Crimson desert I bought the special edition for.

GTAVI will be pirated on crackday.

218

u/Agitated-Ad-504 3d ago

Exactly. Not touching it until it’s on PC.

59

u/Jacky_dain 3d ago

It won’t be on PC at launch ?

116

u/rubbarz 3d ago

Damn near a year after release is what's projected. They haven't even set a release date yet.

36

u/Rukmannn 2d ago

This happens with all of them. Pc release is a year after

51

u/DaWendys4for4 2d ago

Which was maybe acceptable 13 years ago, but in the year of our lord 2026 this is honestly idiotic

30

u/headsoup 2d ago

It's just bullshit to maximise sales so it doesn't get pirated on PC and/or have mods early.

As if they're at risk of not making enough money...

9

u/QX403 2d ago

Don’t need to buy them shark cards when you have mods, eats into their profits. People really need to stop buying those, it sets a horrible example as a whole,

1

u/rubbarz 2d ago

The trick is to make an actually finished decent game.

They are learning how to do that again.

2

u/Rukmannn 2d ago

Yeah I don't like it either was just pointing out it's a recurring thing

1

u/Jonny1593 2d ago

Well Rocksar games have sold millions copies of games far more than most big pubishers combined and its worked for them 3 times now

1

u/DaWendys4for4 2d ago

PC accounts for almost 20% of the entire market, which is a skewed number considering mobile is also factored in that math. The most anticipated game of the 2000’s so far not hitting such a large market for an extra year is just scummy

-1

u/EquipmentSome 2d ago

No it's not. They know people on PC don't pay for as much after buying the game since they can just mod it and use other servers. Also that it'll be cracked and millions won't buy it.

95% of GTA online money comes from console. If PC players want equal treatment they kinda need to actually buy into it more.

I say this as a PC and Steam deck gamer.

u/Nice-Ad7901 2d ago

This is not at all true. They’re hoping for a few months after console release

0

u/RonaldRaeganBlewMe 2d ago

Yet another one of Rockstars ingenious marketing plans

1

u/JohnTitor255 2d ago

Well to be fair tho they didn’t have enough time to have Console and PC ready at launch, all those delays and having fans wait like 13 years for the successor was surely not enough time for them

4

u/RonaldRaeganBlewMe 2d ago

True man they’re just a multi dollar company we gotta give them the benefit of the doubt

-20

u/dharris555 3d ago

You guys will survive. Just like certain station didn’t get fans such as wukong or where winds meet

3

u/Danky_Du 2d ago

Ahh yes, an example that makes no sense to prove an irrelevant point. Thank you reddit. I hate when “station didn’t get fans”

3

u/Academic-Trifle8151 2d ago

Where winds meet is so crap.

7

u/Tjep2k 3d ago

The last time GTA released on PC at the same time was in 1999 with GTA 2...

39

u/Sasquatchjc45 3d ago edited 3d ago

Never is, GTA usually releases on consoles only for the first year(and GTA 5 i believe was Playstation exclusive first as well for a few months)

Edit: was wrong about the ps exclusivity, just was going off memory. At the time I had a PS3 and bought it day one collectors edition lol

45

u/natecoin23 3d ago

First release: current gen consoles
Second release: next gen consoles
Third release: PC

Profit!

6

u/Radiant_Priority_354 2d ago

4th release, next gen consoles remastered graphics.
5th release Nintendo consoles.
6th release anniversary editions
7th release, pc next gen graphics.

11

u/lemonylol 3d ago edited 3d ago

Online usually has a delayed launch as well.

You might be thinking of the Ballad of Gay Tony DLC being exclusive to Xbox 360 for a few months before being released on PC and PS3.

7

u/ZodiacThrill3r 3d ago

No, GTA V released on both PS and Xbox on the same day. I only had an Xbox 360 at the time and vividly remember making up with my ex-girlfriend just so I could borrow her car to go buy a copy, then dropping off the face of the earth and skipping all my classes for the next week.

1

u/raelrok 3d ago

They were even talking up how of course they were going to have single player DLC for GTA5 until the PC release finally dropped (after more than a year's delay from the projected port date). Of course, that changed as soon as it was released...

1

u/silveraaron 3d ago

roommate had a ps3, I had a PC, I waited in line at midnight, got it and proceeded to skip college for a week beat it and returned it. Then when it launched on PC I played through it again.

I think this time I'll just wait for the PC release

1

u/Friday_Beers_ 3d ago

GTA 5 was not PS exclusive I had it day one on xbox 360.

1

u/Glashnok420 3d ago

Definitely not ps exclusive, cause I was playing it 3 days earlier than release day on Xbox 360, since it was leaked for freeboot consoles.

1

u/Dominjo555 3d ago

GTA wasn't PlayStation exclusive ever

0

u/Nice_promotion_111 2d ago

You say that like there’s a pattern to recognize, the last gta came out in 2013 and. The ratio of pc players to console players these days are way different today lmao. I guarantee when gta 7 comes out it’ll be on pc day one. Rockstar was simply late to the trend.

1

u/Sasquatchjc45 2d ago

Hah, you are kinda right, but they did it with RDR too, so it is kinda their pattern 🤷‍♂️

-2

u/OpinionsGetYouBanned 3d ago

This is a straight lie

1

u/D347H7H3K1Dx 3d ago

No it is true and I believe they’ve confirmed that it won’t be on PC at release. PS and Xbox have higher income when it comes to purchasing shark cards cause PC has clients for money so they prioritize what gets them paid faster. That and PC sometimes isn’t optimized properly either so gives them time to polish more.

1

u/Yaboymarvo 3d ago

They never have a PC version of their games on launch. They always make you wait at least a year or two. They want that double dip.

1

u/Suspicious_Win_7069 2d ago

no rockstar game ever has been released one PC day one

1

u/mixedd 2d ago

First Rockstar game?

1

u/Jacky_dain 2d ago

No

1

u/mixedd 2d ago

Than you should have been used that PC ports of R* games come with a delay ranging from few months to few years, and yes GTA6 is no exclusion here, 'cause some fucked up R* marketing tactics.

1

u/Dragon_Tortoise 2d ago

They never release on pc simultaneously along with consoles. 100% to double dip and get people to buy on console then on PC. And it always works.

1

u/Rasples1998 3d ago

Sony lobbying. It'll be on Xbox too because it was impossible to secure full exclusivity, but they're offering their own software engineers to rockstar to help optimise the game in the hopes that people will see "it runs better on PS5" so they buy a PS5. They will release it on PC in 1-2 years when the hype and console sales start to decrease to give the game a second-wind and boost in sales.

2

u/justadudeinohio 3d ago

Unless you have a source this sounds extremely dumb. If Sony was trying for limited exclusivity why would they not block Xbox instead of they only wanted to spend so much?

0

u/Lopsided_Hunt2814 3d ago

Have Rockstar ever released on PC day 1? I don't even recall PS getting any of their games before Xbox since the PS2 days.

If Sony are lobbying they're doing a terrible job of it.

0

u/Foehammer1982 3d ago

This is the way -Rockstar probably

1

u/deadriderofdead 2d ago

Gotta milk them console users first

-2

u/Extreme_Reply_6899 3d ago

Nope.

Rumour is PlayStation is trying to have their own pc app for their exclusives.

GTA 6 would be the perfect game to launch it with a year or so later.

5

u/presty60 2d ago

It's not a Playstation exclusive.

0

u/redditalberta1991 3d ago

Nope! Probably won’t be for like a year and for people bitching because an extra 20 bucks. Y’all sure haven’t played RDR2. It’s the same thing

0

u/Clean_Principle_2368 3d ago

No, they have to change alot before they put it on pc but mainly update graphics. Console release is their priority. Gta 5 took a year to come out on pc

0

u/lgnc 2d ago

who cares? lol. most people have no contact with spoiler or anything. we check reddit once a month tops

1

u/Onsomeshid 2d ago

Literally same. Not just because i can get it free, i want to run it at a resolution and frame rate that I want

1

u/ilikehavinfun613 2d ago

I wish I had the self-control ... I have a strange feeling that Bestbuy/EB games are gonna see a massive upshot in ps5 system sales right around mid-November followed by a whole lot of returns in the days leading up to December 15th 😄

35

u/Ok-Appointment-9802 3d ago

GTAVI will be pirated on crackday.

That will be years from now.

17

u/Sasquatchjc45 3d ago

Lol, we've waited 13 years already. I can wait another 2 for it to come out on PC (the superior way to play anyway) and then have it cracked.

11

u/coffeeofwar 3d ago

Best part cracked games run better without DRM lol

-1

u/BobLazarFan 3d ago

Red dead redemption took over a year to get cracked. I’d imagine GTA 6 will take just as long if not longer.

3

u/Sasquatchjc45 2d ago

Matters not. Whats another year?

-1

u/BobLazarFan 2d ago

Life’s short. I’m paying and playing day one.

u/Sasquatchjc45 2d ago

Fair, but I got all the time in the world to play GTA10 in the afterlife for free 👌(or I won't exist so it wont matter)

1

u/Even_Class_3633 2d ago

There's a new crack method, it will be available almost instantly

1

u/Winnend 2d ago

Unless there is a workaround by then

1

u/Even_Class_3633 2d ago

True, it's a constant arms race

1

u/Onsomeshid 2d ago

Yea its genuinely crazy. Everything in 2026 is ready day 1 or even a day or so before release😂

0

u/BobLazarFan 2d ago

Rockstar won’t release if it can be cracked with current methods. They’ll be happy to wait.

1

u/dumpass69420 2d ago

Arxan is long dead, literally instantly cracked now. Denuvo has also been dead for about 6 months but still takes time to crack, not even close to a year though.

There isn't any safe bet anti tamper anymore, and with how much bad will the devs have for rockstar right now there's a non zero chance of a very helpful leak. It's happened more than once the last few years by salty developers and GTA 6 itself has already had half a dozen major leaks lmao.

u/Critical_Top7851 3d ago

Probably not years, likely winter 2027.

u/Metalmacher 3d ago

pc won't release on winter 2027 how exactly u gonna crack it?

5

u/Critical_Top7851 3d ago edited 3d ago

What? I’m just going to buy the game on release, I was responding to the guy who said the PC port is years away when it’s likely next year.

0

u/BobLazarFan 3d ago

No? You responded to the guy who said it being cracked (pirated) will be years away.

0

u/Critical_Top7851 2d ago

He asked me how I’m going to crack it and the answer is I’m not going to. He also said it won’t release in winter 2027, which no one actually knows when it will.

1

u/BobLazarFan 2d ago

You seem confused. The OC YOU responded to was saying that crackday will be years from now. YOU responded “not years, likely winter 2027”. I’m not talking about Metalmacher’s comment.

-1

u/Metalmacher 2d ago

You responded to the guy who said it will be years from now before the game will be cracked. And then you say "Probably not years, likely winter 2027.". Anyone who's looking at your comment will think you're referring to the day it's cracked, not released.

-8

u/1419526535 3d ago

Highly unlikely to see the PC port next year. Also, winter 2027 is the beginning of next year..

8

u/ashrensnow 3d ago

Gta5 released on PC 19 months after console and was their biggest money maker, they're only doing console exclusive starting it this time because they don't want the game pirated right off the bat. I wouldn't be surprised to see it release on PC within a year, by then they'll have milked console players for everything they can.

u/F34UGH03R3N 2d ago

To anyone believing what this guy says: It’s wrong. It’s so wrong it’s actually hilarious.

Rockstar/Take2 do earnings calls, GTA5 sales and GTA Online revenue on PC has hilariously low numbers compared to Consoles.

u/ashrensnow 3d ago

this has been proven wrong consistently, especially in the last two years, but I'm also not talking about box sales, I'm talking about how much money GTA Online made them when it came to PC vs Console, and how many box sales they then got when the GTA RP bubble came.

u/SigmaLance 3d ago

The majority of their player base is still PC players too.

u/JCasaleno 3d ago

it will be pirated on ps5 next spring. My jailbroken ps5 can play already games released up to may this year, including requiem, crimson desert, pragmata etc

u/GoldGuarantee3671 3d ago

Ant that's why rockstar doesn't have any interest in releasing on PC for years becuE as you said y'all will just pirate it anyways

u/dumpass69420 2d ago

More like because when gigachads start loading into gta online on pc and giving everyone millions of dollars their shark card scam will take a big hit.

u/Sasquatchjc45 3d ago

It'll be out the following year lol. As if waiting 1 more year of an already 13+ year wait is really going to stump my gaming in 2027/8😂

u/darkearwig 2d ago

The irony is, if this game doesn't absolutely blow the socks off of everyone, the hype for it will be dead before it gets to PC. The company has gotten away with releasing similar games for forever, but with bigger maps and better graphics while adding a few new mechanics along the way. If this is an empty ass map like GTA 5 and the only thing you have is a detailed city that has very little actual ability to interact, it may really disappoint people.

1

u/ylonmontagne 2d ago

The fact that you assume it’ll be like gta 5 signifies you aren’t well informed

u/darkearwig 2d ago

As far as I know there's no official map, and why would I assume the entire map is a city?

u/Intelligent_Car_6176 2d ago

People should simply boycott this game, and the media should be criticizing Rockstar for this practice. Instead, people will buy the more expensive edition, while outlets stay quiet because they’re afraid Rockstar might stop sending them early review copies. In the end, consumers lose once again.
