Hasta La Gadget!

On the last day of last month, we did bring you word that the Grand Theft Auto 5 has touched the 100,000 petition mark, and here we are just a wee bit after that (where most folks would be spending most of their weekend away from the computer) receiving news that the number of signatures on the petition for Grand Theft Auto 5 to appear onto the PC have surpassed the 110,000 mark – a few short of 111,000, in fact. It had always been Rockstar’s “policy”, if you can call it that, to deliver their signature Grand Theft Auto titles to the PC platform sooner or later, regardless of whether folks petitioned for it, but to see this petition snowball into such a figure within a short period of time is definitely something worth mulling over.

Of course, if you were a PC gamer, you too, would want Rockstar to get off on the right footing by ensuring that the Grand Theft Auto 5 version on the PC would be a well done port instead of a gimped version just to satiate the wants of the masses. You know what they say, ask, and it shall be given unto you…

There has been plenty of buzz surrounding Grand Theft Auto 5 in recent weeks, where we do know that the game itself has been confirmed to arrive on the PS3 as well as Xbox 360 sometime in spring next year, but other than those two consoles, there has been no mention of other platforms to date. If one were to turn back the clock and look at history objectively, majority of Rockstar games do make their way to the PC platform, and we have more or less an idea on when that would happen, but when it comes to GTA 5, the issue of a PC version of the game remains in the balance, as Rockstar’s Dan Houser mentioned that other platforms are under “consideration.”

This is what Houser said in a recent interview, “Everything else is up for consideration. That’s all I can give you. The main thing is we are not… we are a third-party publisher. We’re not Nintendo, we’re not Sony, we’re not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there’s the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market. If that’s on Apple we put something on Apple. Wherever it might be. I think that’s the fun in what we do. We see ourselves as a content company that uses technology. We don’t make it; we use it to make the most fun stuff.”

Do you hope for it to hit the PC platform if you don’t own either one of the two consoles that GTA 5 is headed for?
