“The reason why a PC port comes later and not the first thing that comes out, is because they want to prioritise what sells,” York said. “Most of the time, especially in the past, PlayStation was the big seller. PlayStation was the console to have. It sold more than any other console for the most part. Everybody’s playing PlayStation.”

“This is very important for everybody to remember: one of the main reasons why a PC port will take so long is because it’s different architecture and different components,” York said.

“They have to accommodate for all these different things that can happen. Because on a PlayStation and an Xbox, each one of those has one graphics card, and it’s the same graphics card, it’s the same architecture inside the box as every single PlayStation that’s shipped to millions of people. But when it comes to a PC, every single person has a different PC. They’re running it differently. They have different hardware in there. They have different CPUs and GPUs. The memory usage and the different things the game is doing in the background can sometimes hit a fail and mess up during different configurations. It’s hard to explain, but that’s what it boils down to.

“They need to test the game more on PC than they would on Xbox or PlayStation. If you think about it, you already have to test the game a ton in order to get it to work. So a PC is even harder. You got to throw more resources at it. You have to test things a lot more. And when you’re doing the PC port you have to test things on multiple different hardwares, different GPUs. Not just one or two, but 10 or 20. There’s so many different configurations out there that you’ll just never be able to test them all. And there’s a lot of things that can go wrong once you release that PC port, because it just hasn’t been tested by millions of people. It’s only been tested by a thousand people at work. So you can only take it so far.”

TLDR; duh. A) Consoles sell more games. B) Consoles have universal consistent hardware and are easier to optimize and resolve bugs.

Nah ,R* doesn't doing it because of tons of cash ....

Yea, money. We knew that already.

edit:
And double dipping. Hence why I started prioritizing, not, buying Rockstar games at the full price. Years late releases = me waiting for discounts.

I don't care.

I got plenty of other options to play, and GTA isn't that important to me anymore. It used to be, but things change.

That's shameless hyperbole.
The longest delay between console and Steam release for any Grand Theft Auto game was
1 year, 6 months and 29 days.

These are some dumb excuses. Many devs release games on all platforms at once without issues. R* is more than capable to test all they want in time. The only reason for a delay is greed.

100% agree with you. The article is nothing more than an attempt to pacify pc users. Although they did fail to mention, the earth, moon, and sun have to be in proper solar alignment...and then at the strike of midnight, only then can GTA 6 be released. Is this true...gaming scientists say yes.
