sederx,

oh noooooo

anyway…

Nilz,

When I fkrst read this I thought this was a joke post of someone not being able to start the game on their PC.

I think there will be a PC launch eventually.. Like always.

Zworf,

Not news as it’s 100% in line with their previous releases. I assume they are just paid by the console makers for exclusivity (though in this case not platform exclusivity but console in general).

The good thing is that the PC version usually gets the version that’s graphically improved, like the next-gen version of GTA V that came for Xbone as opposed to the launch version for Xbox 360.

I’m not really excited for it anymore anyway. GTA V was a huge disappointment, as no single-player DLC was ever released. I’ve never been interested in the online stuff so the whole game is a distant memory for me. I also thought the story lacked the depth of previous games. The three characters felt too generic.

What I’d be really stoked for is GTA: San Andreas for Oculus Quest. It was announced by Meta 2 years ago and there has been zero info about it since so I doubt it’s still coming. But if it did I’d jump on it <3

There isn’t anything on here that confirms it won’t launch on PC. They don’t credit the list of systems it will launch on to anyone and no one at Rockstar has confirmed what it will launch on formally yet.

nave,

That’s an official Rockstar press release.

Auzy,

Its probably the same game as GTA V, but with different music anyway, especially judging by the trailer

lorez,

Joke’s on them: I wouldn’t have bought it anyway!

BudgieMania,

The fact that this is even news at all confirms, yet again, that the memory of the general audience of the videogame industry only goes back to the last 6 to 8 months, if that.

PonyOfWar,

People remember, it’s more that some people hope that Rockstar will stop their bullshit eventually. PC gaming is in a very different place than it was when GTA V released.

BudgieMania,

Hm yeah you are right, I shouldn't deride the public for hoping this time it would be different. That was too harsh on my part.

DebatableRaccoon,

This isn’t news. They’ve always done this

Still kind of disappointing given the success of gta V on PC

Wasn't this the case with any other Rockstar game before?

DebatableRaccoon,

Yup which is why it isn’t newsworthy

Still, it is completely insane. Outside of Sony exclusives they are the only large company that does this.

bermuda,

I’d rather they conserve resources to make a finished game on some platforms than an unfinished one on many. Look what happened when CDPR tried to release Cyberpunk on 9 platforms at once.

Zworf,

Well it was mainly screwed on consoles though, not on PC 😺

DebatableRaccoon,

They’ve made it known they don’t care for PC players in the past. It’s like that toxic ex that occasionally turns up at your door to gice you a pity fuck before slapping you in the face then leaving again

Zworf,

Ehmmmm your ex is weird.

DebatableRaccoon,

Luckily I wasn’t referring to my own though I did already know that for other reasons

RIP PC gamers. We probably wont get it till 2027.

BruceTwarzen,

I hope people stop caring by then.

malchior,

Usual two year wait, then the next gen console re-releases. There’s absolutely no need to purchase this new at full price unless you like the multiplayer, which for some reason some people do.

P1r4nha,

Am I the only one old enough to remember that no 3D GTA ever released on PC first? This should have been expected.

aksdb,

Nope, you aren’t the only one.

It pisses me off each time, but I also expected it.

SternburgExport,

Eh… Gives me enough time to find out if the game is actually worth it. And its not like I have a choice anyway since I dont have a current gen console and after my experience with the last gen thats not going to change.

Caligvla,
@Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes it will, it will come to PC a year or two later in a “special edition” to make all the suckers to double dip.

Yep, sounds like they aren’t getting my money for a year
