When Batman: Arkham Knight was finally re-released last week for PC, both players and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment hoped their troubles were over. Alas, that wasn't the case.

After a four-month absence from Steam, during which the glitches the led to the game's abrupt removal were expected to be fixed, Arkham Knight returned still broken. Seemingly conceding defeat, Warner Bros. announced over the weekend it will offer full refunds through the end of the year to anyone who purchased the PC version.

"We are very sorry that many of our customers continue to be unhappy with the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight," the publisher said in a statement. "We worked hard to get the game to live up to the standard you deserve but understand that many of you are still experiencing issues."

"For those of you that hold onto the game," Warner Bros. continued, "we are going to continue to address the issues that we can fix and talk to you about the issues that we cannot fix."

That last part will undoubtedly give PC players something to chew over as they decide whether to request a refund.

Warner Bros. suspended sales of the troubled PC version within a day of the game's June 23 launch, with developer Rocksteady Studios revealing the PC port was farmed out to another company (a 12-person studio with a background in mobile games). However, the loss of PC sales did little to dampen enthusiasm for Arkham Knight, which has already sold more than 5 million copies worldwide.
