No idea, here's the petition: https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/rockstar-games-dont-make-a-pc-version-of-gta-v

 

It made the rounds on some websites a while back. Doesn't look like it gained much traction from anything other than trolls though :).

 

And their reasoning is hilarious. 

 

"So PC Gamers learn their lesson and stop stealing games"

 

Console games are pirated just as much as pc games.

It's been getting harder and harder to pirate console games though.  On the PC it's as easy as it's ever been, heck steam makes it easier.

Not even slightly close.

nice. i'm sure i'll never get around to playing it, but glad to see it's coming out on PC.

 

I skipped GTA4 but I might give 5 a go, at least you know the scale of things and that you'll get a lot of gameplay out of it unless you get bored quick, heh. 

 

It's also why I still play the Assassins Creed games, I know I'll get at least 40-50hrs worth from them and not some quick little 12hr thing.

Already finished it on 360 last year and haven't touched it since. The story was good up to the last hour or so. GTA IV was a lot better in that regard.

 

Still, I'll probably buy a complete edition one day on PC, when it's on sale for the DLC.

This means I will need to recall my rocktar ***holes club username though.

Horrible multi login 'social' clubs - it is bad enough to have Steam as a requirement for games.

That generalization. Yes all of us PC gamers never pay for games and pirate them, that's why my Steam collection has over 200 games and I have around 50 to 100 retail games sitting in a couple boxes here at home. So punish us all because of the actions of some. Thanks to digital distribution, Steam etc.. PC gaming is more popular than it would've been and selling on Steam alone not accounting for other platforms is bound to generate a decent chunk of sales.

this also implies piracy has a meaningful effect on sales. Which it has been shown to not.

Seeing as GFWL is finally on its way out, it'll probably use Steamworks this time around. I forgot about Social Club though. Wonder if they'll let you sign in using your Steam account like with other games.

hate to admit it but i have no faith that GTA V for PC will be any better optimized for PC than IV was. 

 

That'd be fine by me.  I'd been playing GTA IV for months on my i7 (now rather ancient) before I was even made aware, by reading some message boards, that it was poorly optimized.  Even back then I hadn't been playing games in years, so I was playing it with some very average video card (can't remember which I was using at the time), and it was smooth as glass through and through.

 

Now that I think about it...GTA IV is the last game I bought/played since, well, GTA IV.  I'll definitely be getting V.

Well, yes and no, if referring to the ps3 version, you didn't HAVE to have it, or sign into it (if I recall)

I know I could both campaign and online without ever signing in (there is an option to do so) on the ps3 version, I used to sign in due to needing to manage my crew(guild/clan, call it whatever :) )

Was talking about the PC version, but informative nonetheless :)

GTA V was around 40 hours if you just did the story and most of the activities, i was at like 60 or 70 percent complete with almost 40 hours played.

Same here, not double dunking or dipping etc. for me, will wait until it's $10 on Steam in a couple of years buhahahaha. And agree GTA IV had a much better story to my tastes. Relatable characters, a more sombre tone...GTA V went away from that, but was still very good.
