Warner Brothers Suspends Sales of Batman Arkham Knight for PC

Because of the woefully bad performance of the PC version of the final installment of the Batman trilogy, Batman Arkham Knight, WB has suspended sales of the game for PC until such time that they can patch the game to a playable point.

WB representatives on the game’s official forum have also informed players of how they might receive a refund for their game if they choose not to wait for the problem to be solved.

Thank you to those players who have already given valuable feedback. We are continuously monitoring all threads posted in the Official Batman: Arkham Knight Community and Steam forums, as well as any issues logged with our Customer Support (support.wbgames.com). If you purchased your copy of the game and are not satisfied with your experience, then we ask for your patience while these issues are resolved. If desired, you can request a refund at help.steampowered.com (Steam refund policies can be found here: http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds) or the retail location where you purchased the game.

The Batman: Arkham fans have continually supported the franchise to its current height of success, and we want to thank you for your patience as we work to deliver an updated version of Batman: Arkham Knight on PC so you can all enjoy the final chapter of the Batman: Arkham series as it was meant to be played.

That’s a whole lot of refunds for a $60/$100 game, but I’m guessing that most people will hold out for their pre-order bonuses alone. And really, WB? This game didn’t play like crap for your QA folks before launch. ‘Tis better to delay than create ill will. I’m sure that lots of folks will think twice before pre-ordering or buying the next big WB title on PC (especially if the Superman conspiracy theories hold true).
