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.

Every single game is gonna get pirated (except online-only games maybe), be it PC or console. So the whole piracy thing is not a valid excuse anymore.

@Kyokamaru @LADIES_MAN_2013 You're not the only one. Though if you do like it, then you owe it to yourself to buy the game afterwards...

I hope they were planning on releasing it on PC after 6-8 months like previous GTA's but because of this petty petition decide to never release it to PC.

@Jcray21 most PC gamers know that there will be GTA5 for PC and don't bother signing it, but some people are just too stupid and only bitc*es and moans and cries and.... Like there are no other games out there.

Some people need lives. It'll be released on PC eventually...if not, oh well, get a console and play it on that if you want it so bad.

@mario1028 I'm getting it on PS3. I still want it on PC though, I'll take 1080p at 60fps any day over 720p 30fps.

Why would I "need I life" because I want the PC version?

@Dezuria @mario1028 If you want a PC version, fine. But, I don't think it rises to the level of a petition, though, especially when odds are that version will be released eventually anyway.

lol I say just buy the console version if you're desperate for it. If you can stand to wait then wait for the pc version. Otherwise buy the console version.

I mean you guys spend 1800$ on graphics cards I don't see why you wouldn't spend 150$ on a console and a game.

@bunchanumbers

I have a PS3 here and a gaming rig and i don't really picture myself playing it on it.Come on those devices are like almost 7 years old.The last console game i bought was Dark souls and the game was literally choking the console.Better wait for the PS4 if that's the only way.But i prefer to play on a more versatile(you can customize your gaming experience ranging from controls,sounds and visuals on PC) and more powerful device.

@bunchanumbers Actually you can spend about $800 and build a PC that is comparable to the PS4 and Xbox One.

@bunchanumbers I refuse to play at less than 720p, makes my eyes hurt. I was in love with the last of us, but couldnt play because my eyes would hurt after a while. I sold my ps3 then. I had it for 1-2months not more.

I play every day for hours straight on my pc and that doesnt happen. Thats why

@Anigmar Signatures won't do that though will they? Intent to play it if it exists doesn't automatically mean intent to buy and not torrent.

@Anigmar

I think they know sales would be good, they just wait with the PC version to create more blast and make us buy the 360/PS3 version instead of downloading the SKIDROW or RELOADED pirated version which a lot of us probably would do. There are of course piracy on the consoles as well, but not that common I reckon.

@valium88 I don't pirate games and don't get the point of doing so. Test the game? Yeah, right. Too expensive? Games are a luxury, not food&water.

@Anigmar @valium88 usually I try and buy. Like if I know that I will like the game like BF4 I'll pre order.

but if its a game like aliens colonial marines or wtv. Ill test it first. In the case of aliens it sucked so I didnt waste 50€ on a game that the company said "its this" and then it was nothing they ever said

@valium88 It's so they can get PC gamers to buy it on the consoles and then buy it again when the PC version comes out.

yeah and people already have released the pirate versions for consoles. If that was the point.

Every GTA came out on pc its kinda bad that you can't play and they won't give us a plausible explaination/argument.

@Gle4se Every GTA on PC (except GTA 1+2) was also announced and then released on PC some months after the console releases.

@Gamerno6666 With the latest patch, it's quite decent actually. As long as you have decent hardware, that is.

@Gamerno6666 that port was bad.It looked and ran more like something emulated rather than an actual game made for the platform.

@Gamerno6666

It was bad because they were using the rage and euphoria engine for the first time on PC. They have experience with Max Payne 3 now. So GTA V is bound to be more optimized.
