Tires cost materials and labor to manufacture, but digital games cost nothing to copy.
Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

True, but you create a game for system A, it’s not going to work with system B or C, without additional work required.

Sure, but GTA 6 is 100% already working on PC. Not just because they develop the game on PC, or because they’re building on top of the RDR2 engine (which is already ported to PC), but because they planned to support PC from the beginning, and that type of engine work usually gets ironed out early during development or in pre-production.
I was just pointing out the flaw in your tire analogy though. TBH I’m not saying they should give free copies to people who bought it on other platforms. That’s unprecedented for giant publishers like this. But I am pissed that they’re delaying the PC version since you can be sure it’s a calculated plan to ensure PC gamers buy the game twice. They collected enough analytics and surveys to know that a significant amount of GTA5 PC gamers also own a next-gen console. It’s all very nefarious.

It runs on their specific hardware under specific situations, not any PC. I am just pointing out the flaw in your en-tire logic.

Valve’s steamplay already gives you access to win/mac/linux versions with one purchase so its not like its unheard of.

no but if you wanted you could put your tires on your car
Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Yes, all tires are interchangeable, I forgot.

Maybe with the help of an angle grinder, but sure you could get those wheels on there if you wanted to.
