I was doubting this until I read the replies 'cause that parent Tweet made it sound like they didn't witness it themselves at all. I'm glad someone actually archived this kind of thing for once and that now we have just as solid of a slip-up about a PC version (I've seen barely any questions about that despite all the Switch demand and hints), though too bad it'll probably be quite a wait if the announcement is this late- I was thinking of jumping on the PS4 version so I could play it at launch, because there's ****ing nothing coming out for the rest of the year with Indivisible being delayed, but I'll keep waiting in this case.
Even if I wanted to support the game (and yeah I don't feel the urge to do that, this game would still sell more than enough if every user on this site boycotted it lmao), I'm not spending twice as much (especially since the game is full-price here) nor supporting the nudge to double-dip by other versions being released later, if that's what's gonna happen. I get why it happened with Crash tho and I can get why the Switch version would have a wait given the technical issues a few ports have had with it, but PC? Oh well. I mean, it's not like all PC ports are free of technical issues either, I just mean it seems easier to get a game running on PC than Switch in the first place and go from there but I digress. I guess I should expect delayed PC ports more often because I know it's not actually that unusual and it doesn't bother me as much as it sounds, but it is a bit disappointing after Crash, even if that was a different case where all multiplat versions were late. And also because there is still. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. For me to play the rest of the year. At least this mighta provided a week of nostalgia. But now, since I know it's probably coming, I'll keep waiting until confirmation one way or the other. (I'd take no announcement by E3 next year as a "no" lol)
I also think, but I'm just spitballing here, the Switch version might be listed twice in relation to a regular edition and a special edition. It'd make sense the PC version wouldn't have that and is only listed once given how it almost definitely wouldn't have a physical version. But if a Switch version does come out after launch, who knows if they'd put in the effort for that, since it doesn't seem to happen usually.
Can anyone think of cases where new target platforms for a AAA game were announced really late but came out on the same day as the originally announced ones, aside from announcing games for new consoles? Is it more common than I think?
The general guess for a Switch and PC release is 6 months after the OG Launch. So, we might see it March/April of 2019 at the latest. Likely before E3.
Unless,we do get that possible announcement this weekend. Supposedly there's more so come in the way of Spyro news.
