deathly afraid that a couple hundred people who never in a million years would have paid for it in the first place would download it off of Kazaa or whatever was popular back then instead of giving Rockstar any money.
Just a guess.
