What is annoying as hell is Rockstar not getting with the times and acknowledging PC as a viable option existing in the gaming space.
Microsoft is pivoting towards it entirely and and Sony is leaning on it.
It's a double dipping technique.
First all players are hyped for GTA6, some even buying a console to experience it on launch day.
Then the PC release get's out 1-2 years later and everyone with a capable rig know it will run better there and buy it again.
Assuming it will be a 80€ game, they now made 160€ in revenue instead of 80.
Again, it's coming to PC. Every GTA game comes to PC eventually. Rockstar purposely waits 6+ months to announce the PC version, because they know people like you will double dip. It happens every single time, and you keep falling for it.
I'm not saying that Rockstar is in the right for doing it this way, but they keep doing it cause you keep forgetting that they do this every time. The downvotes prove it; none of y'all ever learn. That's why I'm so annoyed.
What part of "I'm not buying it twice this time" did you not understand?
