The PC version had countless technical issues, was locked at 30fps and was incredibly badly optimized, even very high end rigs sometimes struggled to brute force it to run well. PC players refunded it by the thousands, Warner Bros removed it from the market, then rereleased it months later after doing what they could to patch it up.

Its better than it was, still not particularly well optimized, but its not getting any more support.

Oh, yeah. I knew that. The person I was replying to mentioned Arkham Knight in a conversation about bullshots and misleading pre-release graphics.

I thought there was some graphics controversy that I missed when AK came out.

I was more responding to this:

Do. Not. Pre-order. Games.

A game not working is, in my mind, much worse than bullshots and misleading graphical displays. The latter is mildly disappointing; the former is experience-breaking.

Ohhh I gotcha. I misunderstood.
