@MAGIC-KINECT They are hoping that PC owners will rebuy it on PC so they can enjoy it full glory 1080 60 - 144 FPS no pop-ins and dynamic physics, and maybe mods with larger Multiplayer in online mode.
They want to people to buy console first and play at 1280x 790 at 24 FPS. Then hope that you will want to purchase it again for the upgraded 1920 x 1080 at 60 -144 FPS High textures no pop-in version with unscripted physics.
@The_Godfather_ well if they would compile the game to run on Linux and OpenGL there is a very good possibility you wouldn't need the most expensive hardware for ultra setting.
Take note that is for DirectX windows spec. Maybe they will compile for the SteamOS/Linux and use OpenGL. Were you should not need to use the High End components to play in ultra.
I think It would be embarrassing to M$ if the game showed the Linux light OS requirements for same performance using OpenGL.
