Would releasing RDR2 on the Switch mean it would be released on PC also?

I was thinking about this and it would make ZERO sense if they do indeed bring the game to the Switch and not on PC. 

GTA V sold well on the PC and a lot of people even bought two copies who play on both console and PC. I feel like if they did release it for Nintendo it would be a slap in the face to PC gamers. What are your thoughts on this? You think if the Switch rumor is true, it will later come out on PC as well?

They will do what they want. If they see there is profit to be made, I can see RDR2 coming out for PC in 2019. If not, then it won't. The Switch is still a very much a new console. There is likely more money to be made there than PC right now.

I'm not sure this is entirely true. More and more people are becoming PC gamers every year. There are far more gaming options. Most people stick to consoles for the exclusives. Case in point, if RDR2 doesn't come out on PC, there will be people who buy a console new or used just to play it.

I can't see why they wouldn't release the game on PC at this point given the success of GTA V on Steam. They sold A LOT of copies there and still sell them.

We don't even know if it will come out on the Switch. I have my doubts it can even handle a game like this. With that being said, no. No it does not mean anything for PC gamers or for the game coming out on PC.

This. I get being excited at the chance but just because they didn't say no doesn't make it a yes. Come on now.

Does Nintendo ever pay for console exclusive stuff (even if just timed)? Would probably bring in quite a few sales if they did release something extra special and if they released the game at the same time or at least close enough to the other console releases.

Would like to know how L.A. Noire has faired so far on the switch in terms of sales.

They sold just under Xbox One which is good. PS4 took the most sales from what I read with over 50%. Not sure how many copies were sold on each one though.

Switch and PC are two different classes. PC can handle WAY more. I can see RDR2 being on Switch before PC and by that I mean, not coming out on PC at all.
