Rockstar San Diego did RDR, not a Rockstar North, hence no PC version.
And later we will learn that the newgen versions were both based on the PC build, which was only held back because reasons.
Not this damn argument again. Every non-portable entry of GTA has made it to the PC.
Piracy.

And here we go.
Pffft... 16:10 or bust.
My guess: They'll first push GTA:Online on consoles and after that they'll announce the other versions. It's basically ongoing free marketing for the game.
The hype right now is pretty high - they don't have to announce another version to create sku confusion atm. That's for the time after the GTAV console project is completed.

I should probably buy it. I'd probably get it in a week as a matter of French honor.
I keep wondering, what could consoles be giving Rockstar for them to always delay PC so it doesn't compete with console sales?
Maybe this time they are getting royalties from xboxlive?
And PC gaming isn't their priority, as seen with RDR - they just didn't care enough to build the game so it could be ported easily.

When will you take my bet?
Well RDR is a different story. There's no reason to think PC gamers would give a damn about RDR. But GTA was a PC game, and at this late in the series, it's not like they couldn't preplan it so they could make some PC gamer money, fucking quickly. It's not like they have the misconception that it wouldn't sell really well. So there has to be a point beyond 'circumstance' or, 'its too hard to port to PC'.
Search links don't work for other users, so you're going to have to link to specific examples.
So that leaves manpower and incompetence on the table?
He was probably referring to the fact the game leaked for 360 and PS3 last week. Though in your defence the piracy levels on PC are probably higher than the consoles.
