Not to defend them because I think it is a bullshit move, however, didn't GTAV also release first on consoles?
And wasn't that also bad?
I had an Xbox 360 just for GTA 5. I bought a PS4 just for RDR2. I'm sure as hell not buying a PS5 for this.
Also there were planned DLC for GTA 5 single player that got axed once people started spending money online.
Yes that why I said
just that it's expected behavior because Rockstar has always been terrible.
Yep, and that's why I never bought it. It released way too late at full price, fuck you Sony.
Got it for free on Epic.
GTA has released first on consoles ever since GTA3. Every single one except 1 and 2, didn't come to PC for at least a year.
And it sold gangbusters; making the arguments against that practice a little hard to hold, as frustrating as that is for consumers.
I think all of them did, at least GTA 3 and onward
