LOS ANGELES — After years of anticipation, the long-awaited PC version of GTA V could soon be cancelled, according to a Rockstar employee.

During the interview, Rantic Chairman John Hoffberger, stated that the PC version of GTA 5 could soon be cancelled due to ‘corporate problems’. “The next-gen console launch dates are still intact, but the PC game launch has been agitating for Rockstar staff”, John said.

John also stated,”Rockstar never wanted to release a PC version of GTA V, but due to high public demand, they were forced to do so.”...More at the link.

Lock if old

 

[blastprocessor]

Is this news to generate hype before the launch?

 

[Queen of Hunting]

well thats there loss of even more sales.

more like its cancelled until many more people buy the ps4/one versions then pc version after milk that shit baby

 

[Kyoufu]

I'm confused. Due to high public demand for a PC version, they're going to cancel it? lol.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

They must've been scared off by the losses they took from bringing red dead redemption to PC.

 

[Piers]

Rockstar is giving this shit up.

 

[KojiKnight]

If this is true, Fuck Rockstar.

 

[Loris146]

Ahahahahahahahaahahahahaha

 

[Zombie James]

Oh boy.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

FFS, Hope this isn't true.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Well, a bullshit story like this is one way to get Rockstar to give a firm release date.

 

[Betta Lines]

"Rockstar never wanted to release a PC version of GTA V"

This is absolute bullshit.

 

[Jonnax]

Is this rumours upon rumours? The article links as if it was fact that the game got delayed until 2015 but their source also states that it's a hearsay rumour.

 

[Frolow]

No way.

 

[symphonask]

If this is true, Fuck Rockstar.

.

 

[danthefan]

Someone please explain to me why they wouldn't want to release a PC version? I just don't understand.

[KINGofCRA5H]

FoxWeekly??

 

[Geek]

What's that thing they say about headlines that end in a question mark?

 

[Kacho]

What? I call bullshit.

 

[Tenki]

"Hey guys, the PC version is sadly cancelled, please buy the console edition for $60"

Six monts later.

"Hey guys, the PC version is alive! Please buy it again, now on your PC"

 

[blastprocessor]

In b4 console master race

 

[Silky]

OH SHIT.

OH SHIT.

 

[civilstrife]

Well, no need to jump to conclusions, but if true:

AAAAaAaAAAAaaaAAAaaaarrrrrregggghh

 

[BeforeU]

 

[Draper]

Mods undermine their artistic vision so it's understandable.

 

[Amir0x]

No no. Fuck off Rockstar I swear to fucking God. Shit better be false.

 

[Hellraider]

Viral marketing?

 

[NateDrake]

That site has tons of information wrong so I doubt the validity of this story. One, they say Rockstar announced GTA 5 was delayed until 2015 for PS4, X1, and PC - this hasn't happened. Two, they link to a website that doesn't exist.

Either this is viral marketing or it's bullshit.

 

[Strazyplus]

They must've been scared off by the losses they took from bringing red dead redemption to PC.

You... You made me look for it .... you prick!

 

[Freeman]

This would be so funny its almost worth it to not get the game on PC just to see what would happen (I still want it on PC, hopefully a decent port this time).

 

[Isotope]

I'm just finding out that the PS4/XB1 version of GTA V is delayed to 2015.

When did Rockstar say this?

 

[Kacho]

That article makes no sense. Also a trash site.

 

[Fox_Mulder]

I hope it's true only to see neogaf burn

 

[Black Mantis]

I'm confused. Due to high public demand for a PC version, they're going to cancel it? lol.

Sounds like Take Two insisted they make a PC version, but they never wanted to. I can see how that piss them off.

 

[CurseoftheGods]

I don't think developers make that much money off of PC games so more power to Rockstar.

 

[FourMyle]

Please be wrong. I really want GTAV on my PC

 

[StoopKid]

 

[Mysterious]

Rockstar: We already have so much money, we don't need anymore.

 

[maquiladora]

dafuq

 

[FACE]

"Guys, there's a ton of demand for a PC version of GTA5, but we don't wanna work on it. Let's cancel it!"

I wonder if this would really fly with the chairpeople.

 

[Omikron]

I could believe a rumour that is the PC version is being delayed for the current gen releases. But not cancelled.

 

[Alienous]

Someone please explain to me why they wouldn't want to release a PC version? I just don't understand.

Perhaps because it will hands down be the most pirated game of all time? That, and it takes a lot of additional work.

 

[Drilbit777]

Hopefully its not cancelled on PC, I want to see all those mods.

 

[Amir0x]

That site has tons of information wrong so I doubt the validity of this story. One, they say Rockstar announced GTA 5 was delayed until 2015 for PS4, X1, and PC - this hasn't happened. Two, they link to a website that doesn't exist.

Yeah, seems smart to be skeptical.

 

[Linkark07]

Well, if Rockstar wants to lose money from the PC crowd, that's ok.

Spoiler

That is a lie. Everything is a lie.

 

[MMarston]

 

[Recall]

Rockstar have always disliked PC ports, optimisation for a platform with so many variables has been mentioned as a big issue.

 

[Dany]

I don't know why this is so humorous for me. They're making the PC game but its not being released because of corp. decisions?

Just wow.

 

[friskykillface]

well thats there loss of even more sales.

more like its cancelled until many more people buy the ps4/one versions then pc version after milk that shit baby

That's my stance as well, will probably release months after Xbox one/PS4

Lots of people own a last gen, new gen and PC so release each version at different times

Rockstar wants infinite $$$$$$
