GTAV PC petition reaches 100,000 signatures

Online petition adds 50,000 signatures in two days calling on Rockstar to release open-world action game for PC.

698 Comments

The Change.org petition calling on Rockstar Games to release a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V now stands at over 100,000 signatures. This is a marked increase from the 50,000 the petition had amassed just two days ago.

No Caption Provided

The petition says it is a "big shame" that GTAV is not announced for 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.

Rockstar Games has not officially acknowledged the petition, and a representative was not immediately available to comment.

Last week, Rockstar Games cofounder Dan Houser said PC and Wii U versions of GTAV were "up for consideration." The most recent entry, 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV, released for PC seven months after the console versions shipped.

GTAV is officially due out during spring 2013 only for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Even though I signed and support the petition, I really do wish the creator of it had put more reasons than "Modded GTA is some of the most insanely fun times you can have."

@Whole-Lotta @BryanParksSuper I did play the first 2 GTA's. And while GTA 3 was definitely a turning point in the series, to claim that the series spawned on the console is still an incorrect statement. Also, GTA 1 and 2 were very much sandbox games, allowing you to do whatever you wanted. The major differences were obviously the graphics and the story context. GTA 3 was arguably more engrossing, but it still pays homage to its predecessors.

100,000 eh? DON'T REALEASE IT, YOU'LL ONLY SELL 100,000 COPIES!!!

Ho ho, of course I know they'll probably sell more when it's released, but please gamespot, like 100,000 ONLINE signatures is a great accomplishment, an infamous PC let's player that just screams at the screen for an entire episode gets more views than this in 30 mins (you probably know who I'm talking about).

@hector530 I forgot as in at some point games would just be released on PC firsthand. Nintendo never really made their console for games such as GTA, they made their console for themselves and the rest of their casual gamer following.

Who cares. Rockstar will probally eventually release it on PC. Rockstar is focusing on Console versions 1st because they will sell huge. If Rickstar doesn't do a PC version that suck it up and buy a console. GTA started on consoles. That should tell you console versions sell better than PC. So all these nerds need to stop bitching like Lil 12 year olds.

@BryanParksSuper Honestly, just delete your comments. Did a PC gamer rape you or something? I know console fans hate PC gaming elitists but it's getting old, quit stereotyping us as pirates, snobs, or nerds (As if that is somehow an insult, this 2012, nothing wrong with being a nerd, the only people who hate nerds are insecure because they feel stupid in comparison). Sure those types exist but not everybody is like that. You know kind of like how not every PS3 fan is a sworn by blood oath defender of Sony, every Nintendo fan is below the age of 13 or a soccer mom, or every Xbox fan is a dudebro that only plays Halo, COD, and Gears.

@BryanParksSuper Of course the console version will sell better than the PC version. Like, it won't even be close. Not everybody has the money for a real gaming machine. Most people will settle for the 200$ Xbox and be fine.

@unreal_master But wasn't Max Payne 3 Gangs also on consoles? They could have just meant your gangs associated with your Xbox Live/PSN accounts will carry over to the console version of GTAV. Also, just because the previous installments all appeared on PC (which is not true if you consider the PSP exclusives and the DS GTA) doesn't necessarily mean that they will release a PC version this time. It is better to ask and get a straight answer than to assume something.

Pirates... 'Nuff said.

Also, "because we can mod it" is the ******* lamest reason to port it for the PC.

@JustArtificial that awkward moment when every game is available for download on torrent sites before the pc version......and I believe a lot of us will buy GTA V for PC if it gets released.....not to mention the far superior graphics on the PC ....and the mods

@JustArtificial You've never played a game with good mods, have you?

As for pirates, I know a whole office of people who rent one copy of a console game, copy it, and share throughout the office. Not a single cent of about twenty people making it to the developer.

@JustArtificial You do know that PC's now-a-days are powerful enough to pirate console games, thus the "Pirating" excuse really doesn't hold a lot of water anymore for this generation.

They need to go back and rewrite that petition. "Give us GTA V because our PCs can run it and we want to make mods for it." I'm sure you guys can make a better case than that.

After the travesty of a port of GTAIV, why are people begging for a GTAV PV port?

Yes, there was a textures mod that made it look amazing, but the base game ran horribly.

@stailcookie Not everybody had issues running it. Not all R*'s PC ports have been bad either. Max Payne and L.A. Noire are great ports. Go play GTA4 now, it sucked at launch but they fixed it. The only fault it has is GFWL and that has nothing to with if it runs fine or not. The mods are great as well.

@stailcookie I had no problem running GTA4 pc... the only problem I had was that it released so late, everyone already had it for console, and nobody bothered playing free-roam online.

I want a PC version to avoid the horrible draw distances that the console versions suffer from. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE playing games on my 360, sitting in front of my 92" HDTV, but when I can see assets popping in and out of my field of view, it takes something out of the experience of playing a sandbox game. Had this been on the next iterations of the Xbox or Playstation, this wouldn't be such a big deal, but it isn't and I'm certain that the game will suffer from the same problems that GTA4, SRII and Sleeping Dogs have on the consoles.

@Ernesto_basic Wii U has the potential to fix that but PC is obviously more ideal.

Didn't they say GTAIV won't be coming for PC as well? And then they said they wouldn't put the DLC? And then they released both? They are gonna put it out just a few months later that's it. And these petitions are just a waste of time. Unless it's an official thing they don't really matter.

@OmegaSabre It's true that they did put out a GTAIV PC port, but it wasn't optimized for PC which resulted in a not-so-great experience. Rockstar's solution to this problem was simply to bypass putting out games on PC all together, claiming that it was too hard for them to put such massive games on PC. This was the jist of what they said when asked why RDR, the next blockbuster game Rockstar released after GTAIV. The trend seems to be that they are content with just releasing console version of games while forsaking the PC gaming community. While it is entirely up to them what to do, there's no harm in PC gamers letting the developers know that they are still alive and that they are eager for a PC version of Rockstar's next biggest game. As long as it all stays civil, I don't see any reason to really dissuade people from signing the petition or voicing their opinion on wanting to see a good PC version of the game; I just hope that anyone who does will leave the sense of entitlement at the door.

As much as i wanted i can't see this petition in good way. I am PC gamer only but 100K signs is nothing compared to the millions of copies that will be sold to console owners. I am afraid that with this petition R* will see how little copies that they will sold to PC players and because of that they will keep GTA V console exclusive as much as they can. Yes GTA V will be released for PC but only when console sales stop rising.

@dex3108 - I highly doubt they would see 100K as an expected sales figure. Generally speaking the people that sign these petitions are a minority. There are still a bunch of people that either don't follow this closely or don't care enough the join this petition. I fall in the latter category.
