    Not to defend them because I think it is a bullshit move, however, didn’t GTAV also release first on consoles?

      And it sold gangbusters; making the arguments against that practice a little hard to hold, as frustrating as that is for consumers.

      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.

        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.
