I‘ll buy and play it on day 1…. for PC. Until then it doesn’t exist for me.
No, but I get the sense this is a skewed audience. I would not be surprised at all if this is one of very few corners of the internet not 98% invested in it.
Can’t vote because I use a VPN but no, I try to avoid paying union busters
Oh, that’s bad. I didn’t know they would block VPNs. There was an option to detect unique users, and I chose by IP (but with option Anonymize voter data). For anyone else, I guess the comment section is the only way to express opinion then. Edit: Why the downvote?
Downvotes because you decided to block VPNs… Thats what “by IP” most likely does
Voted “Not Interested” while guessing it was the least common option, turns out it’s close to 60% ! I guess this audience is a little biased towards playing indies, maybe that’s why.
None of the choices apply to me. I’m pretty excited to play it. Not gonna pay for it though.
🫡🏴☠️
Sounds like you’re not interested in buying then
Yeah, but that option would put me in the same box as people not interested in the game at all.
I chose “wait until sale” because there will apparently be no actual physical release, but I’d consider getting the $80 version at some point if there was one. I was fully prepared to just buy it on release, but $80 digital-only left a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t appreciate Rockstar’s blatant greed and it immediately dropped it from “must-buy” to “buy later at some point, maybe.”
Now, if they made a Bully 2? I’d pay $100 for that.
Possibly, in like five years when it’s 15€ or less on pc
I can’t give my money to a union busting company. I’ll play it though. Probably “borrowed” from “a friend”
The poll does not break down if people are not buying it because they object to some aspect of the release or they are not buying it because the game does not appeal to them. It makes it sound like there is a large boycott of the game when it could just be GTA indifferents (like me) stuffing the ballot box.
Why is “buy eventually” not an option? I’m not arranging my life around the PC launch, but I don’t need a sale either.
Agreed. I realized later after reading the comments, that important options such as “maybe later” or something like that is missing.
Yeah, a lot of people wait a few months for the bugs to be ironed out.
lol, I know what people vote for in these kind of poll VS what they actually do on launch day.
I am not convinced.
lol not unless they make a PC version in 10 years.
hopefully this one is a flop and rock star goes out of business.
There is approximately zero chance of this game flopping and putting Rockstar out of business.
