Yea I mean it is not like square doesn't have a history of stealth pc releases.....
But it wasn't stealthy at all... They announced it, made ad material for it and then suddenly removed it. And it would seem that that advertising had a release schedule because every time something went up, seemingly automated, it was taken down.
I'll say it again, there is literally no business reason that you would stop advertising for the release of a product for a huge potential consumer base where you make more money per copy sold for any length of time... for no reason and without compensation. ESPECIALLY after material was already made and displayed. I'm talking about steam logo's not release dates and what not.
And no, denuvo whatever or the game not being ready for that platform is not a reason. Games get announced for multiple platforms all the time and are advertised for them for years in advance until and after the game is launched.
I will continue to believe that there was some sort of deal in place. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong and I'll eat crow. Durant senpai and I will have a crow picnic.
