So it's been almost a year since the release of GTA: V.... For PS3 and Xbox 360. There's been much speculation but it doesn't seem at this point that GTA: V will EVER be released for PC. I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed that PC gamers keep being treated like second-class citizens by game companies. We are being treated like dirt. They might as well put a big yellow star of david on our chests and let us walk in the gutter. Because that is EXACTLY how I feel. I feel betrayed. By the one company that I still had respect for. But R* had to jump the trend of leaving PC gamers out like everyone else. They even go so far as not saying that there will be no PC version leaving people with false hope. Well R* I hope you know who made you big in the first place, yes, your TRUE fans the PC gamers! I won't be buing any more titles from R*. That ship has sailed, bro, to the ends of the world.... Broski! What is the world coming to? I mean really... These are truly the dark ages of gaming. I wouldn't be surprised if PC gaming is dead all together in say 10-15 years or so. It starts with titles originally made for PC being made to PS/Xbox first and THEN being ported to PC (Bethesda I see you!) which I don't like but am OK with, then the last couple years PC titles are being more and more left out completely. SMH.

I'm sorry I just had to vent. I guess I should add some discussion value to this. What do you guys think? Do you think Rock Star is justified in what they are doing? Right, wrong, don't care? I want to mention I don't know with 100% certainty that there will be no PC title, but I'm pretty sure we would have known by now if there would be one. If there will be one I'll have to rethink every thing I just said. But what ever. Where do you think PC gaming is headed in general?

Shoot.

R* was my significant other....

PC doesn't need GTA V, because there would be modders on the console and would cause madness similar to Rockstar taking away free roam in the GTA IV online. M'aiq does not want Rocksar to take away GTA V Online.

Never cared for online features, for me GTA is a single player game.

And you are right in M'aiq's opinion. He does not want any modders in the console for those who play online features.

So, R* spared you from a buggy mess?

M'aiq found this quite hilarious..

I have never experienced many/severe bugs with the PC titles. Not more than any other PC games at least!

I don't want to live in a world where all games are on all platforms, or PC has everything consoles have. To me, that absolutely defeats the purpose of getting specific platforms in the first place. If you ask me, exclusivity should be more common, not the other way around. I do not care that you can achieve higher visuals and add mods on PC, because I think a game having its own special place that not everybody wants to go or can go makes the industry more varied and interesting. It gives each platform its own set of reasons to have, not just this stupid black and white decision between having less power or having more power, or having better connection or worse connection, or having the less glitchy version of the game. And I might add that things like glitches and connection and performance problems are often a direct freakin' result of being shoved onto every platform in the first place.

Betrayed would imply that they went back on their word about something; I didn't think there ever was a plan for GTA 5 to be on PC.

It is very much a betrayal, considering previous titles were made for PC. The original games were even made for PC first!!

Then they should stick to PC and not do the console jumping everyone else seem to be doing. The point is that there will be no more PC games at all in the future if this keeps going on!

Sorry for the double post.

The PC gets much more than consoles (Mods).

Now you're just being silly. Have a look through the Steam store. Go through every single category. Check those release dates. Look at those deals. Look at the sales statistics. PC gaming isn't going to die because Rockstar doesn't particularly care for the platform. "Everyone else", from what I'm seeing, is not just jumping to consoles; rather, they're porting everything onto multiple platforms, and PC is often included.

There have to be some games for consoles only or no one would buy consoles. PCs are often more powerful and with better graphics, the games can be better-programmed due to access to languages like Java (for minor aspects), and the computer is infinitely more versatile than the console. Controls can also be much more precise, particularly with a mouse. PCs have modding too. Also, anyone who's just getting into gaming is much more likely to already have a PC than a console, which they'll presumably stick with for familiarity and the lack of a need to buy a console.

So, the console has to have some advantage in order to ward off obsoleteness.

And how the hell is PC gaming going to be obsolete? I can play a better (modded), better coded, better looking game (with thousands available) on a device which has a more powerful processor and superior graphics capabilities, and presumably better RAM as well.

The more reason it should be made for PC. I'm not console bashing, I just hate this exclusivity, and leaving the whole PC community out.

Which is why M'aiq thinks the PC does not deserve GTA V. All they do is rant.

Red Dead Redemption didn't come out for PC either.

Exclusivity... against PCs? Yeah, right. Show me the console that has an Intel i7-4960X 4.1GHz six-core processor, dual NVIDIA GTX 780Ti GPUs and 32GB of 1600MHz RAM (that's not mine, just the general possibilities) and you can talk about exclusivity. Because with a good gaming PC, the vast array of games which are available can be played faster and with better graphics. And who cares if you can't play one game? There are thousands out there.

Nobody had a problem with console exclusives in the past..I've never met a single person who felt that Chrono Trigger should have been released on Windows freakin' 95. Why is everyone complaining now? Because advanced graphics technology has, IMO, spoiled everybody rotten and many have forgotten that games aren't supposed to be half game, half tech demo.

Rockstar is most likely going to port RDR to PC soon.

*Checks steam store* "Child of light", "Starbound", "Magic 2014", "Lili - Child of Geos". Yeah sounds like fun...

I know, that is a troubling sign.

If it makes you feel better, Valve likes PC better than Console..
