I’m confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

    GTA5 PC players usually play on modded servers that don’t use shark cards. I think that’s what they meant.

      Yeah, I’m unconvinced that PC players don’t purchase micro-transactions.

          Yes, my post was hyperbole, I should have been more accurate.

          You didn’t address the topic though, are you just here to score points?

            “Hyperbole” is just a euphemism for strawman. No one said PC players don’t buy shark cards. You made their argument look ridiculous by misrepresenting what they said. That isn’t a good faith argument to begin with.

              I bet its because console players are far more likely to dump their life savings into Shark Cards 2.0 in massive fits of hysterical FOMO.

              …isn’t an example what I would consider a “good faith argument” to begin with, but I do apologize if my responses come off as blunt.

        I never said they didnt. But PC can be modded and exploited much easier than consoles can, Which can impact their sales of blatant bullshit ripoff micro transactions.

          Can impact, but likely not a huge one. Just like how most people playing Skyrim are playing without mods, most people playing GTA games aren’t going to bother with mods and modded servers.

            I’d rather mod myself game money than spend on MTX with T2.
            And the majority of minimal tech literate gamers are nearly the same.

            Doubt.

            Edit to expand: I honestly don’t think I would’ve played it if it wasn’t for mods. The interface is so blatantly consoley and clunky that every action takes way more effort than it needs to.

        The likelyhood of a console player buying MTX and a pc player buying MTX is IMO more likely biased towards console.
        There certainly are whales on all platforms but mobile doesnt count right now.

          Why not? It’s the biggest market.
