1. You get the double-dip sales
2. You only have to optimize the game to run on a couple of specific specs.
3. No piracy
4. No mods
>>
>>738248542
No modding, so they'll squeeze every $ from console goys, by selling shark cards to buy shit in single player and then multiplayer. Also, they'll inevitably do an enhanced edition for new gen, so no need to try to make this version work on PC.

it's just piracy.

>>738250415
This. It's just because you can pirate it easily, so they intentionally just delay the PC version. Plus as another anon said people will double dip.
>>
>>738248542
I'm glad this will finally ignite the spark for this board to turn against Rockdrones.
What is bold about what they've said is that they're basically admitting that every time they released on console first that it had nothing to do with perfection or the refining of the PC version of their ports or that the PC version was the the meat and bones of the console versions. Which is a marketing line they used back on GTA V. Its an admission that they are just playing mind games with PC gamers as a whole and are guilty of every time people said that they were double dipping.
It's beyond greedy. Take Two and Rockstar games are pure evil. Lets not forget that R*games screwed PC gamers out of RDR1 too back in the day. Half arsed the IV port etc.

Rockstar were always an evil company and that was when Dan Houser and Sam Houser was still largely in control of everything happening at the company. Take Two were never forcing their hand on anything back in those days.

You new? This board will cry daily about how it's console exclusive til it's finally ported and then say "thanks for beta testing" from then onward

Why are Mustards mad at this? GTA's core audience really is consolefags, PC players are only a fraction of GTA's sales.

>piracy
No honest to god game developer is having cold sweats about droves of pirates downloading and cracking their game without paying
NONE
Majority of people don't know how to pirate and even if they did there aren't enough of them actually doing it en masse to make a sizable dent in their pockets
Publishers complaining about piracy are like Jews whining about the holocaust.
>>
>>738250487
There has never been a single game studio that went out of business on piracy alone

Rockstar does this every single release going back to GTA III 25 years ago.

The reason rockstar gets away with this is because you neckbeards will have FOMO and will buy the console and PC ports of GTA 6
>>
Grand Theft Auto VI is a fake game

Rockstar are NOT developing a game called "Grand Theft Auto VI"

They have realized that the money they would save from NOT developing a new game can go towards perpetually marketing it

Meanwhile they are drawing attention to GTA 5 online and the billions of dollars in revenue they are generating from microtransactions

Simply put, GTA is an old model of video gaming that is no longer cost effective

Meaning real gamers who can appreciate older titles that didn't rely on mods or loot crates to be fun. Meaning out of the gate GTA will cater to the older crowd of casual gamers that grew up with the title. Meaning we also didn't need faggot cat ear headphones and pussy gaming chairs to whoop your ass in Tekken or Smash Bros.

no as in the the same blacks and hispanics that only shop at your local ghetto corner store buying hot cheetos and swisher sweet blunts

Yeah pretty much partners in crime.
They were criminals before Take Two controlled the most stake in the company and became mega criminals when they got involved. Something that has been quietly forgotten about to make the actual company itself look innocent nowadays and hostage to corporate demands.

>>738251875
Small Single player games worry about. Theres a notable difference in sales when they use denuvo (within the first 3 months). Then it tails off where it's more beneficial to get rid of denuvo
>>
>>738252609
so, blacks and hispanics are the only demographic who have money?
that's a weird cope, pcjeet

Ah yes, devs/publisher hire denuvo for encrypting just for fun. Has nothing to do with being scarred shirtless of pirates. Denuvo now trying to close the hypervisor hole is also just done out of boredom. Very good point, rabbi.
>>
Forcing game onto a limited market to roleplay scarcity as a shallow excuse to price hike. Then when it comes to PC it will be the exact same price and no public reasoning will be given, because the initial price hike was nothing but a way to convince your retarded asses to buy an overshot game. It will be a buggy mess on all platforms, and if not: it will still be degenerate propaganda through and through, and most likely ripping off some old TV show or movie or book just like their last 20 games. Fuck this jew.

>>738253683
pc has piracy
they know an absolute shitton of people will buy a ps5 just to play gta 6, and then they'll buy it again when it does come out on pc
the pc version will probably be released alongside the ps6 version, which means they can charge even more

and this is why I don't bother buying this shit until its on PC and on sale - you treat us like crap and then dare to fuck everything up with shark card profiteering, no matter how good the single player experience is its not worth enabling that garbage for full price.

I still haven't forgotten how they seemingly left Red Dead Online to die (has it gotten any content updates in the past several years? Since the first couple after PC launch?) because it didn't instantly make GTAO shark card money and hope everyone at rockstar rots in hell for their fuckups.
>>
>>738254919
How are they ''shells of their former selves'' ?
They are doing just fine if your talking about the big fish and their Jewish mega corporations
If your talking about the indie smallfish the reason they get squashed is because its a nepo baby industry, not because some russian downloaded their track on napster.com
>>
what if the game turns out to just not be very good. I don't mean bad, but just kind of average. That will surely hurt PC sales.

>what if the game turns out to just not be very good. I don't mean bad, but just kind of average. That will surely hurt PC sales.
It will sell extremely well based on lack of competition alone

>>738254919
You think it wasn't easy to pirate back then? Even easier? Hell, people were fucking making mix tapes off the radio or copying VHS you rented.

The music and film industries were just handed a massive technological win and did everything in their power to squash it because they couldn't control it top to bottom like they used to in the 'good ol days'. You can remember the few bands and others who embraced digital distribution long before Apple / iPod / iTunes era, like Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead etc.. who did exceptionally well even giving away their music for free. Piracy was never a real issue back then, it was just scared old dinosaurs afraid of not being able to keep doing what they normally did forever.

Then came the vidya industry. Hell you can hear it now with how Timmy Fortnite whines about the big mean Valve/Steam, yet back in the day every publisher had to deal with MUCH larger cuts than even Valve's largest - and the same amount that every company who made their own launcher instantly adopted from GOG to EA, Ubi, and others except shitheel Epic who tried to push exclusivity. In the old days devs would have kissed the asses of anyone who took just 30% AND they didn't have to worry about boxes/shipping, bribing for shelf space and everything else. That was the time when you made a game and if fucking WalMart claimed they wouldn't sell it because you were too edgy, you went home and changed it because without WalMart sales you were fucking sunk. Fuck these industries that go out of their way to screw over the customer and then claim its everyone else's fault if their stock drops a quarter of a point.
>>
This might be the first Rockstar game that I will have to pay with my own money. I mean, once it comes on PC they will be cracking down on piracy like no tomorrow.
>>
No buying a console for a single game.
I will wait for the PC release, and buy it from CDkeys cheap. Rockstar won't get a penny.
