Despite what most media outlets would like to have you believe, Nvidia did not inadvertently "out" a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V in statements released earlier today.
During an earnings call today, Chris Evenden, a Senior IR Director at Nvidia, may have had his quote misunderstood by most of the gaming community today when he said the following.
Keep in mind that this was also a transcribed quote and may still not be 100% accurate. Regardless, people are taking his comments to be "that Grand Theft Auto V is coming to PC and this Nvidia guy just announced it and oh my God I'm freaking out blargle blarg blargh!"
No, it's not been announced by Rockstar. His quote read more as if he were speaking about upcoming Fall games in general. I seriously believe I'm the only one reporting that this merely seems like a complete misunderstanding from people who just want this to be the truth so badly they cannot even fathom the other possibilities. This is almost as bad as people who see Half-Life 3 conspiracies everywhere.
Wait a minute. He listed three franchises. Three. 3. Half-Life 3 confirmed by guy at Nvidia!
During an earnings call today, Chris Evenden, a Senior IR Director at Nvidia, may have had his quote misunderstood by most of the gaming community today when he said the following.
"The PC market is evolving. As entry level laptops face pressure from tablets. Yet sales of specialty PCs like gaming systems and work stations continue to grow. The disparity reflects how consumers use these different classes of PCs. Many consumers look for PC as a general purpose device they can use for browsing, email, social media video. But much of this can be better served by a tablet. In contrast, gamers are preparing their systems for a strong roster of games coming this fall, including blockbuster franchises, such as Call of Duty: Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto V and Assassin's Creed IV."
