    It will hurt them a bit. Videos show a PC copy running just fine. Many gamers won’t buy on console first to play early and then again on PC. This is a good thing.

      In the past, cross porting a game took time and effort. With today’s toolchains? Cross compiling is built-in to the SDK. The delay of a PC release is a clear cash grab

        I somewhat agree, but GTA V took over a year and a half to come to PC. I think they were still milking it.

        As you said, not an issue today. Architectures are close enough today with plenty of tools to create multiple builds fairly quickly.
