Skyrim Remaster console prices makes PC users gloat

Bethesda announced at E3 this year that a Skyrim Remaster was coming to PC and consoles. Fans of the Elder Scrolls series had been waiting for at least two years for this announcement. The pricing has not pleased console fans too much. The Skyrim Special Edition will be available for free to Steam users who own the Legendary Edition, or have purchased all the downloadable content with the original base game.https://twitter.com/BethesdaStudios/status/742194847101095936The Skyrim Special Edition for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One costs $60. PC users pay nothing and console users have to pay full price. This has left console users scratching their heads, and PC users gloating. Over the course of the week, the point was raised multiple times to Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing at Bethesda, on Twitter. The discount for Steam users prompted fans already owning the game to ask the studio if there were any discounts available for them at least.https://twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/742508478426550272The issue came up again, and prompted a mini Twitter battle. Peace was made, and a explanation was given. Apparently, because of how different the newer generation console platforms are, getting the Special Edition to the consoles was similar to making a new game. A similar question kicked off the "debate".https://twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/744305994050768896https://twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/744307319857618944https://twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/744316575935668224Everything you need to know about the sequel to Skyrim, provisionally called Skyrim 2 or Elder Scrolls VI, is right here.
