GTA6 is a console exclusive so far, there might be a PC version in a year or two but for now, we have no idea.
But with the hype around its release and the growing use of LLMs to decompile games to be ported to the PC, this has become the high ground. One of the biggest game launches in years of a golden franchise and the PC is cut out get again. But now the people have just enough tools to take it into their own hands.
This is a two stage thing. They need to hack a current PS5/Xbox so they can grab the game image, then have to do the work of a quick port to the PC. Easy to say but difficult to do. A few years back it would have been near impossible but now even with local LLM models you can get agents do a lot of grunt work and make this possible.
There was always a race for clout in the cracking scene since the 1980s of who could get the latest games cracked, they had the change to slap their name and logo on the launcher. Nowadays it isnt just cracking for the same machine, it is liberating it from the host platform. It also kinda makes it open source… So very illegal but that has never stopped people in the past.
I’m not saying it will happen, but there is a highly motivated bunch of people that want to make it happen.

Yep… That tracks. Why is it that almost always the bastards who get to the top. I mean, I know why but it still sucks.

It might have its issues but what about Wetherspoons?

You know in a small way they probably do. Nothing raises nationalistic pride quicker than an attack on the home land. They can yern for the good old days of 15 flags on the front porch while rabidly defending the Raytheon powered death cult raining down on the middle east.

Credit to Sharma, she seems to be pushing to get stuff out the door quick. For better or worse.

Never underestimate Microsoft’s ability to ruin something good. They won’t shut down but by the time it ends up being sold off it will be a shadow of its former self.

A lot of it can also just being having control of the stuff you purchase. If you have a copy of the game that you control, they cannot take it away from you and you have the ability to emulate it to beyond the restrictions of the original hardware.

I think early next year there is going to be a cultural moment in gaming that will be to big to ignore. That being the first team that manages to rip and recompile GTA6 to the PC. It will be the gaming equivalent of before and after the moon landing.

It was dying even before emulation/decomps. The amount of Ps5 exclusives after 6 years (in two weeks) is grim at best.

As Gaben said “Piracy is a service problem”. Unfortunately for Nintendo, if they won’t the people will. I am not a fan of most AI stuff but the whole LLM powered de/recompilation thing this year has been wild to see. I don’t think it has dawned on Nintendo and Sony yet that their castle walls are being torn down and their hardware exclusivity isn’t going to hold like it has in the past.

A big part of this is Nvidia twisting their arms. “Buy this many billion dollars of GPU’s or we cut you out of future GPU purchases. This way we can both look like hyperscalers.”.
Intel used to do that same thing to OEM’s. Force them to buy junk like Pentium D chips so that they could have priority access to Core 2 Duo/Quads of the time.

This was the idea of Sun Microsystems ‘Sun Ray’ desktop in the late 90’s.
A thin terminal that ran almost entirely on the network. Maybe this is why Ellison ended up buying them all those years ago.
- Comment on What is "open browsing"? And why is Reddit getting rid of it? 1 day ago:
I’m guessing they think it would be like Facebook where you need an account to see the bulk of it. But Facebook, Instagram has the whole “Talk to your friends and family” angle and Reddit doesn’t have that.
They are trying to build a moat. Yes, it can keep people in but it also stops new folks from coming in. This might be the Digg moment of Reddit but then we have heard that many times over the years in the past. It is probably just a long slow bleed.

Sooo… your saying Reddit is based because they are slowing model collapse?
In case others do se the joke, yes that is a joke.

Ha, now that is a fun predicament.
I have a friend that had a daughter a few years back, he regretted it from day 1 as he basically lost his old life and wasn’t a fan of his new one. He has hated it at worst, tolerated it at best for the last few years. And yet, he has said to me “I think I am going insane, I hate ever moment of this… so why do I want another kid?!”
A lot of close friends with kids all say the same thing, they love their kids and they take great care of them, but if they knew then what they know now and could go back in time, they would make sure it would never happen.
One couple had their third about 2 years back and made sure that they would not have a forth because they were already financial strained. About 6 months after their third was born we were out and the mother turn to the father and says “I really want a forth now!” a brief pause then “And that is why past me was smart because past me stopped me from doing that.”
Biology is gonna do its thing.
