The massive number of complaints from PC users has prompted WB/Rocksteady to suspend sales until the problems are fixed.

Arkham Knight has debuted to great reviews from critics and players - unless those players are playing on a PC. Around 2/3 of Steam users have given the game a negative score, citing a variety of issues which include a locked-in 30 fps, missing graphic features, and constant crashing and glitching. This has rendered the game unplayable for many. It's not an issue with meeting specs, even players with high end gaming systems are suffering from the same problems.
Rocksteady did not handle the PC port themselves but outsourced it to a much smaller studio. It is a common complaint that PC ports often feel like an afterthought to developers; Arkham Knight is just the latest and most extreme example.
From the company's statement: "We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC. We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards."
WB has not given any estimate as to when the game will be ready, making the suspension indefinite at the moment.
MESS.
