GTA VI has been internally delayed by Rockstar Games and they’re already decided on the early to mid 2026 release window. PC is planned for around 12 - 18 months after the console launch. (Rumor) (x.com)

Go check out how the rest of the market is working out right now. Helldivers is only as successful as it is because it had a PC version that outsold its console counterpart several times over. Square Enix took a beating on timed exclusivity and won't be going forward with it. Take a look around: who else is postponing their PC version and saying they want to continue to do so? Who else is postponing their PC version without Sony greasing the wheels in the first place? It kind of doesn't matter if it's harder to make a good PC version; the economical thing to do is to prioritize it, unless you're the exception to the rule like Grand Theft Auto that can get people to buy it twice.

Companies do different things? Madness! It must be a conspiracy!

I didn't once call it one, and since this is where you're headed with this conversation, I think we're done here.

You keep saying the ONLY POSSIBLE REASON is to get people to buy it twice, I provided reasoning and evidence to the contrary but you don't care, so yes we're done here 👍
