Kotaku today reports that Warner Bros. was aware of Batman: Arkham Knight‘s Windows PC issues ahead of its release, but still decided to make the version available to consumers anyway.
“I will say that it’s pretty rich for WB to act like they had no idea the game was in such a horrible state,” an anonymous source allegedly connected with the game said to Kotaku.
“It’s been like this for months and all the problems we see now were the exact same, unchanged, almost a year ago.”
The source said that Rocksteady consistently had problems getting the Windows PC version off the ground, with a focus instead on the game’s current-gen Xbox One and PS4 releases. The source furthers that Windows PC issues were “impossible for months,” becoming the reason why “the game got delayed so many times.”
“[Rocksteady was] totally unprepared for how hard [development]… was on next-gen consoles,” the source added.
In the wake of game-crippling bugs and frame rate issues on Windows PC, Warner Bros. has suspended sales of Batman: Arkham Knight on Windows PC. A first patch has been released for that version, with Warner Bros. outlining fixes to come.
