GTA 6 ON PC

[Tzyku]

Why doesn't Rockstar release GTA 6 on PC at the same time as on consoles? I get it, they're trying to maximize profits before PC piracy makes the game available for free. But look at the PC market in 2024. Almost everyone is buying games now. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of players would buy GTA 6 right away instead of pirating it. Rockstar is still living in 2010. PC games revenue increased from $5.38 billion in 2008 to an estimated $26.33 billion in 2024, reflecting a growing consumer willingness to purchase games legally. Not only that, but even Sony is porting their games to PC for a reason: money. The PC market is incredibly profitable. Titles like God of War, Spiderman, Death Stranding, and Days Gone sold millions of copies after being ported to PC, demonstrating the financial potential of the platform.

Because they don't want to. It's the same model they've had for all their recent titles. Also, discussing piracy isn't the best idea here.

They don't want to it's not a strong argument, there sould be a reason.

Lucia sucks

They know people will double dip just like they did with gta v and rdr2.

[Wemer]

People have the tendency of buying the same game twice, and Rockstar knows that.

And it's a reason. That you don't like the reason or don't consider it "strong" is entirely irrelevant.

I loved that game and it was just not playable on PC after a bit due to all of the cheating. I don't care if 6 ever comes to PC.

Since I'm only playing the campaigh (not into GTA online), I'll probably wait until a 50% off. I might not be playing at all if the DEI stuff turns out to be true

As some old character from Samurai Warriors used to say: "Patience is the key to any battle"

Why would you care about people cheating in a Single Player game?

Then ask Rockstar. "They don't want to" is just as strong and valid as any other reason someone on these forums can come up with who isn't an employee of Rockstar in the particular department that actually makes these decisions. Don't ask the question on a completely unrelated forum used by people completely unrelated to the entity that has the actual information if you don't like the fact that you are not going to get official answers from the official source that does not have a presence on these forums.

Why even care! just gonna be out of date when it releases,play and feel the same because that is how rockstar rolls. The GTA series is old and dried up (boring) one big fake fest! Rather have an RDR 3 to be honest.

There is a reason. The reason is because they don't want to. They focus on developing for console first because that's what they want to do. If you want to know how they reached that decision become a significant Take-Two Interactive shareholder and ask them at the next shareholder's meeting.

Sometimes we aren't meant to know every iota of reasoning behind a decision. And we aren't entitled to one. Rockstar is releasing first on console. It's been their release strategy for as long as I can remember.

Rockstar has been in the business of making games for a long time now. I'd imagine they considered all the pros and cons before making that call.
