I signed the one that they SHOULD release on PC.
Why? Because the reasoning behind this petition is the worst reasoning ever.
Consoles have pirating too, don't try to deny it. Sure, maybe the PS3 is mostly secure but the XBOX360 is still a pile of exploitable holes.
Also, not all PC gamers pirate games. A good part of the pirates even buy the game afterward if they end up liking it. (Make good games, get money. Make bad games, get pirated)
I doubt this is petition will make it further then the digital paper schredder at R* anyway.
And just to make it clear: I do not care the slightest bit for GTA at all. I just don't want idiots who don't do their homework to get proven right.

As linked in the first article the OP posted:
note how their goal is 500,000 and they are well on their way of making it. As opposed to the measily 1000 goal of the other one.

Meh, can't really expect people to know an unofficial term for a 30 year old system to be honest.

Partially. Game creators not bothering to research more into piracy plays an equal part.
I remember the last time I heard this was "Super Streetfighter 4 won't be coming to PC, because you PC gamers pirate everything". About six months later they announced they were porting it. But hey, let's just punish all the legit customers because a piracy factor is in play. Wait, so why are they releasing it on consoles again?

I always find it funny when I go onto a torrent site and see the console versions come out first and get the most seeders/leechers compared to the PC version.

Spoiler the GTA V version would be online for both console cracked before launch day.
The reason why would because crackers / hackers have their sources, so the only gate for them is to get cracked console and get a copy of the cracked game.
So lets face the fact that people that do this will keep on doing this.
PC market is very massive, people that invest in a 1k+ PC gaming machine just to play games.
These people ARE the target market for this game.
GTA V needs to break ~$266 million to get even.
If after these facts anyone thinks that Rockstar not going to release a PC version of the game, I'm deeply sorry for you.
Sure they would drag it to bank at most of the console versions, as any smart marketing would do.
As for me i'm going to buy a PS3 version and still wait for the PC version.
P.S. At least we will get a nice list of idiots out of this petition.

let's see if you made any point.
google "idiotic"
google "show of hands" expressed by people raising their hands.
So you totally agree with "P.S. At least we will get a nice list of idiots out of this petition."
Thank you.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure He has a pretty good grasp on the word 'idiotic'. let me restate his post for you.
He said that "GTA V version would be online for both console cracked before launch day. The reason why would because crackers / hackers have their sources, so the only gate for them is to get cracked console and get a copy of the cracked game."
So lets face the fact that people that do this will keep on doing this." this means that not releasing on Pc due to piracy would be in fact stupid maybe even 'Idiotic' be cause It will be pirated heavily anyway. the rest of his post also give reasons that support the idea that not releasing their game on pc is dumb. While the poster may have qualms about petitions or trying to give a show of hands as you call it, He has said nothing about them in this particular post and as such your post is invalid.

I was referring to the singular remark that the petition would essentially be a list of idiots, which I was pointing out as just a petty jab for people trying to do something positive. That was, of course, before I realised the petition was actually against a PC release, heh. My post had nothing to do with the DRM/piracy side of his post.

"So PC gamers learn their lesson and stop stealing games."
PC GAMER'S ABUSE!!!
Yeah, right. The only reason PC gamers are known to steal games is because they don't hide, they just tell everyone what they've done. :-/
(I don't give a damn about GTA V. :P)

Console plebes need to learn their lesson and stop pirating... er I mean trading games/buying used games (same end result 0$ for the publisher).

Whoa, calm down ^^
Nobody is gonna care what those 1000ish dipshits want. There are thousand of petitions like that that end with being forgotten because they hold no meaning.

There could be 100,000 "signatures" but in the end Rockstar is going to evaluate if it is cost effective/worth it to make the game for PC.
Comment has been collapsed.
I believe they are already going to make it, but it will come out later, plus why hate? Any true gamer respects every system other gamers decide to use that it could run on, children don't and cause wars like "xbox is better" or ps3 is better" or "pc is better" and with out computers, we would be no where. Plus the mods people make for computers games... just holy fuck, like gta4 ironman mod, custom cars, all sorts of amazing shit.

My post on this :

WE have Saints Row 2-3-4 that are 100 hundred better than shitty rockstar ports as LA noire and GTA$4

uhh... I'm really not good at math, but if they sell a PC game 10 mio times and have it pirated 20 mio times but still make 30 mio dollars by that, wouldn't that be 30 million more dollars than if they sold the game 0 times just for the sake of not having it pirated?
Or do they really expect the 10 million guys that would have bought it for the PC will now buy a stupid useless console plus their overpriced console version of that game? Maybe 1/10 is that stupid/rich. All others will just move on and play one of the other million games there are.

Bet you'll be sorry to know that they haven't decided to port it to the next-gen consoles then, huh? http://www.cinemablend.com/games/GTA-5-PS4-So-Fast-Rockstar-Says-58643.html

That's funny, I guess console fan boys are to busy playing with their underpowered machines using outdated hardware to notice you can pirate for consoles too. I guess they are still jealous of our specs.
But even if they don't realise it they will loose the well, huge amount of people that would buy it (skyrim is a good example here) so it would be them loosing millions while us PC players just playing different games.
