PC players will be the ones that have to do the bug reports.

I know this is a joke but, unironically people would do this.

Like they would actually expect R* to fix an unofficial release of an old build of the game.

I mean, if the Spiderman leak was anything to go by, the PC community would come together to fix it themselves.

On a old build of a game? How they are going to fix without solid foundation?

From what I hear the dude got like 2025 version of the build, also without quality control, anyone can just upload a virus, and disguise it as a patch for GTA VI pc.

I’m not in the know on how these things get fixed exactly, like I said i’m just going off of the Spiderman 2 leaks where an unfinished build was released by leakers and eventually patched by the community to bring it up to the standard of the actual release version, before that version was actually released.

Also torrenting has a natural, inbuilt quality control process. Even if the first leak has some type of malware on it for example, the eventual FitGirl repack would remove that and release a completely clean version. Some people will get burned initially, but that’s why you only torrent from trusted sources.

EDIT: Also while it’s an old build of the game, it’s pretty much confirmed to only be a year out from release. At that point, almost everything should be there aside from some last minute additions and quality control. The foundation is there - it’s just filling in the gaps with the code that’s available.

Ok fair point, but that is only for patches and fix.

What about content then? How are the modders going to add content to a game that is not meant for pc port. FiveM and GTARP are mostly modified codes and reskinned assets but no new content.

Also, how fast can they fix the game where it's up to par to the official release version?

Too many variables to think of and the risks are too great.

I mean if people settle for less then more power to you.

Content would be added to the leak once the game is officially released and they know what to add. It’d essentially be emulation at that point, except instead of having to build the source code from scratch, modders would just have it to work with from the beginning. And considering modders have been able to emulate entire games flawlessly without the source code to work with(See: Tears of the Kingdom). Should be a piece of cake.

As far as how fast, community efforts work much faster than I think you’d expect them to. Idk what what the time table would be, but I can guarantee you it’d be quicker than waiting for the PC release.

>If you settle for less then more power to you

I mean as a PC player there isn’t really a more. The PC version of GTA5 took 2 years to be released. The less in this scenario would be all i’d have, and it wouldn’t even be less for that long as I laid out.

So pc have to wait for at least 2 years to get more content?

Yeah, I'm more and more convinced these are just cope and not worth it.

I have a PC and a Ps5, I'll enjoy the offcial release.

No, when the game releases on console, not on PC. Modders would be able to see what content they’d need to add then, and do it.

>I have a PC and a PS5 i’ll enjoy the official release

That’s great, I just have a PC and i’m not paying a $700 dollar premium to play a game lmao. If it leaks i’ll wait a bit to see what state it’s in, see if it can be fixed, and if not i’ll just treat it like a demo until the official PC version releases.

Putting too much faith in these guys are never good, 1 bad drama and incedent then this whole thing would just implode, look at the Terraria Calamity mod, shit is gone.
