Petition Launched to Prevent PC Version of GTA V

A petition has been launched at Change.org in the hopes of preventing Rockstar from ever releasing a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. Why? "So PC gamers learn their lesson and stop stealing games."

[CaptainPunch]

What a joke, some people have too much free time on their hands.

[come_bom]

Some people are MORONS. Simple as that.
They don't mind receiving PC exclusives on their platform of choice, but get pissed if the PC receives some exclusives from their platform. Those people deserve a big kick in the @$$.

[adorie]

We live in a world, overflowing with hypocrites, Come_bom.

[SilentNegotiator]

It has 25 signatures. With a goal of a mere 100.

Let us not have a cow.

[PopRocks359]

Doesn't hurt to point out the pointlessly stupid nature of it though. Trolling or not, it's dumb. There really should be a better submission process for petitions like these.

[Withdreday]

With the way the GTAIV port to PC turned out, I wouldn't be shocked if it were PC gamers themselves that started the petition.

Seriously, it's that poorly optimized.

[HelpfulGamer]

PC!

[kevnb]

The PC version of gta iv is my favorite version. It had some launch issues, but rockstar sorted them out. Controls are fine, I actually prefer mouse and keyboard over controller in the game.

[_QQ_]

@withreday but we have mods which makes it that much better than console ver. but that isn't the topic here, someone has to have made a bet and is determined to win it, idk how else this stupidity would be justified.

[Dee_91]

@SilentNegotiator
Agreed but still the fact someone would make this petition is pathetic

[khan_saab]

everytime a pc exclusive gets put on consoles there have been petitions to stop it and so this is no different. i have an epic pc that can handle the best graphic settings but i hate how elitest people act about superior graphical capabilities when it comes to pc versions of games. this is a response to that, simple.

[mikeslemonade]

PC gaming needs to keel over already. Console games is where it's at if the developers just develop for it exclusively.

[Yukicore]

If this petition's only reason is "So that PC Gamers learn their lesson and stop stealing games", then they can shove it up their A$$Holes right away.

I'm sure Rockstar realizes that many of the PC games will be willing to pay for the game so that they can play it's Online Mode and the game has HUGE replay value (That's just obvious), especially with the Online Mode.

[PSWiiKing]

Amen to that, bruddah!

[360ICE]

Agree. As if PC gamers will stop stealing games because of this. It's actually a game worth buying, after all.

[FragMnTagM]

Not all PC gamers steal. There are way more PC's in the world than any other gaming platform around. A pretty small percentage, compared with how many are out there actually steal games.

There aren't a lot of demos on PC, so I will download a game I am interested in to see if I want to buy it. I am not rich and cannot afford everything.

I have nearly 400 games that I have bought with hard earned money.

If I don't like the game that I downloaded, I delete it. If I like it, I buy it and delete the downloaded copy.

That said, who in their right mind would want a pirated version of GTAV? The online portion looks fascinating and I wouldn't want to miss out on that.

Between Steam and Origin, I have around 150 games. On console, I have even more games. A SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, PS2, and an XBOX360.

Not all people who download games are thieves.

I have my 360 version already paid for and will buy the PC version when it comes out too. The mods alone are worth the second purchase, not to mention the graphics upgrade.

[kingduqc]

There is a ton of piracy on consoles too... usually in the top torrents are the 360 version.

AND maybe pc gamer would buy their stupid game if they released good ports on the same day. GTA 4 on pc was trash and it was 6 month late...

[PersonMan]

" If I like it, I buy it and delete the downloaded copy. "

....said NOBODY EVER

[esemce]

Trust me the first version the get 'stolen' will be the Xbox 360 one. Piracy will always exist, it does not kill any industry it's just a fact of life.

[Rageanitus]

I love the steam deals... no need to pirate IMO

[360ICE]

@People
Omg, no one is arguing that all PC gamers steal. Or that console gamers don't. I'm just saying that this won't stop those who do from doing it.

http://www.readingbear.org/

[JD_Shadow]

It's not a matter of piracy behind what this (joke?) petition is about.

He doesn't mean "steal" as in "torrent games you didn't pay for". He's talking from an "entitled" console fanboy that thinks that a port to PC period is "stealing" from the consoles, where he thinks the game should stay exclusive. There's a HUGE difference.

[360ICE]

@darkpower
Well, my comments still work within that context. Yay!

[A1r80rn3]

You really need to work on your syntax. I don't like the implication that I am a thief just because i am a member of "x" community, just as you would dislike it if I said you didn't deserve your opinion because YOU belong to community "y".

Seriously, "As if PC gamers will stop stealing games because of this."? There is only one interpretation of that, it doesn't matter what you think it means.

[lastdual]

What we have here is people getting active about the important issues of our day.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

lol clearly

[SilentNegotiator]

At first your comment made me cock an eyebrow.

But then I saw that you have a Harvey Birdman avatar and I knew you knew what you were doing. And I nodded at your comment as if you could see me.

[SchwoererBear]

thanks for the laugh Harvey Birdman

[pandehz]

This is wayy more important than Syria.

[coinpixels]

Well its midnight and I have some free time now so I might just sign it for a laugh!

[dalibor]

That is stupid to say no offense. Really.. so they learn their lesson? Haha this has to be the most ridiculous thing that has happened. This was probably made by some teenage boys so I say games should only be for people who are 18+ period. The stupidity that has amassed this generation is shameful. If anything PC is the platform that pushes any advancements. People don't even game anymore they just condone other gamers/gaming platform in any possible way. I would love GTA5 to come to PC so I can test it out on my 7970. I feel retarded a bit just by this petition even existing bahaha. People really are that bored my goodness.

[coinpixels]

Calm it LOL, I would love for GTA to come to PC also!

[SilentNegotiator]

@dalibor

Change.org is a den of trolls anyway. One more funny post won't hurt anything.

[starchild]

How much more pathetic can you get? Not you, GamingFeud, just people that think this way.

Fanboys are a plague on gaming. Fanboys are the only ones that care about making stuff exclusive. And the only reason they care is so they can rub it in the faces of other gamers.

[Mr Tretton]

There is just as much console piracy. GTAV will be insanely pirated on console.

And because of the common architecture of the next gen consoles, console piracy will hit an all time high like never before.

Console fanboys (not console players, FANBOYS) are just jealous at hearing PC players talk about how they hope/can't wait for this game to come to PC. Losers.

[Snookies12]

Completely agree! This is crap! I'm buying this for console, but I DEFINITELY want a PC version in the future. Mods are crazy fun with GTA games, this is garbage even though it'll never be taken seriously. -_-

[wannabe gamer]

I say PC gamers start a petition to keep GTA away from consoles since GTA started on PC. harhar sarcasm btw

[fenome]

Haters, plain and simple. Trying to get something not released on something that doesn't even affect you. F*kin joke. I don't even play on pc. But trying to stop something that could ultimately benefit the people that make the game and possibly push it to the next level.. dumb. Userbase, as in anyone that buys the damn game helps the people making the game. They make money they find ways to progress. I've never played games on PC, never will, so this doesn't affect me outright it just pisses me off. Fanboyism is actually starting to get detrimental to the industry it makes no sense to me..

[Khajiit86]

I do not like how pc gamers always brag but I do not wish this on my worst enemy.

[aquamala]

only 32 people signed, nothing to see here

[wishingW3L]

have you guys seen the petition? It's obviously a joke....

https://www.change.org/en-C...

[showtimefolks]

If GTA5 comes to PC than you can pretty much guarantee that it will come to ps4/xbox one. I believe it is coming to next gen consoles so it will come to PC

why would you want to block a PC version of GTA5? think of all the mods for GTA5

[Fil101]

Lol yeah what a joke as if rockstar ain't gonna release GTAV on PC and anyone that think different is deluded, ie: the people that have signed this laughable petition.

[B-radical]

They clearly dont want pc to mod the game and make it looks even better

[yeahokchief]

I'm all for whatever makes Rockstar the most money. They've stuck by their fans doing excellent jobs on every game they've put out. I don't care who enjoys it.

Got my GTA V Collectors Edition Preordered for next Tuesday and I'm ready to go.

[Red_Devilz]

@IVanSpinal

Looks like it is a new use of term "Fanboy" - anyone who speaks logically to make you look dumb and leave you with absolutely no intelligent reply than name calling.

Well, I am proud to be a Playstation Fanboy. At least I don't have to look dumb while explaining my choices.

[0ut1awed]

And yet if the PC version was created console gamers would more than likely have a xbox1/ps4 version since the architecture is so similar.

"Gamers wanting to hurt themselves while hurting other gamers" should really be the title of this article.

[phosphor112]

Seriously. "I don't want others to enjoy this awesome game! GRR!"

-___-

Peoples be crazy.

[WarThunder]

with 1,120 supporters?

Really? wtf is wrong with people? i want the PC version.

[Pro Racer]

Ignorant haters

[Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II]

if they dont release a pc version im gonna pirate it.

[ThatEnglishDude]

Because ya know, piracy only exists within the PC platform.

...Can't see this getting many signatures.

[matgrowcott]

I took it less literally than that. I thought he meant more along the lines of "so that PC gamers stop taking console exclusive games. Why can't they just make their own?"

Which would just be hilarious if true.

[NarooN]

There will be tons of 360 torrents and some PS3 torrents of this very game available around the time the game launches. Dunno why the myth that piracy is only on PC still exists.

[HammadTheBeast]

It's stupid hard to get games on PS3 pirated anymore, Blu-ray itself is a hassle, along with constant patching, wiping, etc.

Not to mention it's near impossible to go online.

There will be copies, as with other major SP games like Skyrim, but not many.

[wannabe gamer]

for 360 yes since its super easy to pirate for. PS3 not so much.

[ThatEnglishDude]

I expect the game to be leaked before official release, to be honest.

[Feralkitsune]

@Hammed, can't you just FTP the games right to your harddrive on PS3? Don't need to even use disc.

[aquamala]

PS3 and 360 games are pirated less because it's hard to do, it's not like these console owners don't steal because they are against piracy.

plenty of pirated Wii, PSP, PS1, Dreamcast games out there.

[SniperControl]

@Feralkitsune

No, PS3 uses the fat32 hdd file system which only allows 4gb file allocations (even though you may have a 1tb hdd). As most games are over 4gb, they wont fit on the fat32 hdd.
Unfortunately, the hdd cant be re-formated to NTSF as the PS3 wont recognise it.

[CaptainYesterday]

But why?! Everyone should be able to play this game I'm still hoping it will come out for Wii U so the Wii U owners can enjoy it too!

[Fireseed]

Take a look at the Devil May Cry 4 petitions and you may understand how stupid people need to be in order to do this stuff.

[Studio-YaMi]

The petition is made by a troll,it has been confirmed.

Wouldn't take it seriously at all.

[ExCest]

lel.

[nooneknows]

That's just screwed up.

I feel bad for those PC players, they should be getting the game also.

[Seafort]

I am a PC gamer but I'm having to buy GTA5 for my PS3 instead.

It's the only way to play it in a reasonable time frame before everything is leaked about it as Rockstar are taking their sweet ass time announcing the PC version as usual :)

I won't be buying the PC version when it comes out now though. They got my money. Not spending another penny on the game if Rockstar can't be arsed.

[GarrusVakarian]

That is downright stupid. You wan't to punish the many because a few people pirate videogames? Where is the logic in that? How can you teach people a lesson if they don't do anything bad in the first place? They shouldn't be represented by a tiny minority of pc gamers.

It's the same as saying "videogames are evil, ban them!" just because a handful of people who just so happen to play videogames kill people.

[YNWA96]

Its a hell of a lot more than a few Lukas

[GarrusVakarian]

Compared to the amount of people who DON'T pirate games, i think its safe to say a few.

[Megaton]

If everyone were pirating games on PC, it wouldn't be the platform that generates the majority of EA and Activision's revenue every year. Nor would Valve be doubling their profits year after year through Steam. Piracy is all too often the scapegoat of devs who made a bad game or otherwise screwed up their launch on PC.

[starchild]

Damn well said, Megaton.

The PC generated 20 billion dollars last year in revenue. That's more than any single console. The figure speaks for itself.

And there is plenty of piracy on the 360 and PS3.

I think the console dweeb that started this petition wasn't talking about piracy anyway. It seems he believes that when the PC gets a game that was previously only available on consoles it means the PC 'stole' that game. I'm sure it doesn't bother him when the consoles get a game that was previously exclusive to the PC.

Hypocrisy, bias, irrationality and tribalism-based hate-mongering are the hallmarks of a fanboy.

[pandehz]

Bad game devs tell their publishers and publishers tell their bosses that it was' Piracy that crashed our game.'

LOL you will not see this happening with a good game. Just excuses from devs who make bad games or shitty ports.

[JsonHenry]

Jelly of the MODs, that is why. :)

[Software_Lover]

But.......... GTA started on PC?

[ShaunCameron]

But GTA generated more revenue and made its name on consoles?

[Seafort]

You wouldn't have a GTA game if it hadn't done well on PC first though.

The same with Call of Duty :)

You call all of us pirates and pc elitist but most of your best selling games started out as PC exclusives.

You should be thanking us not making petitions to stop us from playing the games consoles gamers take for granted!

[Software_Lover]

No, GTA 3 made it's own name. If the game had been released on PC only it would have still been popular because there was nothing like it. It had nothing to do with Sony or Microsoft.

GTA 3 probably sold more ps2's when it came out than any other game released since. The ps2 did not sell GTA 3.

[FlameHawk]

Lol they have brought all the previous GTA games to PC and why would they listen to some nobody?

[matgrowcott]

Refresh. There was a linking confusion.

[FlameHawk]

Yeah noticed it, it was hard to find the hyperlinks.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Correction: a group of nobodies

[vivid83]

this is just pathetic why would anyone want to rob pc gamers of playing this masterpiece ? people need to get a life

[SniperControl]

Wow, douche bags.

[Axonometri]

It is 100% understandable why they would want to prevent stealing PC versions of this or any game. But this was not thought out at all. You are going to punish those that purchase their game on PC and really want it on their platform?

I have the game Pre-ordered on PS3.

[warewolfSS]

Why did you need to throw that last part in?

Honest question.

[Axonometri]

Because I was able to buy the game. Regardless of it coming to PC or not.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

I First thought It was a Petition to bring it TO PC soon, now that I look closer this is just DUMB. I Petition the Petitioner to change it!.

[pwnsause_returns]

wow...there are stupid people in this world afterall...

[Axonometri]

It took you this long to realize that? Where you been living?

[pwnsause_returns]

engineering school :/

[Axonometri]

Excuse validated. Carry on.

[mixelon]

You're on n4g! That should've become clear immediately.

[steve30x]

I cant see many people supporting this. He should get in touch with reality though. I could show him a few websites with console torrents and thousands of people download the torrents.

[BludoDaSmelly]

Seriously?

[bromtown]

Idiots. I mean, not that Rockstar will pay any attention to this, nor should they but the morons who sign this may as well call it "Petition to make Rockstar broke by removing a third revenue stream".

There needs to be an IQ test before you let people go on the internet.

[ABeastNamedTariq]

Are you serious? That's ridiculous.

[BattleTorn]

No worries PC gamers, the petition will lose all momentum by next Tuesday :P

[mafiahajeri]

Stupid, let the PC gamers get the game, their mods are hilarious too watch. It would be a waste. What the hell I'm I saying! It's not like R* are going to listen to these losers...

[EXVirtual]

Yeah. That being said, it's an overreaction but it's for a reason. PC elitists constantly put down console gamers and console gamers get angry and this crap happens. It's pathetic from both sides really.

[A1r80rn3]

Then maybe, instead of standing in tacit agreement of the practice, you shouldn't show it any support? Surely this is logical. Don't say that something's pathetic and then empathize with it.

Also, don't generalise. There are stupid numbers of console elitists and fanboys, just as there are numbers of outspoken PC elitists. I've seen more instances where a console gamer has instigated an argument by being obnoxious, insulting or just telling outright lies about PC and console gaming than i have PC elitists trashing console gamers.

[Bathyj]

*Facepalm and a sigh*

[soultecc]

this person is soooooooooo dumb. we need a petition to get him banished from the galaxy.

[SaxScrotumz]

where do I sign?

[SoulSercher620]

I'm not even a PC gamer and I think this is the dumbest thing in the history of gaming.

[Goro]

Signed :) Don't want all these PC players modding the game.

[steve30x]

OMG They might bring out mods that you will never use. How dare they.

[mixelon]

Eerrrr.. Why the hell not? R* are supportive of all the modding and extra longevity it gives their games. GTA4 mods are popular and do nobody any harm.

You know modders will make the PC version eventually look insanely nice years down the line too.

[exfatal]

Man people are seriously trying to make a petition to take away someones oppertuinity to enjoy the same game as yourself? seriously guys take that in... thats not cool.

goes to show you, people will make a petition for anything these days

[warewolfSS]

Playstation fanboys at their best. Lord knows they always start the dumbest sh*t

[Angeljuice]

You be trolling, that's bad for your bubbles mister.

[Imalwaysright]

Says the guy that said the dumbest shit on this thread!

[kingmushroom]

I'll sign it in a heart beat, Maybe that will put these PC fan-boys in their place and can finally shut up a bout how powerful their PCs are because omg no one CARES!!!

[Are_The_MaDNess]

havent changed i see........sigh

[porkChop]

How about this, why don't you just piss off.

[mixelon]

You obviously DO care. Or you wouldn't be so bitter about it.

Let the PC guys enjoy their hardware superiority (for now?), every platform has its strengths and weaknesses, but their copies of multi plats do tend to embarrass everyone else's.

[kingmushroom]

wow you guys get so but hurt about this.

[Trago1337]

That is the saddest thing I've ever seen. Why limit the number of platforms a MULTIPLATFORM game is on? Bunch of console fanboys.

[2pacalypsenow]

Lol do they know GTA started on PC

[thelaughingwiseman]

It gained it's fame on the PS2, even though it was also for xbox and PC. it Sold a crap load on PS2.

[Seafort]

I think he means the first GTA as in the 2d top down version not GTA3 the 3d version.

GTA1 was a DOS game on PC first. It was then ported to PS1 and Windows PC.

[2pacalypsenow]

It came out on Ps2 first

[Are_The_MaDNess]

anyone that sign this is prob to young to know that and shouldnt play GTA in any case.

[thelaughingwiseman]

I bet you didn't know about GTA until GTA 3

[Are_The_MaDNess]

nope i didnt, it was before my time. GTA VC was my first game. played all the others after that tho.

But IMO i think that GTA3 would sell well no matter what machine it was on. since it did alot of things other games didnt at the time.

[GAMExxOVER]

Good luck with that lol, Pc gamers bring in 2x the revenue to the game developers than all the consoles combined. Sure, they will give up 60 something % of their profits to teach billy a lesson. I am sure that will go over well with the video Card manufacturers that also supply parts the the consoles. Thus, Petition all you want, it will never happen. By the way, did you know the game is made on a PC and works on PC before it is ever ported to any Console? lol Oh and by the way, does someone want to let the idiot know that all the same games that are pirated on PC are also Pirated and available for download for Xbox and Play station?

[annus]

Where have you pulled this magic number of 2x all the consoles combined in revenue from?

The 'official' sales from GTA4 are poor, due to the fact they don't count digital sales, but I would say a massive amount of gamers picked up GTA4 cheap from steam, so I'm not sure how 2x is even possible, or where you are even getting your information from.

[M1chl]

Is this real?? I mean, WOW....

[thelaughingwiseman]

PC version of that game would destroy! Look how fun GTA 4 multiplayer is. This game easily is multiplayer of the year!

[Pandamobile]

This has 13 signatures...

Why is this news?

[My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante]

Looks like Playstation fanboys are desperate to try and stop the superior version of the game since they're stuck with the basic version.

[SpideySpeakz]

You're trolling way too hard.

[AceBlazer13]

Seriously? Your that butthurt that you bring up PlayStation even though the article isn't even about consoles.

[RavageX]

As a console gamer and occasional PC gamer I have to say this is stupid. I personally think all games should be on whatever platform if there is a way to do it so all can experience them.

[thelaughingwiseman]

if Anything, they should petition for a Wii U version!

[modesign]

rockstar would be wasting money that they would never get back from the pc gaming community.

[Are_The_MaDNess]

most games released on steam make their money back within the week..........

[Nes_Daze]

It will be on the PC eventually, nothing to worry about. This is the last game I'm getting on my PS3 before I move on to PS4. :)

[Grave]

I'll sign a petition against GWFL showing up in a PC version of GTA V, but that's about it.

[wannabe gamer]

GFWL is dead, no new games are being released for it and the store to buy anything thru it is shutdown.

[Grave]

Really!? Thats awesome!

[isarai]

Can someone please tell me how this is a case of "Sony Fanboys"? i mean nowhere does it hint or mention that he is either for PS3 or Xbox, just sounds like a bunch of fanboys grasping at straws for something to blame on Sony fanboys. I'm not a fanboy of any platform so honestly i couldn't care less if he's either but the ignorance and immature nature of it all is getting on my nerves.

Also seriously WTF, what does it change if PC gamers get it aswell? let them have it, won't effect you any, freakin idiot

[Jovanian]

lol 13 signatures

Guys, every single GTA with exception to the handhelds has been on the PC...It is statistically ignorant to think GTA 5 won't at some point come to the PC. Out of the blue, GTA 5 breaks the trendline? Just...stop using your brain if you think this

[OC_MurphysLaw]

It stupid sh*t like this that makes me hate being associated with console gamers. Do console gamers magically forget about all the millions of hacked consoles over the years? Console gamers are no better than PC gamers when it comes to trying to get something for free...its just harder on consoles these days given the more closed enviornments. I say put GTA V out on PC...AND PS4 & Xbox One. Give it to as many as you can cause this game is going to be that good.

[isarai]

one idiot does not represent every console gamer out there, and there are people just as stupid on all platforms. Buying a PC doesn't magically evolve you into a higher level being, jesus christ some people

[OC_MurphysLaw]

I should clarify.... I am 100% a console gamer but would never want to see a game not go to another system out of some kind of mortality stance.

[wtopez]

Oh boy. It's coming to PC and it's being ported by Rockstar Leeds- the same studio that made the PC version of Max Payne 3. If you haven't seen how that turned out, Google it.

[AceBlazer13]

Seriously? Why not make a petition for some useful shit,like no more timed exclusives or exclusive dlc between platforms.

[cunnilumpkin]

lol, I wouldn't even play this game on console, the only way R* will ever see any money from me is by putting it on pc

[wannabe gamer]

I guess they dont know piracy is just as easy on xbox 360. i know several ppl that have hundreds of pirated xbox games and they go online. they save so much money not buying games that they dont care if they get console banned once a year cause its cheaper to buy a new console. the cost of 4-5 games buys a new unit so they dont care. myself i havent touched my xbox in over a year. not enough exclusives to interest me. i am thinking of getting a ps3 by end of the year to play all the exclusives i missed out on this gen.

[Seafort]

You got a lot of catching up to do if you do get a PS3 for the exclusives hehe :P

[wannabe gamer]

oh did anyone else notice a lot of sigs on the petition are from ppl that think they are signing a petition to bring GTA 5 to PC lol. reading ftw

[marchinggamer]

Dumbass console people just don't understand

[Plagasx]

Lol just foolish console fanboys scared PC is going to get the better version

[Bonerboy]

The truth of a better PC version hurts them just too much it seems.

[Bonerboy]

BAHAHAHA oh console kidlets... you always try so very hard, and always end up looking so utterly stupid. Dont worry though, I am sure if you wipe the drool, tears and snot from your face, and express your concerns, Mummy will fix you a nice grilled american cheese on white wonderbread with the crusts cut off (not too brown though because we all know how you get when its too brown), a pudding cup with your favorite little spoon, and a junior juice to assuage your terrible anguish. Given the severity of the issue, if you're very lucky, you'll get a few chocolate 'teddy grahams' too, but not too many or your delicate tummy-tums will get upset and you wont be able to get your jammies off fast enough for poopies time. You might even get some distraction time with your favorite show, "The little dinosaur."
Man, 1st world problems. What a great embarrassment to all gamers. You Pathetic Idiots.

[Bonerboy]

BAHAHAHA

[Vip3r]

Because no 360/PS3 gamer has ever modded a 360/PS3 to play pirates games.

Idiots.

Clearly just upset than us "PC Master Race" will be able to have a superior version of GTA to the console players.

[SpideySpeakz]

That's even if we'll see a PC version. I have a feeling R* will take their sweet ole time with the PC port. I say around Fall of next year.

[assdan]

This makes no sense, so you're going to stop it from being launched so people that buy games legitimately are punished? The pirates are going to be able to get the game then. First off, it's already finished probably, so it would make no sense. Second, that's not the point of change.org. A company isn't going to agree to a petition that won't make it money. It could get 500000 signatures and they still wouldn't agree to it. That's because everyone signing hates the "PC master race." If I start a petition to not release ryse on the xbox one, it won't make a difference if everyone who signs it is a PS4 fanboy.

[xKugo]

Actually this isn't really surprising, as PC gamer piracy has really become a thorn in developers sides. Some developers are now deciding to not even make their games for PC because they already know it's going to be pirated i.e. FFXV and KH3. I expect to see more of this as developers begin to stand-up to piracy.

[Seafort]

Eh?

The PC has never had any of the Final Fantasy's at launch and we don't have one single Kingdom Hearts.
They are console games and I'm fine with that.

The only FF we have is the MMOs (FFXI and XIV) and that's as it should be.

You do realise that more developers are coming back to PC now as the main platform then porting to PS4 and Xbone.

Please go sign that petition so you can feel good about yourself about owning an pirateless console...oh wait!

Console games are pirated too! Who would have thought :P

[xKugo]

I realize this but that's not to be attributed to any sort of re-birth of affection towards PC players. It's simply due to consoles adopting x86/64 architecture, which in itself makes lead-development on PC a no-brainer. Not to mention that the developers for multi-platform games such as Watch Dogs, The Crew and AC4 had to begin development on these games much earlier than when they received dev-kits for newer hardware, which again points to PC as lead platform.

To your implied point about developers return, it's actually quite the opposite. Developers are actually abandoning the PC market and bringing their franchises over to consoles because that's where the money is. Companies like Blizzard are taking their once prized PC exclusive franchise Diablo to consoles because their isn't much profit in PC exclusives anymore. They're tired of losing money because of the grade of players they pander to. They don't make nearly enough money from this franchise as an exclusive to supplement the insurmountable losses they make by keeping it FROM consoles.

I understand PC technically has more exclusives, with all the RTS, strategy and RPG games but you have no more blockbuster exclusives left other than WoW(maybe LoL).

[KontryBoy706]

this will be the BIGGEST FAIL EVER

[DoggyBiscuit]

GTA is awesome game period the way I see it is GTA 5 should be on every console handheld and PCs

[GAMExxOVER]

Guess what, Xbox and PS games are also Pirated and available for download right along with the PC versions. How about we petition it only come out on PC until console players stop modding their machines and pirating games. PC gamers bring more than 2x the revenue to the Game industry than consoles combined. Fact, go look it up.

[Strakken]

I'm not going to result to name calling, and just saying outright that this is wrong.This is wrong because withing the games indus NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOO

[ATi_Elite]

RAMPANT piracy on the PC is so outta control

(usually some third world country that pirates the most cause of high game prices and low wages meanwhile Diablo III sells 15 million units on ONE platform)

PC is the ONLY place that Video Game Piracy Happens

(remember all those Unlocked Xbox360 articles and GeoHot unlocking the PS3 how quick some people forget that piracy happens every where)!

6 months and XB1 or PS4 will be unlocked!

[GodGinrai]

I wont be suprised when X1 and PS4 emulators turn up. both are X86, so this will happen sooner or later.

[mixelon]

They'll both require *insanely* specced pcs though to emulate the strange custom hardware though. The bandwidth just isn't there on the PC side yet.

Give it a few years though.

[FlyingFoxy]

Complete BS man, i buy my games for 1 reason, to play online.

Besides, a PC version of GTA V would have huge potential for online play with many more players than the console versions.

Whoever signs the petition are obviously console kids who just don't want us to own the game on PC because it will be better, not because of piracy. They just want to try and spoil things for us and it's not gonna even work.

[H0RSE]

"...i buy my games for 1 reason, to play online. "

What did you do before online gaming?...

[andyboy13]

Wow, this has nearly as many signatures as the petition for a PC edition!

[ziggurcat]

What kind if stupid nonsense is this? Why would people be against R* making a PC version?

[ziggurcat]

*of stupid

edit: who the hell disagrees with calling the idea of preventing a PC version of this game from being made stupid?

[aLiEnViSiToR]

DAFUQ IS THIS SH!T >_> this is so sad to see and such ignorance hurts my brain. (sorry for harsh language)

[Max-Zorin]

Fanboys will be fanboys.

[laid2rest]

Lol this is so funny.

[N4G85]

LMFAO this Gen has to be craziest ever , everybody going nuts everywhere LMFAO this petition is making me lol so much

[Sy_Wolf]

It's funny because developers make more on PC then they do on consoles.

[Iceman_Nightmare]

Thats not true, I want evidence on that

[Iceman_Nightmare]

Signed it,I'm against piracy! PC piracy rate is way higher than on CONSOLES.

[zu4G]

I slightly agree with it, maybe 6 Pirate PC fanboys disagrees with you or should i call them Pirate boys not fanboys.. kill piracy!

[t3gamenews]

why dont they make a wii u version instead of pc, all someone has to to to get it on pc is torrent it. so there loosing more money releasing on pc than WiiU.

[darkbluecrayon]

All the more reason now to bring GTAV to PC. Modders can put these petitioners in the game and the rest is up to the imagination...

[laijka]

Someone should make a petition to shut down petition.org. Nothing but stupid comes from it.

[SephirothX21]

Sometimes humanity brings stupid to new levels and this has certainly raised the bar.

[Murad]

Wait, is this article series? I'm a friggin PC gamer and I've never stolen a single PC game. I have done it to the Wii (for Japanese titles that I bought but couldn't play in English without dubs), but not for PC. What does a guy like this think will happen? If PC doesn't have GTA, PC gamers will come over the to PS3 side, and mod the shit out of it, and then hack it and then from there, steal GTA 5 or this petition can end so people on PC can try it instead of acting like we're bunch of pirates. Also, for any who say that GTA 4 was stolen so many times, I have one statement. The game deserved to be stolen. It was terribly optimized on PC, there was little to no support, and in general, the game itself barely looks as good, and you know who we should be paying? The modders who make the game look amazing.

[Angerfist]

Lmao, now ive seen it all. Gta 5 will be on pc, but probably after a year because this will take time, no need for a bad running game like gta 4 was

[MuhammadJA]

lol, some console fanboys are just pathetic. (not the people here, the ones who will sign this petition).

[zu4G]

LOL ..

[RickHiggity]

So lets just say they get their 100 signatures. 100 people don't want the game on PC. Hell, even if was 1000, or 10,000, that's how many people, out of the vast majority that will gladly buy it?

[pandehz]

CHECK THIS OUT

https://www.change.org/en-C...

[TheGrimReaper0011]

Not bringing GTA V on pc? Thats dumb
Now, a petition to optimize GTA for pc? I'm all for it
Don't dare deny it. GTA IV was not optimized for pc's and controlled like shit and ran like shit.
I can play Skyrim with 100+ mods fine, I can play guild wars 2 with best graphics and GTA was the only game I had a problem with

[Khronikos]

Who the hell would ever want to play this game at 25FPS at 720p on consoles if they had better? I will be playing this with my PS4 controller on PC thank you very much.

[DFray919]

people r signing just to b stupid. or they really hate PC lol

[mep69]

So, if a website didn't advertise this, no one would know about it. But this site decides to advertise it so it gets signs :/
Good Job

[KentBlake]

Most idiotic thing I've seen this year. Making a petition to keep other people from enjoying what they like.

[Ratty]

Lol what? I'm a console gamer but that's just retarded.

[KrimsonKody]

Kind of makes sense;
PC gamers don't want it to "play", as much as they want to be able to mod the GTAV version.
R* spent tons of money on the development of this game. I don't think they would appreciate what it is that PC gamers want to do.
Maybe a PC release will be fine for release by early next year, after the initial sales/revenue slows down a bit.

[KingOfArcadia]

Huh, so all the trolls have moved on from bashing Microsoft to something else just as retarded?

[MakiSaad2]

PC ppl deserves this, Because every time there is a console news they come by and say PC MASTER RACE now enjoy ur "Master Race" without GTA V

[MasterCornholio]

Look ive signed petitions to bring this game to other platforms such as the XBOX One, Wii U, PS4 and PC however i will never sign a petition like this because i believe that everyone should be able to enjoy this game no matter what platform they own*.

*: Only platforms powerful enough to play this game.

[clmstr]

PC gamers should stop stealing console games?
Yeah, right. Considering the fact that the first Grand Theft Auto game ever was at first released on PC and only after some time on PS1, this statement is INVALID.
If you want to troll people do the research beforehand.
Period.

[RVanner_]

F-ing ridiculous.

[shadowst17]

I'm guessing Trevor Phillips isn't his real name, because if it is this guy is in for a huge shit storm soon. Probably some 13 year old who will very likely be driven to suicide after they find him.

[Hozi]

Oh I see their logic...It's bullshit!!! They acting like people don't do the same thing with Xbox 360 and other consoles.

[Flames76]

This is good because thats what will happen PC players will pirate the game.Plus its GTA it belongs on consoles and rockstar can fully focus on that.

[Coach_McGuirk]

you did know that the GTA series started on PC, right?

[steve30x]

First of all GTA Started on PC and secondly console gamers Pirate games too.

[mt]

for now you have 3 options.

1- PS3
2- xbox360
3- wait till they announce for PC.

[KontryBoy706]

Add PS4 and XBOX ONE to that. It WILL happen

[mt]

well I am talking for "now".
I think PS4 and Xbox1 will be announced with PC version.

[Kidmyst]

What a stupid petition. I'd get this on PC for the mods but prefer to play it on console. But if Rockstar was concerned about stealing they would deny the PC a version, more will pay that steal.

[KontryBoy706]

That dude should dig a hole and crawl in or go play in traffic. There's no F'n way a company would agree to NOT make more money. Every GTA is on PC and so will this one. Pointblank period. Hacking/Piracy exists on EVERY platform.

[DxTrixterz]

OMG. This is just freakin sad. I just brought a damn gaming pc that cost me nearly £1000 to play GTA4 on pc. How in blue hell would you not want a PC version of GTA5 that with help of community would look 10 times better (just look at Icenhancer) and the mods that will keep game fresh for next few years. GTA on PC is best thing that can happen for PC gaming.

[Orionsangel]

This is about console only gamers protecting their investment. They know the day consoles lose exclusives is the day consoles die. Exclusives are the only thing that keep consoles going. I own PC and Consoles and I bought Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, GTAIV and the list goes on; on PC over consoles. Don't give me this crap either that you can't afford a good PC rig. When you're willing to pay $400 to $600 plus games for a console. A good PC can be built or bought for as low as $400 to $600. Thanks to Steam PC games are no longer a hassle to deal with and guess what? I already have next gen with my current PC. The specs are better than the PS4 and Xbox One.

[Subzero200]

lol you know.

[RVanner_]

Agreed, You hear people saying next gen gaming is starting when the new consoles launch. Well no, my pc cost me £750 ish a few years back and I've been next gen gaming for over a year.....

[thebudgetgamer]

Hilarious.

[SDIII]

Lol, this will never work. Rockstar makes consoles a priority because they know they can make a better profit there. PC gamers are more likely to download the game illegally. Not saying this is true for all, but it is the truth. This is the same reason PC games are dirt cheap compared to console games.

[urwifeminder]

I am waiting for the pc version so I am the anti them.

[ritsuka666]

Already surpasses 2.000 signatures! Roflcopter.

[Subzero200]

so people don't want a superior version?

"PC gamers are more likely to download the game illegally"

you really are a jackass u know that? more people pirate console games than anything, because its easier to do so. Also people in some places in the world already have this game, so what does that tell you?

[H3ADWOUND81]

Say no to pc?

[H3ADWOUND81]

Whut we got here is a failure to communicate.....

[TXIDarkAvenger]

"So PC gamers learn their lesson and stop stealing games."

People "steal" games on PS3 and 360 as well. I don't get the point. This is probably some butthurt console peasant.

[KiLLeRCLaM]

The game started on PC if they ever do that..it's fucked!

[sephiroth420]

i for one cannot wait for the pc version, youve seen how amazing gta4 is on pc with all the mods making it look better and even play a bit different, theres big things ahead for gta5 on pc, this petition wont go anywhere, i cant see many people agreeing with it.

[Dubaman]

Is this really what the gaming community has come to? It's suppose to be about playing games, sharing tips and secrets and just having fun. Now we get people defending bits of plastic like it was their first born and using sales figures to make their bit of plastic seem superior. The more games and bits of plastic, the better. Seriously, f*ck you guys. You're ruining what was once a f*cking awesome way of having fun and meeting like minded people. How many people here have friends that they met through gaming? Now you'll get people slit you're throat if you say you play with a different bit of plastic than them. Its such a f*cking shame.

[TrollCraftTales]

The only reason why these people are doing this is because they have dealt with a PC fanboy that said consoles are $hit, so they want GTA on consoles to prove that they aren't, it's so stupid, there are plenty reasons to buy a console, and just as many reasons to buy a PC, this is just taking a great game away from people who want it, people are really petty sometimes...

[LightningSamus]

Why would it matter that PC gets the game?

If you are already getting it on the system you play then you shouldn't worry about people who use another system getting the same game.

Those people are just selfish.

I believe it is a good thing more players get to enjoy the game.

This petition just like most petitions will fail hard.

[steve30x]

The one and only reason I want GTA V on PC is because I can play it with my keyboard and mouse. As I've said many times if I could use my keyboard and mouse on my console then I wouldn't have a gaming PC.

[Dragonlord112]

even though I dont agree with this petition but am getting fucking tried how PC gaming is best there's is and desperate pc fanboys just asking for PC release there's a reason why consoles exist, if you dont like how GTA V is being managed screw off PC idiots.

Why is this joke of a petition the Hottest article today? Seriously people? Did I miss the part where the person came clean and admitted it was a light hearted joke? I must have missed something, because this is just strange.

[H3ADWOUND81]

It should Be console only, didn't think twice about signing it.. F**k pc..

[johnneywalker]

Who do not want to play GTA in pc version? You tell me!!! If you are playing games in other platform, it is fine. None of your business here. You can withdraw now. There are over 300,000 people want to play in pc. We are so many but you are so few.

[GAMExxOVER]

A little news for the Jerk off that started that petition, As of right now, the Xbox 360 version of this game is already pirated and being downloaded by thousands and thousands of people, they are already playing it. Not on the pc but on the xbox 360 and they are starting to post their game play videos. So lets not release on PC to teach people not to pirate? What? The only people I see pirating the game right now are Xbox users.

[steve30x]

Yup I found six torrents of GTA V that are all working on a very popular torrent site. It amazes how naieve some people are.
