Did Take Two Interactive Ruin the Chance of a GTA 6?

I was about to buy GTA 5 for PC when heard the news about the mod ban. Surely won't buy it now until this bull**** is over. Same goes for GTA 6. No mods, no sale Take Two.

theyve lost about 25% of their pc market which runs the risk of people not buying it and thus losing profit so its likely if GTA 6 does come out PC will never see its release

Given some stuff people are ginoring on about what is going on with the mod bans and so on, think what your going to see if there is ever gta vi for pc is Take 2 selling its own mod tools to people and making it illegal to use any other mod tools for its games.

Just my random thoughts on the matter.

Its worth noting a lot of PC gamers bought the game twice.

On the consoles when first released and then again on PC.

So potentially that 25% is a lot larger.

As of right now if we say the petition equals future sales then T2 have lost roughly $2.6 million in future sales which translates in to about 43k copies of games. Not really that big of a number considering GTA V sold 75 million copies in total by february this year. I do however think even with that small number as it is right now, more people will not buy any games from T2 because of their recent stunt with OpenIV since modding was a huge selling point for GTA V.

I will personally not buy games from a company that won´t allow me to mod my game to my hearts desire like Bethesda and SCS Software allows me to do because it makes the game feel extremely limiting.

Hard to say at the moment. steam charts says they're enjoying a player bump possibly because of the Gunrunner DLC, and is currently 5th on the charts for steam games being played currently so right now it suggests the DLC has brought mroe players in than seem to be avoiding it.

Now the mod thing is fairly new, a boycott could be still gaining traction so numbers in a week or month from now will be more important, but unless there is a real large maybe even cross platform action to boycott further dlc, RD2 and maybe even other games connected to Take Two I dont know if there is enough to affect change.

It was neat watching all the negative reviews roll in, but unforunantly I dont see enough resistance to really hurt them, and they may just recoup whatever they lose by milking more out those who do play with even more transactions
