GTAV PC petition passes 350,000 signatures

Change.org petition calling on Rockstar Games to release open-world game on PC hits new signature milestone.

1065 Comments

The Change.org petition calling on Rockstar Games to release Grand Theft Auto V on PC has surpassed 350,000 signatures. This is up from 200,000 signatures in July.

No Caption Provided

GTAV launches exclusively for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 tomorrow. GameSpot's review hits at 10 a.m. EDT today.

According to Rockstar Games cofounder Dan Houser, a PC version of the open-world game is "up for consideration," though that's all the company has said on the matter.

The petition says it is a "big shame" that GTAV is not announced for the PC, specifically calling out the modding community being a "huge part" of PC gaming. "Modded GTA is some of the most insanely fun times you can have," a line from the petition reads.

A since-removed Rockstar Leeds job advertisement sought a programmer to help bring the company's "latest titles" to PC. This would potentially include GTAV.

The PC iteration of Grand Theft Auto IV launched about eight months after the console versions shipped in April 2008.

Why do you want to play such a lowly console game that's clearly beneath you? Shouldn't you be playing those clickety click clicks that have such amazing graphics and totally not cluttered HUD?

@EdAl2112 What's with the idea that PC games are mouse-based based games cluttered with a HUD?

You wanna see a cluttered HUD? Look at Dark Souls. Holy shit. Meanwhile, PC gamers also have things like Dustforce or Hearthstone.

Also, the UI of Diablo 3 for the console for example is significantly more cluttered than the PC UI.

There is no obvious correlation between input method and UI clutter.

Despite what I think of this game its sad to see this company delay and not embrace other platforms especially the PC which was the first platform and the platform that led to the fame. Personally I dont like the GTA series I think its way too violent and focuses too much on criminals and criminal activity and its games like that kids love the most and society in general seems to embrace sadly haha. I used to like these games until I got the Lord Jesus Christ in my life and now I see games like this for what it is.

Whatever despite what I think its obvious Rockstar is living up to the name and trying to make as much wealth off tis game as possible even if it means purposely stalling thier core audience, heck not even all rockstars are that low but this company clearly is. They want to release the crappy console current gens first and then double or tripple the profit by releasing pc and next gen versions later on. This company is'nt fooling me I pass on these repetitive games. Nothing has changed from the previous and in some areas its not as good as previous.

@MICHAELKNIGHT2K I think the series is vastly overrated, and I agree with the criticisms of its content, but it would seem to limit their sales not to release on PC.

I really want to play this game, but I don't want to buy it twice. R* should allow anyone who bought a PS3 version to exchange it for the PC when it comes out in the future. If not, I'd rather just wait to experience it in higher graphical fidelity.

@mario1028 @ecs33 Why is it entitled attitude to not wanting to buy the same game twice? Entitled attitude would be to actually buy the game on console and then demanding the potential PC version for free.

@mario1028 @ecs33 You're right. I just don't see the point of paying $60 for a license to play a game on 5 year old technology..especially when it's about to be replaced. R* should have waited for the next round of consoles to release this game. They are banking on people to double pay for the game or pay the upgrade fee if there is one once the new technology comes out. I'm not falling for it.

@GSGuy321 @MICHAELKNIGHT2K

yeah the pc version was amazing pal and the story was a bit more moral and logical. Look I admit Rockstar has set the genre for these types of games but when you have games like sleeping dogs and even watch dogs that release on multiple platforms and offer unique story and moral choices this ups the competition and frankly the other companies are smarter to release them on multiple platforms in that case everyone wins. Rockstar is way to hyped and as a company I think they are greedy and obnoxious.

If it was that much of an issue i don't think Steam would be that successful and i don't think Ubisoft and EA would be so hellbent on pushing Origin and Uplay down our throat.Why would there be more than 50 million steam users on a market that isn't viable nor profitable?They need to cut out the excuses now.

Meanwhile they release garbage, but lets not blame it on that.

@Axile11 Because DRM actually does something besides piss off legitimate customers. Spore had absolutely terrible and crippling DRM, yet it was one of the most pirated games ever.
