Silva, Director of Marketing for Intel\u2019s Premium Notebooks, to discuss the impact on the <a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/59156-gta-5-pc-increasingly-likely.html\" target=\"_blank\">PC market lacking such a big game like GTA 5<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it hurt Halo overall,\u201d said Silva, referring to Microsoft\u2019s persistence to keep Halo an Xbox exclusive. At least with Grand Theft Auto I don\u2019t think it\u2019ll be console exclusive very long. But that\u2019s what happens when you have a brand new launch with two companies that have lots of money trying to make sure they have content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Silva also said that the game is currently a console exclusive due to a business move. \u201cSomebody paid a lot of money to make sure that title was exclusive,\u201d he suggested.<\/p>\n<h6>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/articles\/2013-10-10-sources-grand-theft-auto-5-out-on-pc-early-2014\" target=\"_blank\">Eurogamer<\/a><\/h6>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More GTA news:<\/h3>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58942-gta-online-rockstar-disables-microtransactions.html\">GTA Online: Rockstar disables microtransactions<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58909-gta-online-rockstar-apologises-for-server-issues.html\">GTA Online: Rockstar apologises for server issues<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58856-gta-online-goes-live-today-prepare-for-chaos.html\">GTA Online goes live: prepare for chaos<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58786-sa-school-attack-blamed-on-gta-report.html\">SA school attack blamed on GTA: report<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/58695-gta-online-microtransaction-prices-revealed.html\">GTA Online: microtransaction prices revealed?<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reports suggest that GTA 5 PC version is coming<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":58518,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[625,3309,10999,2603,187,3308,11000,2009,21,193],"class_list":["post-59247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","tag-grand-theft-auto","tag-grand-theft-auto-5","tag-grand-theft-auto-online","tag-grand-theft-auto-v","tag-gta","tag-gta-5","tag-gta-online","tag-gta-v","tag-headline","tag-rockstar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59247","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59247"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59247\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59256,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59247\/revisions\/59256"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59247"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59247"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59247"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
