FEATURE: ROCKSTAR, LADS, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
JANUARY 13, 2015 CHRIS 33 COMMENTS
Rockstar’s sublime GTA V released back in 2013 to critical acclaim on the PS3 and Xbox 360, all the while PC players sat and twiddled their thumbs, waiting anxiously for Rockstar to announce a release date for the growing platform.
Rockstar eventually confirmed a PC release and even set a date for the occasion – January 27th.
Today Rockstar announced that GTA V for the PC won’t be coming out on its intended release date, but will instead be releasing on March 24th. This comes just days after the developer stated that GTA V is still on track to release on time.
What the hell? Seriously. What is going on with Rockstar? Why the blatant deceit?
The reason given for the delay was to make sure that the game is up to snuff and that the coming weeks would see the game receive some extra polish to ensure all is well for PC players come release day.
Our question is: Why lie? Just three days ago the developer assured fans that there’s no delay, yet today we find out otherwise. Something smells fishy. Surely the developer would have known ahead of time that the game wouldn’t be releasing and they’ve carefully chosen their time to announce the delay – today would have been the deadline for Rockstar to announce the system requirements, as stipulated by consumer law.
Whilst they did hand out the system requirements, it’s still leaving a sour taste. Over a year to port a game to the PC is a bit of a shamble, especially when you consider they’ve managed to port it to not one, but two consoles in that same time period, both of which are consoles that share similar architecture to PC’s.
Of course, there is the argument that they could have released the game on January 27th with whatever bugs are still present, though the flak from the PC gaming community would have been severe, especially after the disastrous launch of GTA IV on the PC.
Is there an ulterior motive behind this delay? Is it to boost their end of year earnings? That’s not our place to speculate, but if the true reason is anything other than what they claim, players who pre-ordered the game with the understanding that they’d be running around Los Santos before the end of the month have every right to feel aggrieved.
It’s not just PC players who have a right to be annoyed with the veteran developers, console gamers have also been fed false promises. Remember online heists? Chances are you’ve lost interest and hope of them ever releasing as they’ve also taken well over a year come to fruition. Rockstar has since promised that online heists will be arriving in the “coming weeks” for console players whilst PC players will be able to participate from day one.
It’s a poor show from Rockstar, one of the most trusted developers in the industry. They’ll have to do a lot to win back the support of the fickle ‘Master Race.’
Annoyed at the delay? Will you cave in and buy it on console instead? Or has your interest in a game that’s been out for over a year waned a little thin? Let us know down below.

Wa wa wa cry us a river, you wanted to wait to get the best version. So now you can wait another 3 months. R* delivered to their Base (Consoles). PC is just scraping the bottom of the bucket. They have so much more to configure for and not to mention all the lame hackers they will have to deal with

Agreed, whining about something isn't news and only makes you look like an immature twit. RockStar is notorious for delays they aren't just picking on you PC guys. Grow the eff up!

I've had it with Rockstar. Too many games this year to put up with this junk. I'll buy this game when it's on sale if I'm feeling generous.- Obi Alfred
I am sure the RockStar community will fly their flags at half staff with this news.
LOL

I was intending on buying this game, but now I definitely won't. Maybe I won't even play it at all. Reason? I don't want to be an idiot and wait for a game that was released over a year ago on consoles. They had all the time in this world to "polish" it for PC, yet they still treat us PC community like dog shyt on their shoes. If it had extra content for single player or something like that I would've bought it, but since it won't have that... Cockstar did it again! Money-hungry a$$holes.- @Mickey
RockStar is first and foremost a console developer. They don't make that a big secret. RockStar delays stuff all the time. They aren't picking on PC guys.
RockStar makes big ambitious games, of course they are interested in revenues, they have to be. People don't volunteer to make games you know. It's a for-profit enterprise and games would suck if there wasn't any profit in it.

PC gaming is over 40% of the industry. Quit trolling.
Obi Alfred
If PC gaming is 40% of the industry how is it that Diablo III did 12 million in sales while GTA 5 did 19 million in sales on the PS3 alone? Xbox 360 pulled in another 15 million.
Feel free to verify these stats, I can't find any verification for your 40% number and these sales

but but but we get to buy 5 year old games you guys already played and beaten 5 years ago for $5 on steam
It was all good three days ago.
Something is definitely up with the release. I anticipate GTA IV again.
I might just pick this up on my ps4 tomorrow. My friends and bro have it on that anyway. I'll get this for cheap in the summer or fall sale. Rockstar doesn't give a shyt about the pc community anyway.

by the time this drops we'll have The Order 1886, Bloodborne, and BF Hardline
2 of the 3 games you listed will be flops and BF Hardline comes out for PC the same day Games usually go on sale on PC before they actually come out. I fully expect to see GTA 5 for around $39.99 the week it releases or so and $25 or so by Summerbut but but we get to buy 5 year old games you guys already played and beaten 5 years ago for $5 on steam
console peasants showing they dumbness again
1 1/2 years later, a couple million units sold
theres more people who signed on to play league of legends today than people who bought PS4 + xbox1 today combined

I just feel sorry for folks who've been waiting 2 years to play this game when everyone else was eating years ago
I couldn't imagine waiting that long
Imagine not being able to play MGS: Phantom Pain until 2017 or sum shyt when everyone else will be enjoying it later this year

I know it comes out the same day thats the whole point of my post. theres gonna be so many new games coming out by the time GTA 5 (which is a 2013 release) hits PC. Rockstar should just scrap the PC release altogether. sales for that shyt will be horrible

At one point I really wanted to buy this for PC, was gonna be legit and everything, but now.. torrent only
