GTA 5 PC Conspiracy, New GTA Online Title Update for Progress Loss and Other Fixes; GTA 5 Game Breaks 7 Guinness Records

Several reports have been surfacing about GTA 5's PC version amid the still ongoing problems for GTA Online. The latest of these involves an Intel executive who paints a darker picture of just how the GTA 5 works.

Here, it seems that a higher order may be at work, pushing money forward to keep GTA 5 exclusive to consoles only.

According to VG 24/7, Intel executive Chris R. Silva has stepped forward to assure fans that GTA 5 will be having a GTA 5 PC version. "At least with Grand Theft Auto, I don't think it'll be console exclusive very long. But that's what happens when you have a brand new launch with two companies that have lots of money trying to make sure they have content," he said in a statement quoted by VG 24/7.

"Somebody paid a lot of money to make sure that title was exclusive."

Putting aside conspiracy theories, a GTA 5 PC version will indeed add more excitement and achievement for the developers of the game, not to mention the added profits for expanding the market. It may be time to break yet some more Guinness World Records by then.
