Batman: Arkham Knight PC won't be fixed until November at the latest, says report
The PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight may not be fixed until November the latest. This is according to an alleged leaked internal memo from WB Games to EB Games.
PC gamers have either been unable to purchase Batman: Arkham Knight due to WB Games pulling it from sale or have been playing a broken product. While we know it’ll take “significant” work to fix the game, we couldn’t have imagined it would require several months of work. But that’s exactly what an internal email sent to EB Games staff members claims as Warner Bros. says they should expect the game to be fixed in the spring.
Before you start pulling your hair out, the leaked internal memo was picked up by Kotaku Australia. Spring takes place between September and November in the land down under, so don’t go on thinking you’ll be waiting until 2016 to play Batman: Arkham Knight.
“As previously advised we have stopped sales of Batman: Arkham Knight PC while Warner and Rocksteady work on addressing performance issues with the game,” reads the alleged internal memo. “The latest information from Warner is that the updates won’t be available until Spring. Due to this we have made the difficult decision to recall all PC stock from stores to return to the vendor until an acceptable solution is released.”
PC gamers who were hoping to be able to purchase Batman: Arkham Knight, or at least play a stable version, were treated to some additional bad news this week as WBIE has halted the release of the game’s first DLC expansion that stars Batgirl and future DLC until the game is fixed. Fortunately, it looks like you may not have missed much according to our review of Batgirl: A Matter of Family.

Wonder how much money they are losing over this situation?
It's good they're addressing these issues now - but I still have a bad taste in my mouth over it as it seems like they only did it due to the outrage and refunds.
You shouldnt need to be pressured into releasing high quality content to your consumers - it should be the objective every time you work on a project -

Not a fan of this headline. It's misleading and poorly written =(
First, I imagine it's supposed to be "November at the latest" - lets write this one off as a typo.
Second, if you're going to frame it as November at the latest then it should not be a negative sentence. It should be "will be fixed by November at the latest"; this is a weird rule but saying "at the latest" is basically adding a negative so you really don't want to do both. You could also say "won't be fixed until September at the earliest" which I think is probably the best route, but that is simply a matter of opinion.
We can do better.
Batman: Arkham Knight PC fix expected no earlier than September.
B:AK PC could remain broken until November.
B:AK PC patch taking months more than we expected.
Etc.
