Do you think GTA VI will come to PC day 1?

[Shocker]

If it won't come to PC day 1 like every other third party game we should boycott it.

I will not

They might milk your pockets but they never milked mine before. I never spent anything on GTA Online. I only played the introduction of it. One more thing, if a game is on Playstation and Xbox, it's not an exclusive by any means. Neither Sony or Microsoft have any benefit cause it's not on PC but it's on each others platform. Remember, they release their games on PC, and not on the competitions console. Common sense.

Ofc they befit from this, people who didn't have a console will buy it to play the game, if that isn't beneficial then what you call it.

Street Fighter V ring any bell? Sony had a partnership with Capcom to not release it on Xbox, and the game came out on PS4 and PC with cross platform play. Sony and Microsoft never had any partnership with Rockstar to keep the games from PC. When Sony did had a partnership when it came to the GTA IV expansions they had it exclusive, and then both the PC and Xbox versions came out on the same time.

The last Grand Theft Auto game in the franchise that was released day 1 for PC was GTA2 back in 1999.
Ever since GTA III in 2001, all games were released first on consoles and stayed exclusive for at least seven months, which increased to 19 months with GTA V.

The last time a Grand Theft Auto game was released first on PC was the very first game in 1997.
The only time a game was PC exclusive was GTA London 1961, the free DLC for the GTA London 1969 expansion pack.

Happy boycotting!

No fam. The 3D era games came to PS2 first. Not on consoles, only on PS2. The PC and Xbox versions came out around the same time 6-8 months after the PS2 version. It's all about what makes more money and the PC makes the most money nowadays.

My point is, that the PC release hasn't been on day 1 for the past 22 years, and never again will be, because any and all consoles will nowadays make more profit.
And that profit very obviously also includes subsidy fundings from the console hardware manufacturers who pay a lot to get timed exclusivity.

There is no such PC lobbyism.
The only entity with the power to do so would be Microsoft with their Windows platform, but won't kill off their own console business.
Alas, PC will never again be a prime market.

Literally nothing you said here is true. PC is the prime market nowadays. What exclusivity are the console manufacturers are paying when the game comes out for multiple consoles? Are you stupid? If Microsoft and even Sony would want to keep GTA off from PC why do they release their whole first party lineup for PC? Every single publisher releases their games on PC day one, while Microsoft releases their first party games on PC day 1. In fact some of their games get's released on PC earlier than for Xbox, like Microsoft Flight Simulator and Gears Tactics. They rather pay exclusivity to third parties to keep their games off from each others console.

PC makes more revenue than consoles. Here are the evidence.

Final Fantasy 16 is not going to be released on PC day 1 and going to be released who knows when after who knows how long. Also Final Fantasy 7 remake, which became available on PC over a year later. Rockstar is not unique in this.

I don't see Final Fantasy 16 anywhere on Xbox or Switch. Final Fantasy 7 remake only came out on PlayStation and PC. So what did you proved here? I'm not talking about when Sony or Microsoft makes an actual exclusive deal.

Final Fantasy will be released to PC.
Your right that's it's not on day 1. But after a year or 2 it will be released.

And i'm pretty sure GTA 6 will be on PC too after X amount of years. Lazy R* wants to earn as much money as possible. So don't'see any reason they will not release on PC.

Probably like now, they just make some exclusive dlc to consoles. And hope PC gamers will get a console + gta (again) to get those stuff.

why do you keep saying this when i have proof to the contrary?

again here is the market share.
https://venturebeat.com/games/pc-and-console-sales-are-down-but-the-market-is-stabilizing-newzoo/


just because steam has the most users doesn't mean all those users can even play the game.

That's a fair take, however here's the amount of units sold for both Xbox and PS5. A high number for sure, but in there lies a question. How many will buy GTA 6?

From Google:
"The PlayStation 5 has sold 35.94 million units in 29 months, while the Xbox Series X|S sold 21.35 million units. The PlayStation 5 has a 62.7 percent marketshare (+3.7% year-over-year), compared to 37.3 percent for the Xbox Series X|S (-3.7% year-over-year)."- May 5, 2023

Now on to the question of how many gamers play on PC. I won't bother looking it up, because I know that the number is high; maybe even a guesstimate double the amount of consoles sold or possibly more.

The problem is. In order for Rockstar to make an attempt to boost sales of consoles, they release to PC late. There could be other reasons, but that seems the most likely to me.

That could easily be a double edged sword in the sense of, what happens when the PC players decide that enough is enough? That could easily happen, just solely based on the fact that Rockstar, imo, likes to mess with people as well as see how much that they can get away with.

[GetFrickD]

they will prolly release it 2-3 years after console versions have released like every rockstar games game

Every "new" Fifa release on Switch shows that the majority of people are sheeps and buy anything, as long as it bears the right name... GTAVI will decimate any previous sales numbers, just like every other R* developed(!not just produced!) game before.

[oblivion locksmith]

rockstar has no soul. they're a disgustingly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ company that makes good games while doing a disgustingly ♥♥♥♥♥♥ job at supporting them.

better believe theres a room full of scummy rockstar execs somewhere arguing that by delaying the release on pc for as long as possible, they'll drive people to buy consoles and the console version, then release it on PC so then people will actually buy the game for their platform of preference. therefore, some will buy the game twice.

it'll probably net the scumbags a small profit with this dynamic, but any morsel of profit is good enough, no matter how sleazy.
