I’m confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

    I bet its because console players are far more likely to dump their life savings into Shark Cards 2.0 in massive fits of hysterical FOMO, than PC players are.

      Is this type of comment helpful for you? Are people supposed to follow-up with some comment about PC players are sheep and will be buy the game for consoles and then buy it PC when it releases there?

      This platform war nonsense is tiring.

        GTA5 PC players usually play on modded servers that don’t use shark cards. I think that’s what they meant.

              Yes, my post was hyperbole, I should have been more accurate.

              You didn’t address the topic though, are you just here to score points?

                “Hyperbole” is just a euphemism for strawman. No one said PC players don’t buy shark cards. You made their argument look ridiculous by misrepresenting what they said. That isn’t a good faith argument to begin with.

                  …isn’t an example what I would consider a “good faith argument” to begin with, but I do apologize if my responses come off as blunt.

            I never said they didnt. But PC can be modded and exploited much easier than consoles can, Which can impact their sales of blatant bullshit ripoff micro transactions.

              Can impact, but likely not a huge one. Just like how most people playing Skyrim are playing without mods, most people playing GTA games aren’t going to bother with mods and modded servers.

                Doubt.

                Edit to expand: I honestly don’t think I would’ve played it if it wasn’t for mods. The interface is so blatantly consoley and clunky that every action takes way more effort than it needs to.

        my friend, you need to have a nice refreshing bowl of chill the fuck out.

        Cause you are literally just inventing narratives to be pissed about.
