With the coming ofGTA VI, there are a large portion of fans who will be left out in the cold, rather than walking the sunny streets of Vice City.
Why? BecauseRockstar Gamesdoesn’t prioritise PC over consoles, or even with the same parity.
The latest trailer forGTA Onlinefeatures a littleGTA VIeaster egg.
There’s myriad reasons behind this; consoles have always been a frontrunner for the company since the earlyPlayStationdays, and PCs are notoriously tougher to develop for due to the vast variety of hardware.

Regardless,GTA VIwon’t be releasing for PC on the same day as consoles. It could be a couple of years after and a large portion of the fanbase is gutted about this.
On Reddit, fans are upset and frustrated.
“Rockstar wants people to double dip,”saysdomZ1026.

The theory goes that anyone desperate enough to play will buy a console, or use their console to play the game, then buy a second copy when PC finally get’s a chance to shine.
The folks of Reddit are strong in their belief that Rockstar Games could optimise faster if they wanted to.
Others agree,saying, “Delayed release is pure and only marketing.”

To a degree, both camps are right. Rockstar Games and Take-Two are businesses that earn revenue, so delaying is the same business sense as releasing new ‘lite’ and ‘pro’ consoles.
However, with everyone’s PC running multiple components from different manufacturers, it can be harder to get things right in such a vast game.
Either way, PC players lose out on the initial excitement, and that’s sad for everyone.
