Wow... Good thing I was going to double dip anyway but this sucks. Why the PC version only?

What the actual making GBS threads gently caress.

Screw it, guess I'm spoiling myself on stuff. I wanted to avoid it until the game was out because a few days wasn't much to ask, but I don't care enough about spoilers to sit out on Mania once it's actually out for a solid fortnight.

I can't afford a Switch right now (or even get one probably), I don't have a PS4. Avoiding spoilers for the levels is now gonna be impossible :(

I bought mania for my friends on the PC and now they have to wait :v:

I'm already double dipping because my CE was delayed and I didn't want to wait, so I bought it on PS4 for the theme/icons.

Mania has been cancelled as Sega fear it will take sales away from Forces. Anyone who pre-purchased is getting a copy of Sonic 1 for free as compensation.

Mania's PC release is being delayed by 2 weeks due to performance issues, apparently. Anyone who's pre-ordered it before the 15th will be getting the genesis collection version of Sonic 1 (not the Taxman version).

Well they can't really give you a version of Sonic 1 that doesn't exist, can they?

If they're having issues porting Mania to Pc I doubt they could just magically throw together a port of Taxman 1 to PC in the meantime.

Now I'm hoping for a PC leak, performance issues be damned.

I trust the Sonic community will rip the soundtrack in no time flat, I shall use that to soothe my soul and avoid the temptation to look at anything else. I've checked out the list of zones, that plus soundtrack should tide me over.

Really though, if they're doing this, they want the game to be as good as it could possibly be. Unless you believe the conspiracy theory that this is being done to favor a game that doesn't release for another three months.

The game was made for PC first, it's not a port

They should just do a PC "beta" or something. I really don't want everyone to have to wait 2 weeks

The PS4 and X-Box versions were developed concurrently weren't they? I believe only the Switch version is a port.

Nah I won't cancel my preorder but goddamnit they could have warned like a month before about a possible delay. Oh well... :shrug:

Switch games usually release on Friday, so it was probably uploaded to Nintendo's servers yesterday.

The Switch version is being ported by an entirely different team, so its readiness and progress has no real bearing on the other versions.
