If you care about modding, the PC release is a real thing to wait for. Editorial on how to think about that.

Why the wait is hard

Console-first means PC players miss launch. Modding follows PC. Streamer culture lives on the PC side. The wait is months.

There's nothing to be done about it. It's structural.

Practical advice

Don't pre-order PC speculatively. Watch for the official PC announcement. Plan storage and hardware around the announcement, not before.
