Some will, no doubt but I think the number will be less than GTA V. Take Two/R* burned a lot of bridges with how they handled V's run and I see a lot of people not returning, certainly not in the same capacity, at least. I for one won't be bothering with VI, not until it's available from a certain type of ship, at least.

You underestimate marketing and hype. Gaming is a bigger beast than it was 11 years ago and people buy any game put in front of them. You think they are gonna sit there waiting while their friends and everyone around them on the internet is playing it?

For those who are PC-only gamers, there's not much choice. By the time it finally comes out, there'll be much less hype already. As for the console yuppies... Only the really committed ones will skip it but I'm not expecting much from them anyway. The gaming market is as boned as it because of them already.

I will just pirate it, if it comes to PC. Arrr.

Same here. Take-Two/R* lost my confidence. I'm not paying for their BS anymore.
