Somehow I can't see any of these actually happening.
You are not alone. But a guy can dream, can't he?

About the PC releases....
Your gripe seems a little petty. You want to have your cake and eat it too.
Either they release shoddy versions (Arkham Knight), or take time do it properly (GTA V). You want it to be done right, immediately. Unless it is a PC game first, that isn't going to happen and it's unrealistic to expect better. Personally, I want to get a finished product regardless of the wait.
Two thoughts on that.
First, it's entirely possible to build a PC version alongside a console version
especially with the architecture of the new consoles being so aligned with PCs. We've seen this done before (
Max Payne 3), and say what you want about the quality of the game itself (I personally liked it), but the PC version was solid as hell. It was developed in tandem with the console version, and released the same day. It's not unrealistic to expect something like this, especially in light of how much money is out there in PC gaming right now.
Second, you'll note that I never said that PC versions
have to be day and date releases with consoles. I said it's ridiculous for them to take so long to push out, especially if they're still a huge mess like GTA 5 / GTA Online. If a PC version lags a month or two behind, I'd be annoyed, but not up in arms over it.
What makes me angry is when PC versions are literally years later (or skipped entirely), or when they finally come out and it's obvious they did nothing to actually tailor the game to PC. In many cases, they don't even bother taking out the console prompts. They don't add simple features like field of view sliders. In short, they demonstrate that the PC version is a tossed-off afterthought that they're just doing so they can grab some of that sweet, sweet Steam money.
That's what I want to see change.

People keep saying "make a true MMORPG" but then they never say just what that is.
I don't even care what makes a "true" MMO. I just want to see someone move the genre forward and innovate. Hell, let two or three somebodies make what
they think a "true" MMO is, and we can all play them and see what's best. I'm just sick of playing over a decade's worth of World of Warcraft clones.
