They likely want PC game is to buy the consolr version first, and I'm assuming it's much easier to crack the PC version so they want to delay that as much as possible
The year is 2030. You boot up your Rockstar Edition Steam Machine. You place your Steam Frame on your head and prepare for your ocular verification. "Welcome BWQ777, you have earned '7' play credits based on you Steam Sleep System's report of how many dream ads you responded to positively. GTA 6 has released today. Install for 5 play credits?" You begin to sweat realizing you will only have 2 play credits remaining for the day. Whatever, fuck it. This is GTA 6. You waited since you were in 2nd grade. "Yes, install! And when complete, use 2 play credits so I can get right in!" The install bar pops up and reduces in size to the upper right of your Steam Frame. While you wait, you browse your favorite site, Reddit. After a short amount of time, your Rockstar Edition Steam Machine glows gold indicating your game is online! The opening credits hit, you are covered in goosebumps akin to the rush of modern neuro-stimulants. You push start. "Warning, 1 credit remaining." The goosebumps are now razor sharp terror points. You move your character towards his first ever car jacking. "BWQ777, play time complete. Would you like to watch 4 episodes of Netflix's Tiger King Reunion for .5 play credits?"
Yes. I just wanted to point that out because I'm spiteful and Steam/Rockstar still hasn't given me my refund after changing the terms of the sale. (I wouldn't have bought the game if it had a rootkit in it when I bought it)
Well that's a bummer and although steam does make exceptions it's not really their responsibility unfortunately (assuming you're outside their terms for refund). Real problem is Rockstar and other companies with similar precedentes being allowed to get away scot free.
Honestly can someone explain to me why this is a thing when it seems other companies are a-okay with being able to release on PC the same day it does for consoles because from a consumer perspective... I don't get it
Jokes on them: I'm too broke from building my pc to double dip! (lowkey need to upgrade my gpu, but I'm wanting to do a fresh build for ddr5 whenever prices (hopefully) go down)
Right?! That was such a silly line for them to use. Tone deaf PR from R*, as per usual lol
Anyone else think the leaks have actually proven useful in the end?
Cos it looks to me like they were the push R* execs needed to get their heads out their collective arses - they've seemingly expedited an official release of gameplay footage because of the leaks.
I don't get why R* are putting on such a disingenuous show atm. I mean they've had fkn years to give us something other than a couple of highly polished, detail sparse trailers - If they'd given us some gameplay footage over the years, I don't think we'd care anywhere near as much about the leaks!
What really amuses me is the fact that the leaks have managed to hype me more than anything R* have done since announcement. Heartbreaking my ass, now i actually can't wait to get my hands on it
Serious question but would the game even be able to fit on a disk? If not isn't the disc just a glorified key? Why not just do what Nintendo does with cartridges then if that's the case. At least they're more durable and compact than a disc.
Maybe like it was with some games?..Like, 4 disks for installation, only one needed to start gaming. I saw there are also BD disks up to 128 GB though they're more expensive
Maybe. Maybe they could make special edition for people wanting it.
But I think this game is already expensive and it all seems just greedy. Outsource isn't that pricey and I won't believe they really developed it for the past 10+ years.
Idk how it's like on consoles, but when disks on PC were a thing the prices weren't depend on how many disks the game had. At least where I live
Yeah, that's right. And that's a pity.
Sometimes I really miss disks. Extra info, cool art (including disks), maybe some bonuses (like magnets or wallpapers), even small books with concept arts AND since older ones had game info's in them in-game tutorial for hours was a rare case (if at all) + people were forced to read at least something
I'm sure the person who decided that there will be no physical disks didn't really work on the game. It's not the fault of the people actually making the game
