Rockstar Games' announcement of the much awaited Western-themed action game "Red Dead Redemption 2" has made fans of the franchise excited. However, the game will not be released on PC, leaving many disappointed.

The excitement over the game's announcement was dampened by the fact that PC owners would again be left in the dark. The first title, "Red Dead Redemption," was also unavailable on PC, and was only launched on Playstation 3 and Xbox One.

The demand for the port is so strong that a petition was started for Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive to bring the game to PC. The petition, which was started via change.org, has amassed over 20,000 signatures as of this writing, and is already close to its 25,000 signature target.

"Because 'Red Dead Redemption' is an amazing game and we PC players have been denied from playing it," petition starter Aleo Aninda wrote on the petition page. "Please don't do the same with 'Red Dead Redemption 2'."

Despite the demands, however, some fans speculate that Rockstar will indeed release the PC version of "Red Dead Redemption" sometime after the game's release on consoles. Some have even accused the company of doing this to increase sales, citing "Grand Theft Auto V" as an example.

"Rockstar made one billion dollars in the first 3 days of release for GTA V back in 2013 for the last-gen consoles,"one Redditor commented. "Porting and revamping the game for PS4, XBONE, and PC only heightened their profits because many people bought it twice, maybe even thrice. So why not continue that trend?"

"This is 100% the reason why. They're double-dipping into customer pockets," another Reddit user said. "PC release will probably be about a year later, and won't be announced until 6 months after console release. They'll then hide it under the guise of 'optimizations and features' but in reality it's simply to make more money."

Will Rockstar bring "Red Dead Redemption 2" to PC? Stay tuned for more updates.
