you can doubt that I have experience making games all you want, that's cool, especially when all you are doing is speculation and assumptions anyway.
my asking was because in unreal, PC to console is a fairly straightforward process, the biggest worries have to do with shaders/rendering and physics.

I'm doubting because everything you've stated makes it sound that, at best, you've worked on small indie projects, and nothing anywhere close to the scale and scope of a game the size of Rebirth, especially since your only argument boils down to "Well I worked with Unreal once", and thinking that the only thing that has to be worried about are the graphical sides of things, and not the literal code of the game itself that likely has to be adjusted to run properly on a PC in order to take into consideration the dozens of different hardware configurations a PC can have, to say nothing about any (and plenty) of bugs, crashes, and otherwise major issues that are likely to spring up during the porting process.

Your initial post of "Why hasn't SE said anything about the game releasing, the exclusivity is over, and I want to buy my new toy NOW!" tells me a lot more that you really don't understand the scale and scope of making a console game work properly on the PC platform, or at the very least have a very, VERY limited understanding of how the actual mechanisms of game development work outside of whatever small task you seem to be relegated to on whatever tiny one-off indie project you made a few years ago.

The exclusivity deal being over means literally nothing in the grand scheme of when a console-exclusive game is going to be ported over to the PC, a point that you don't seem to fully grasp, at all.
