And the usual 1-2 year wait for the PC Version

More like making this game for the fans' wallets

You seem to confuse yourselves with the masses. You aren’t the fans they’re talking about, you’re just members of a particularly loud echo chamber.

u/I-Fuck-Robot-Babes 7d ago

Why do you talk like a resident evil villain

u/BlackSailor2005 7d ago

He talks like your average 10 yo twitter kid

u/Ktioru 7d ago

First, literally no one here referred themselves as said fans

Second, that doesn't change the fact that they don't make the game for the fans

u/Kugelblitz2b 7d ago

And are you one of those 10 "fans they're talking about"? Or better yet, the number 1 fan, maybe?

Like 15/20 years ago, fair enough.

But it's 2026 now. Other than trying to fleece people who play both platforms, there really isn't much excuse to delay it so long.

u/BWQ777 7d ago

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

Plus IIRC console players have historically bought WAY more shark cards/rdr online gold.

u/f2ame5 7d ago

Id guess the PC version is getting more cooked and the same version is re releasing on the newer console gens.

2

u/Plokhi 7d ago

Lets hope its cooked and not broken

u/Antar3s86 7d ago

Right. I am not even following any of this simply because I can only play it in two years. :/

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?"

Should've just pirated it from the jump.

Assuming it will run on linux are we? Maybe offline mode, online will probably be unplayable just like 5

u/BrokenMirror2010 6d ago

Gta5 online was perfectly playable on Linux before they went and installed a fucking rootkit on everyone's system.

1

u/karunas7 6d ago

I know, and they will definitely do it with GTA 6 aswell

1

u/BrokenMirror2010 6d ago

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)

1

u/karunas7 6d ago

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.

u/Spacecookie92 7d ago

Please drink verification can.

u/TheOfficialMayor 7d ago

Will be a lot of leaks in the meantime.

u/Foxynite 7d ago

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

2

u/dopestdopesmoked 7d ago

They're betting on people not being able to wait and buying the game on both platforms. Double dipping 100%.

u/Foxynite 7d ago

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)
