It's so interesting to me that as a PC gamer, they chose to just .. not let me buy the game. It's not even an option, for any price. I'd have to wait multiple years for them to decide to go for another cash grab and do a PC release. No thanks, I just won't play.
I've never understood this. For most games by the time they release on PC the hype has died down and they get a tiny fraction of the sales they would have gotten with a simultaneous release.
Rockstar was very open as to why: PC players are a fraction of a fraction of their income. Xbox One players (yes, the previous gen) give them more money than PC players for GTA Online.
But isn't that also a result of them always releasing their games much later than on console? PC gaming has been on the rise.
The PC release was two years after consoles. Anyone who really wanted to play the game already had their opportunity.
Yep - I am a heavy pc gamer but I much prefer GTA on my PlayStation
What's the difference? I always play on pc with my Xbox controller and it's the same as on a console.
I could imagine PC gamers are less interested in online and the whole shark card thing though. IMO that's really damaged the GTA experience.
I think the difference is phycological. I am way more relaxed infront of a TV. It is like a different mood.
Ah but you can do that too with moonlight :)
Though I rarely game on the TV, for me it's uncomfortable.
You can also connect a general purpose computer to that TV?
Unlike consoles, general purpose computers are designed to be operated with a keyboard and mouse, not a controller. Yes, you can use steam in big picture mode, but you still have to launch it.
Didn’t Valve spend a lot of time and money to get the Steam Machine to turn on by using the controller? They had to do some magic with HDMI CEC.
