Hahahaha! Good comeback!JakobBloch said:Obvious mudslinging counter argument: Stop buying used games.
But seriously why are we bothering with a petition created by trolls ignoring the fact that GTA has already been pirated ?

Assuming you take the petition seriously.erttheking said:WOW! That is just a major dick move. I mean...wow! I'm just glad that the Pro-PC camp outnumbers the anti-PC camp 35:1. That...wow. As a console gamer, this disgusts me.
But piracy on consoles is lower. Piracy on PCs is 47,000,000,000%! Consoles only get what? A million bans each year for this? Advantage, console.Xan Krieger said:So it's anti-piracy but GTA V was leaked on consoles.
No way it's serious, just flamebaiting.
Exclusives aren't piracy, which is what the petition has an issue with (and the article covers that). As piracy is at 28,000,000,000,00,000% and rising, you can see their concern. Rockstar nearly went bankrupt from porting GTA IV, and not a single person paid for it[footnote]I hope to God I've made this absurd enough nobody takes it seriously, but this is the internet, so I'm adding this disclaimer[/footnote].Jamous said:I literally don't understand the thought that goes into that. Like how do you come to that conclusion? Stop stealing games? Piracy aside, Consoles have exclusives too, which I would argue are more 'stealing' than making something available on MORE platforms...
Well, there's Red Dead Redemption. It's one of Rockstar's greatest games and we never saw it on PC. I've never really heard a great explanation why. It would have been guarenteed to make money.rofltehcat said:It is just flamebait. The petition to also port it to the PC is nice but they'd have ported it there anyways.
They have done it time and time again: Release on consoles, then focus on a (good) PC port.
I think this is a better policy than doing a half-assed port.
Of course it does! How can you pirate a game for an Xbox, without downloading files onto your PC? Huh?! Case closed!Longstreet said:So that's why the console version of GTA V got leaked four days early, because PC gamers pirate.
Well that explains everything!
GTA IV's PC port was atrocious until the community fixed it. RDR never came to PC at all.rofltehcat said:They have done it time and time again: Release on consoles, then focus on a (good) PC port.
Probably need to add another 1 and two 0's in front of that.Zachary Amaranth said:Objective figures? Piracy is near 2,000,000% We have data from such objective sources as CD PRojekt already!

Also, have you seen the petition? There's a lot of "signatures" from people who signed to ask for a PC release or to flame console gamers.
