There's really only one reason for Rockstar to release Grand Theft Auto 6 later on PC
And buddy I don't have to like it.
GTA online ruined the whole series for me, even though I liked the single player. Just unplayable. Only for rockstar to fully focus on it, cause micro transactions. I just don't care anymore.
I got banned on it using cheats as an anticheat, because it got so bad. Don't regret the ban.
For me it was the systematic destructor mods and cheats. Modded GTA5 was awesome, thenbthey removed the script hooks and everything got way too complicated.
There are many reasons you can think gtao is unplayable, but in my opinion micro transactions is not one of them.
I believe they meant Rockstar puts their full focus on gtao because of the revenue brought in by micro transactions. Not that gtao is unplayable because of micro transactions.
Why do you believe online is unplayable?
Online is unplayable for the reasons posted but I’m more pissed they scuttled the single player DLC to focus on online instead.
I was mostly talking about multiplayer at launch being unplayable. I tried to play with friends but the loading times were just abysmal, and lots of crashes which caused you to go through all the loading screens again. And just annoying people on the map. This was before all the cheaters showed up. Gta online made them a shitton of money so I don't think single player is their priority.
when has long-term growth and stability ever been prioritized over short-term wins in the games industry?
I dunno, maybe Valve's entire approach to Linux and devices. Maybe GOG's dedication to only selling DRM-free games. You'd think PC Gamer magazine would be well aware of these.
I’ll wait even longer bc I’m not giving those assholes $70.
I think I will be skipping all together or go the libre route due to that nasty launcher
I was just wanting to play gta 5 on steamdeck. But it has some anti cheat and stoped working on Linux.
It was just added this past week. So I literally cannot play a game that I bought.
It didn’t even occur to me to go the Libre route. I’m 100% doing that so I can play a game that I own.
Too bad many of the people in my generation who grew up with GTA games stopped caring since we're all middle aged now anyway.
Also the impact of a new rockstar game today is very different from what it was in the 2000s. There's so much to play now that waiting a year isn't that big a deal when you have a giant library of Steam games.
Rockstar wants people to double drip. That's why, like they did with GTA5.
And RDR2. Although GTA5 they got an extra layer with the original and next gen console releases as well as PC.
There's only one reason to clickbait that hard
And it's the same reason as the one alluded to in the title.
Fuck them for using us for their financial strategy.
I think that's just called "business"
Lol
It's not like the reason has changed since GTA 3, when this "tradition" first started.
Money. That's why.
People double dipping and people that buy it on pc release for full price when that is just too much to ask at that point.
I waited years and years for RdR2 to be at a reasonable price, only bought it because I had a gift card and only needed to pay what amounted to a candy bar. Still managed to get disappointed with the start of the game. In hindsight I should have gotten a refund for it because a candy bar would have been the better choice.
I don’t think it’s going to do that great. The edgy losers of the early 00’s who emulated this game are in their 40’s now and if they’re still edgy, they probably have loser gooner kids too and who wants to play with that? Nobody who is sane.
