Red Dead Redemption not viable on PC, says Rockstar
For technical, development, and/or business reasons
Rockstar's Western Red Dead Redemption is due up for a Game of the Year Edition release next week, which some PC fans saw as a sign a complete collection might release on their platform soon enough. Sadly, the studio is still saying the game is "absent from [their] PC release plans," giving only vague reasoning as to why.
"We hope that with the announcement that L.A. Noire is coming to PC this fall, and the knowledge that our next big game Max Payne 3 will have a PC release (plus that we’ve released both Grand Theft Auto IV and the Episodes from Liberty City for PC), we can finally put to rest any misconceptions that we’ve ‘abandoned the PC platform’."
"We do know that, yes, there is just one title absent from our PC release plans – that game of course being Red Dead Redemption, and of course we’re well aware that some fans have been asking for it. All we can say is that whenever it is viable (technically, developmentally and business-wise) for us to release a game for PC (or any other particular platform) – we will and we usually do; unfortunately, that is just not the case 100% of the time for all platforms."

Unless they buggered up their ability to make a decent port of the game to PC because of something in the development process (coding or something), I don't see why they wouldn't be able to.
It's not like they are any good at porting anyway though. I still want it on PC regardless >_>
For this game, as well as a lot of other PC games, Controller all the way.
They dont want people who arent running intel quads to cry like last time (amd owners)
The game was all about cpu power, not video card power as most people believe
If you didnt have good enough gpu, you could lower the games sliders, but if your cpu wasnt good enough, nothing you did would reduce the strain on it.
Fact of matter is AMD quad cores couldnt cut the mustard in GTA IV while intel quad cores never had any problems. Sorry, but thats the truth.
