I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Would be nice to see a dev push the PC to the limits, then porting to console by downgrading some graphix here and there.

Way better than the opposite imo, which was what happened with TW3 and ended up resulting in a huge downgrade for everyone.

It’s really not about neither games sold or ”peak players on Steam”, it’s all about lifetime revenue.

Right now on Steam I can get baldurs gate 3 for 48 euros while at PS store it costs me almost 60 euros.
€48 vs €56. Steam cut is 20% vs 30% on PSN. Larian gets about the same either way.

Problem is the majority of PC gamers don't have hardware that's better than the PS5. Series S might be a problem, yes.

I'd love to see them do a game where the bare min is like Zen 4/4080 and look like it but I don't think CDPR could get away with that.

The same for Phantom Liberty DLC, absolutely majority was PC sales:

After that horrible cyberpunk launch on consoles. I don't blame them if they wanna release it first on PC only.
There really wasn't any issues on PC for me. Just a heavy game that needed around a 3080.

But they lose the right to sell it for fullprice if they release a year or two late, am I doing this right? It should be half the price tops if they are doing late ports.

I bet they cut the basket VPN regional pricing trick right when TW4 pre orders are available
