Petition for Grand Theft Auto V on PC

Digy123 · 13-05-2013 7:10am #1

Hey lads,iv recently found out about a petition on Change.org to try get GTA V on PC.
I have recently moved away from consoles and become a PC gamer,i think it would be a shame for the community in general to miss out on what is going to be a great game.

Even if you are not huge into PC gaming yourself can you please sign the petition?
I don't think its fair for Rockstar to leave out a huge chunk of gaming population

Did they announce they have no intentions of releasing it on PC?

Of course they will release it on PC, it will be worth millions to the company. Its a business after all. I reckon they will release it 8 - 12 months after the console release date. Why are people paranoid, they have released nearly every GTA on pc after a while.

It'll be out on PC, I think that's a given since it's one of the biggest franchises and GTA IV is heavily active with mods and multiplayer today.

It would be extremely bad publicity for them otherwise and, after the mess that was GTA IV's release, I'd prefer if they took their time with it so that it'll be optimised to run smoothly on PCs.

Yeah agreed. I was an exclusive PC gamer, but the long wait for GTA IV and the fustrations with it were big factors for me buying a PS3.

As said, the game is being released on PC. But it'll probably be about 6 months after the console release. And the petition won't change anything because they can't delay the console release to wait for the PC release to be finished, and delaying the console release means the next-gen consoles will have been released by that stage which could lessen sales.

Aye, I don't think anyone should really be surprised by this. GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas & GTA IV were all released on PC a few months after those games had hit consoles.

I am willing to wait it out anyways!
