Oh well than that's a no-brainer. Pre order bonuses it is, then.

Red Dead Redemption 2 PC - Nov 5 (Rockstar Games Launcher, EGS, GMG, Humble and other digital retailers. Coming to Steam in December)
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
PC with mods
I wish, but doubt it
Well, I guess worst case is it gets bundled into the inevitable next gen remaster.
Love it. This is how you release on pc. Put it on everything. Give players incentives to buy in one place vs another. I'll be waiting for the steam release. I wonder if the free prepurchase stuff that you'd get in the rockstar launcher would be purchaseable in steam?
Red Dead Redemption 2 PC |OT| - I got the horses in the back
Red Dead Redemption 2 PC |OT| - You can't whip your Porsche
Nice!
Haha!
My bags are already packed!
I suppose they want to maximize revenue during a one-month launch window.

Hmm. My laptop usually runs games at parity with consoles at least but I can only think this will melt it :(
Already played it all on PS4. Was fucking worth it amazing game. May double dip in the future with a new rig would love to play it at it's prettiest.
Also fucking lol on the 1 month delay and framing it like Rockstar are desperate for that sweet EGS dev cut. Either it was a deal that 1 month cost as much as Borderlands 3 for 6months, or Rockstat are hoping to kinda tease the Uplay scenario and see if they can drive people to buy from their store instead of EGS.

Nice. It will be great to play this with a stable frame rate. I'll be buying on Steam. One month makes no difference when you've already been waiting for so long.
My PC died today. Luckily I'll have a new one by the time this hits.
Now to decide if I want to wait for the Steam version or go Rockstar Launcher...

Well the number of copies sold of GTA5 on Steam is staggering. 80 percent of a lot of money is still a lot of money and they don't have to rock the boat. 80 percent still fills the gap between consoles (70 percent) and egs (88 percent).
The first month of sales is typically a big month so it makes sense this way to get 100 percent of sales from people who need it on day one. After this you sell to one of the biggest gaming markets available being Steam. The number of eyeballs in Steam (especially worldwide) probably worth the cut.
We don't know yet. Hopefully we can like we could do with GTA Online when that launched on PC.
Apparently we will know on October 9th.
I have been waiting for this (and can certainly wait another month for Steam) but now I'm getting concerned my PC is a little too long in the tooth to really get a good experience out of this (I can play Assassin's Creed Odyssey on medium settings but it does chug at times). Depending on on exact requirements this could be my gateway for Stadia.
Wait, what part doesn't make sense? Is the argument that because Steam has such a larger market audience, it negates the store % cut?
I played the snot out of this on PS4. I wonder if it's worth a double-dip on PC, as I never played Red Dead Online.
Fuck yeah!
This will be my first experience with the RDR franchise. Never played the first and I waited for the PC version of the second.
Day 1 on the Rockstar launcher (I always prefer to buy my games on the official launcher of each publisher).

The 1 month anti-Steam period is more hilarious to me than anything. Why even bother if your millions can only get you that? Rockstar launcher will probably get the most day one sales. Steam will get the most sales after a month. I can't blame Rockstar for taking what seems like free money.
I can't wait to use mods. Will be the only way I ever replay this game since it's such a huge slog.

Not really sure if this is a game I'll like.
Regardless, "waiting" for the version on a feature rich service like Steam is no issue. December releases don't work well for me as I'm away from my computer over the holiday period, so probably won't even get it till Feb

How do we know Epic is behind that? Seems weird, considering it's only a month or so. It's not like the people hell-bent on skipping Epic store can't wait that short amount of time.
I really really wish people would stop posting inaccurate information
A) the Steam margin is 80% for RDR2, not 70% as stated
B) Stadia takes a 30% cut - wouldn't make sense to release it on Stadia without a delay if we follow that logic
C) maybe the moneybag from Epic has something to do with the Steam delay, who knows
I'm waiting for maybe 2 years for mods to mature, and if mods never mature I'm ok with not playing it. I'm looking for all out Saints Row level of wacky. Flying, supercars, magic, revamped law system that don't get on your back for bumping into a person, etc. etc. I'm in for fun.
