Yeah. Cause this is the way Rockstar would announce it. Give permission for PC Gamer - Malaysia to put a vague announcement on its cover but not give them an actual quote to use in the magazine.
Reminds me of how they announced Vice City for PC in the personal ads in Seattle Weekly: "SWM seeks SWF for late night clubbing and Sun. crossword puzzles. BTW GTA:VC for PC soon!"

magazines, especially the big ones, frequently announce games, its pretty common...as for PC Gamer Malaysia, well they run the exact same articles as PC Gamer UK (Just localized).

Yes, and when they have a major news item like that they put it in every edition and they put it on their website and it's not just a vague blurb on the cover. And when Rockstar decides to release that information they post it on their own website. And when one magazine puts an actual scoop out other magazines and internet site (like Gamespot) call their contacts at Rockstar and have follow up articles running within hours. That image is weeks old.
There's another thread on this a bit down and someone posted an email exchange with a PC Gamer editor who admits that while everyone knows eventually GTA4 will be on PC that cover blurb was not based on any information from Rockstar. That post could be a lie. You have to decide for yourself which makes sense and which doesn't.
