Petition for 'GTA 5 PC' Going Strong
In lieu of the "GTA 5" malware that has duped thousands of users, the "GTA 5 PC" petition started by Mike Julliard has already exceeded its expectations as it reaches 621,734 supporters.
The latest video posted on the "GTA 5" petition's official Change.org page seems to imply that a push for 1 million is not that far in the works. And already, there has been talk that with enough support for the "GTA 5 PC" version. The developers may just release what the fans need.
Quoting a report from GameSpot, the petition organizer reiterated that Dan Houser of Rockstar Games may consider the "GTA 5 PC" so long as there is a market for it. Given how there are people who are actively looking for the "GTA 5 PC" version, as well as petitioning for it online, it's impossible for the idea to take root.
In fact, one possibility may be hinted at in the DVDASA podcast as reported by GamesRadar, where it was said that "GTA 5" may get a re-release in 6 months. Speculations point to the possibility of either a next-gen release or the "GTA 5 PC" version. But since all the main "GTA" games have released on the PC, it is still a big possibility.

Funny and Embarrassing Video of 'GTA 5 Online' Gamer Leaked
More people are now enjoying the "GTA 5 Online," as the traffic and crashes finally lifted a bit. But it seems that one gamer enjoyed the game a little too much.
Reported by Metro, a "GTA 5 Online" gamer was caught and taped talking to one of the strippers in the game during one of the online sessions. The sad part is that another gamer sharing in the same session was the one who leaked the video online, which has now reached quite a number of views on its YouTube page. The video lasts for only 3 minutes, but on the page, it is supposedly a portion of a 15-minute session with the same sounds and quotes thrown over and over again.
Some of the things that the "GTA 5" gamer was saying included affirmations of the stripper's qualities, from sense of humour to her apparent similarity to Beyonce. And you can easily hear the gamer laughing in the background of the video.
"When you hop into GTA Online and head to the strip club, everyone else in the session can hear you. This has happened several times. I suspect the game prevents you from hearing the roaring laughter (and the pleas to stop) from the rest of the people in your session," said a Robert Brooks, the owner of the YouTube account and uploader of the video.
Lesson learned: be cautious of how you use the microphone when playing on "GTA 5 Online." While you may need to use the microphone during missions, the video may make you think twice about making the moves on strippers.
Thankfully, the world will never know who the "GTA 5" gamer talking to his stripper is, but it may be a matter of time when his quotable quotes become possible meme fodder.
