It didn't fly in the console market either, though. Rockstar just don't want to cause any more hatred with the community already being starved for 6 news.
Oh, definitely, but not even remotely comparable to console players buying it on a new system. PC players are used to (usually) keeping their games when they buy them
considering how much people in the PC market like getting bent by Nvidia instead nowadays, I don't think that sentiment means all that much anymore.
Maybe 10 years ago the relevant market had a more appreciable level of self-respect across the board. We're in a new era of endless hypelording, FOMO, grifting, scams and there's no shortage of useful idiots who will fall over themselves to do any and all the corporate asslicking necessary.
Pretty sure there was a period (a year?) you could download the E&E version of GTA to console for free if you already had the game on old gen. I’ve never transferred my character but I def downloaded the game to my PS5 when E&E came out.
Correct. But only Online. You still had to pay for Story Mode seperately if you wanted it (which is not so much of a great loss if you decided to forsake it)
the incentive for console players to upgrade is much higher than pc. the game was going from 30 to 60 fps, pc already has uncapped frame rates so there is no incentive other than faster new cars and slighty better graphics which isn’t worth the cost so they knew they had to give the upgrade for free

kinda sucks that they made console players pay for the same game twice, whereas the pc players are getting the upgrade for free.
happy for pc players tho :)
