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, than PC players are.
Is this type of comment helpful for you? Are people supposed to follow-up with some comment about PC players are sheep and will be buy the game for consoles and then buy it PC when it releases there?
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.

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.
“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.
Lol, every pc gamer I’ve ever encountered has to have the latest video card due to FOMO. The thought of only getting 59 FPS keeps them up at night, keeps them from playing the games they’ve already paid for.

What does PC piracy have to do with console sales?
Some PC sales are better than none.

This platform war nonsense is tiring.
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.
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.

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.
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.
In this argument…
Mobile eclipses probably all platforms combined.
Good thing no one said that
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?

…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.
my friend, you need to have a nice refreshing bowl of chill the fuck out.
Cause you are literally just inventing narratives to be pissed about.
Just calling out nonsense when I see it.
Think of your family and calm down and stop getting irrationally angry at your own imagination
It’s OK if someone disagrees with you on the internet, you know. Your world isn’t going to end, haha.
Says the guy raging and inventing narratives to be angry at.
You seem just as angry as I am? Why else would you still be responding? Just downvote me and move on.

Wow, I’m amazed that you’ve met literally every PC gamer on the planet.
how many years did that take?
actually all it took was one discord call. they all answered
Obviously not, since I have no recallection of this, and have zero interest in the latest overpriced bullshit video cards.
well, we didnt talk to random idiots so maybe thats why
So what’s the truth
his username. look at it
I’m aware, I just couldn’t miss the chance to call gamers idiots. Because we are.
