    If you weren’t 100% certain that GTA6 would release as a console exclusive at launch initially, you’re an idiot. This is how Rockstar has launched every game since the Xbox 360. Furthermore, I can assure you the PC release will come about a year later, and will be the buggiest mess ever launched for the first month.

      RDR2 pc release was 13 months later and GTA5 pc release 17 months later. I wouldn’t be surprised if it takes at least 2 years with GTA6.

      Well, my initial reaction was “What year is it?”. As far as I’m aware, this practice has largely fallen out of favor in the industry. And it’s been more than a decade since the last GTA release, so their stance might have changed in a similar vein, or at least their management would have likely changed.

      And NOTHING HAS CHANGED in twenty years - yeah? Not a fucking thing that should shift how they release games. Consoles are still sooo different from PCs, with their AMD x64 CPUs and AMD RDNA GPUs.
