I only ask SGF to not go down the way E3 did. I mean it's Geoff Keighley, but there's also Amazon.

Ex-Rockstar dev miserably fails at explaining why GTA6 can't come out on PC alongside PS5 & Xbox Series X
Dear devs, if you don't want us to call out on your lies, then please keep your mouth shut. We all know how things work.

Well I wouldn’t expect an animator to know jack shit about ports and optimizing PC performance. He might be getting ahead of himself in the midst of enjoying a boost in popularity from a reaction video.

One thing never mentioned is that while Rockstar is the face of GTA, they still get marching orders from Take 2. Ports have never been a big priority with them. Max Payne 3 was probably the closest to day one, but it was also a very linear game with minimal technical aspects to iron out. Compare that to RDR2 which offered a ton of extra customization options far beyond consoles’ capabilities but was also a bit of a hot mess at launch.
Another consideration is just how unstable some of their past games have been even on console. RDR1 was reportedly hobbled together with duct tape and black magic as it is, which might help explain why it never even got a port. They are also pretty rigid about the exposure of their new games and how they’re perceived; especially higher profile stuff like a new GTA. Once the game’s on PC the cat’s out of the bag in terms of what modders can do.
Odds are it will only be a matter of time for a PC version, but not until after the consoles have run their initial course and the next GTA Online is rolled out.
There's no technical reason Rockstar can give for why a PC version of GTA 6 isn't arriving with the console release
We don't need all the bells and whistles, just the ruddy game, thanks.

Sigh.... They're really trying to create another "Skyrim on everything" case, aren't they? At least it's free for PC (not sure about consoles), and I know I'll be getting this. At least it will be still bettter than Starfield
Are there that many people stanning for Fallout 4?
Well, IIRC FO4 was a relatively successful game, and still seems to have an active community base. I checked the Nexus mods, and Skyrim SE currently has about 60k user mods, while FO4 has 48k. I'm also willing bet once the update gets released, more people will flock towards it for the first time or return after experiencing how disappointing Starfield was.
The sounds of a settlement in need of my help are echoing in my ears again.
There's a mod for that, although I feel if it wasn't for the crappy radiant quest design mods like this aren't even necessary in the first place
Enough About the Settlements Already Preston
Dramatically cuts down on how often Preston notifies you about another settlement that needs help, and stops settlement quests from chaining end-to-end indefinitely

Well, at the very least they're hopefully not going to drag single-player studios into it.
