GTA 6 will launch on PC just a few months after consoles, according to a new report.

    In May, Zelnick told Bloomberg that Rockstar "always starts on console because I think with regard to a release like that you’re judged by serving the core. Like really serving the core consumer. If your core consumer isn’t there, if they’re not served first and best, you kind of don’t hit your other consumers.”

    Can someone translate that into English for me, because I can’t understand it. It sounds like he’s saying PC players aren’t served if console players aren’t served first, which doesn’t make sense.

      Translation:

      "Sony&Microsoft birbe us with lot of money to release on their console, because their console are worthless without birbed exclusives.

      Valve won’t birbe us because they are still into that obsolete thing called… <<honesty>>

      Ultimately Epic Games can’t afford to biribe us"

      I took it as he was saying “we want to make sure it doesn’t suck on console before we release it on PC, because console is traditionally our core market.”

      “We don’t give a shit about PC because the bulk of our whales are on console. Now give me and my punchable chin money!”
