From CNET: After a significant number of complaints regarding performance issues, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has made the decision to voluntarily remove the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight from the Steam digital distribution network.
The fourth title in the popular Arkham series of Batman games faltered at the starting line, with the publisher pulling the PC version of the game just one day after the game's release on June 23.
Despite a warm reception by fans and critics alike, gamers who were playing the title on PC soon took to message boards complaining of audio glitches, frame rate drops and even freezing. The problems seem to be particularly prevalent for people using AMD graphics cards in their gaming PCs.
Long-suffering PC gamers were once again hit with launch-day issues preventing them from fully enjoying the game, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions were free of such problems. At a time when PC gaming has been regaining credibility thanks to features like virtual reality and 4K being most at home on PC, the failed launch of a highly anticipated game like Batman: Arkham Knight speaks to the traditional PC gaming fear of glitches and hardware incompatibility.
