          Yet! They do this shit all the fucking time. They will stagger their releases and double dip people. This isn’t to say people should pay 50 bucks for a fucking barely touched up game but the pc port thing is probably going to happen in a year or 2.

            I’m kind of glad I have a definitely unmodded switch.

            Also, definitely glad there totally isn’t an emulator that has the letters r p c s 3 in the name.

            I do not condone piracy. Only use these tools if you have legally bought the game when it first came out.

              I don’t exactly condone it either, I enthusiastically embrace and encourage it. It is always morally correct to refuse to reward unethical and predatory businesses practices.

              Support the ones doing it the right way, though.

              (I know that part of your comment might be as sarcastic as the rest, but fuck it, might as well spell it out for the cheap seats 🤷)

                I was worried some may not get the sarcasm. And I thought it’d be best to stay safe from getting it removed from mods who don’t like it.

            RDR is a new low though. It’s a game from 2010, originally on the Xbox 360 and ps3. Being released on switch at full price with no enhancements.

              Oh its fucking stupid but honestly after the whole GTA trilogy thing, would you really want them to touch it up? They have proven they are terrible at it but yeah it being full price is insane.

              A new low? Ever heard of Skyrim? I guess it is a new low for rockstar, but Bethesda’s been doing this successfully for far, far too long.

          GTAV has had quite a bit of polish, comparatively. Of course, I’m sure that if they weren’t mostly doing it to keep GTA Online looking vaguely fresh it would still look like a PS3 game.
