    GTA VI isn’t being released on PC until probably a year after console. I don’t own any xbox or other locked down platform, so don’t pay attention to it, so you definitely have a chance to make a sale to those like me who don’t pay attention to console releases.

      GTA VI you mean?

      Also unfortunately Windows is getting more locked down all the time, with newfangled things like kernel-level DRM and such.

      Still way better than the consoles, though, so keep up the good fight.

        Oops corrected. Also i’m on linux, so haven’t noticed or cared about Windows issues. Don’t play games with anti-cheat either.

          Same. Made the switch to mint a couple months ago. It’s got a few quirks but it’s way better than windows.

    Why not? I still remember there was a Hot Wheels game released on the same day of GTA V and that was 12 years ago. Seems like free advertising to me.

    Sit down, Wannabe Microsoft Jr. I haven’t forgotten all you’ve consumed and erased.

        Their shit dropped 89% and then they gut a bunch of studios and shut down others. This was like a year or two ago.

          Yeah, that’s what you do when your sales are shot, you downsize. I can’t be mad at them shuttering studios that they literally can’t afford to keep open, what else are they expected to do?

          I have an issue with it when companies report record profits and then cut everyone, Devolver didn’t do this.

            Or we just dont gobble up studios like a digital Jormungandr. Publishers have slaughtered studios like cattle in recent years. Its devastating to see and experience.
