"GTA" and Rockstar Games had a cluttered history involving PC. The latest series of "GTA" was not accessible to PC gamers during its release. Non-console players were made to wait until April 2015. These days, players opt to rely on the modding community for game support rather than stick with the developers. Rockstar Games was also responsible for "Red Dead Redemption." The game is yet to be released to the PC platform while its sequel, until now is only accessible to PS4 and Xbox One gamers.
