Forums - Gaming - Pc is a Failure to R*, barely any money made out of it.

I'm certainly out of the loop when it comes to GTA 5 on PC but I seem to recall R* banning anyone with a modded game... Certainly would drive some PC players away. And good luck selling them extra stuff: they make their own.

Yep if this thread was about another system i wont name it would of been locked and a bunch of users warned and banned a long time ago.

But dont worry hopefully soon things like this will change around here, but for now its best to just report and move on even if the report doesnt seem to work sometimes.

Here's the thing though, I've made multiple reports today and nowt has happened at all. I just checked the mods to see who is online and some happened to log out mere minutes ago, so they have been on and off during the day when I filed those reports.

This thread is still standing, the care to taking on said reports and this thread just affirms to me that it's okay to slag off PC users and trample them because they are the smaller base on this site. No amount of words from a mod telling me I am wrong on this, I know because none of said reports have been acted on and said mods have been popping in and out all day and no action has been taken. But when you or me step out of line, we're gone in the blink of an eye, so fast. Take a look at the recently banned list and you'll see that all that's been banned recently are alt accounts from Prinz.

There is no longer a public place on this site to openly talk to mods (without fear of getting hammered) and the issues that plague the site like this thread and multiple users taking stabs here and there. Nothing is going to ever change the way acts like this are allowed, where I have to kick up a fuss to actually get an issue resolved. I keep getting told time and time again to "file a report and we'll look into it" and it hardly ever happens. There are even times when someone goes well out of their way to play ball with someone that you'd have to be dense not to notice, yet acts like that can get looked over easily. I bet you my soul that my mention of what has/hasn't gone down will land me attention instead, rather than the problem with this thread and other users at hand, just watch (I've also made mention of filed reports, so no one can say I didn't or they are flat out lying through their teeth).

All dlc is free so it can only be shark cards then.  It means that console players spend more then pc players.  Probably because it's so easy to just hack or mod yourself free money on gta 5 pc. 

BTW gta 5 pc release 1.5 years after launch not 3 years.  Big difference. 

And it only looks better on pc if you've got the setup.  A large percentage will be playing lesser versions on their pc's or equal. 

You wouldnt believe how easy it is to mod that on PS4 xb1. i have a friend who sells modded gta4 accounts for ps4, i can point you to his youtube channel but i dont know if thats legal on this site.

GTA5 runs on ultra settings on pretty low end hardware now you know lol.

It happens a lot more on PC than on consoles.

I think you need to log off and get some fresh air because this really shouldn't be affecting you this much.

I'm going to throw a lock on this thread for a couple of reasons.

First off, the graph is about additional content revenue content revenue and not total revenue, it's a stretch to make the argument in the title based on that alone. Second, the graph is missing labels and it is comparing one platform against a total of four other platforms, of course PC is going to look like a failure but since we have no listed values, even the lowest value could be a lot in revenue. Third, GTA V sold 5.6 million units on PC according to SteamSpy which is lower than all console versions but 5.6 million is lot of units sold regardless, most games hit nowhere near that mark on console, so unless your standards are unrealistically high I don't understand how you can paint that as a failure. Overall I don't see much reason to keep this thread going, especially that on top of all these issues, it's also gone totally off the rails.
