It's not happening. Knowing Rockstar, you shouldn't expect it because the first never came on PC or because they rather release it 1 to 2 years later.
Two years after the console release, one year after PS4Pro/Scorpio (paid, obviously) patch.
So that they can profit of PC whales.

"Red Dead Redemption 2 will release worldwide in Fall 2017 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One systems."

Damn. Dreams shattered.
30fps 720p in 2017, here we go!
I think I got it only once, when I carried 2000 passengers, in a daily challenge no less, but it wasn't in Tokyo
Oh, I totally got my money worth already, no doubt about it, the 13 hours I spent in Mini Metro was some of the most fun I had this year. But the achievements add some nice little challenge to the mix, and the new update should help to make some of them more doable, as some maps can be reeeeeally tricky.

Not buying it at all. I'm not supporting Double dipping strategy, I'll have better games to play when/if it's out on PC.

I still haven't properly played Red Dead Redemption, borrowed it off a friend and played about 5 hours. I had a 360 and PS3 but I kept waiting for PC version. I have a PS4 but I'll wait for a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2.
It's not even hard to miss it, unless there is some kind of massive decrease in the output of PC games next year. This year has been so mad for great games that most are deferred to next year for me. Ain't got no time fam.
Also, fairly confident I'll get it gifted to me again as with GTA V. Wouldn't pay full price for something that I can probably get at the end of the consoles life for nothing anyway. Almost played GTA V on PS3 due to that, but got gifted the PC version so didn't bother

I know I shouldn't support it, but... but it's the sequel to one my favorite games of all time

So apparently there's no announced version of RDR2 for PC because it didn't sell so good on PC, according to this guy. Rockstar must have made one copy and sold it to him.
Rockstar still is the only company knowingly trying to keep its PC fans in the dark and it still doesn't make a lick of sense, unless you humor the 'double-dipping' theory that has no data whatsoever.
It's in Rockstar's best interest to allow PC players to buy the game ASAP and thus give them the bigger cut. Announce it's coming but later (though them not being able to release a game for 3 platforms on the same time unlike every other dev in the business is another subject). This stupid song & dance where they get asked about it and give a vague non-answer only to 'shockingly' getting announced later must end. It doesn't respect the fans and players.

GTA V sold more than 5 million copies on PC, RDR2 is coming at some point. They just want you to buy on console first.

Has Rockstar ever announced any game for to release PC along with consoles day one?
Max Payne 3 is probably closest with only few weeks between PC and consoles.
0 sold copies on PC, is pretty bad tho

What about RDR port though.
Rockstar knows people will double-dip and many on PC will buy an inevitable late PC port either way, so it makes financial sense for them.
RIP Everything
But, I still say fuck Rockstar.

The double-dip strategy was always bullshit. All it means is that day and date release would've generated a lot more sales. Big IP just survives the waiting time better than others.

At this point I'd probably not buy the sequel on PC unless they port the original game first anyway.
I'd say the double dip strategy is bullshit for MOST games. But Rockstar already seemed to be the exception to the rule with GTA V.

Nah, if anything, it just means GTA V would've sold a lot more. As I said, GTA V isn't setting a rule or an exception. It's just showing that big IP with amazing reception suffers less from the drop of sales.
pretty done
