    Rockstar is a joke.

    I love the GTA series, but they're forgetting where they started and betraying the market that first got them into the business.

    I can't remember where, or when it was exactly, but one of the head devs stated they had no plans now or in the future to release the game on PC. I don't think it will be coming any time soon.

    I'm not much of a FPS guy, and more GTA/Final Fantasy. And it's just bloody frustrating to see these great games get ignored on the PC. FFS, I just don't enjoy a game on the PS/XBox as much as on a PC, right in front of me.

    Regardless of were they got their start the market has shifted, and the bulk of their consumers are casual gamers, who buy GTA just to mess around in it. They probably weighed how much they made from gta 4 , and also concidered how much work they did on the pc version and how many complaints of it being slow and sluggish and if putting another game on the platform was worth it, my guess is it probably wasn't singest L.A. Noire is a console exlusive. Also I wonder how much it was pirated on pc vs the amount it was pirated on consoles? And just saying no one owes pc gaming anything, its a business, and they are in it to make money, so they make decision they feel will make the company more money in the end.
