This story seems highly unlikely but worth knowing nonetheless. Two jokers emailed Rockstar technical support to tell them they were having trouble with the non-existent PC version of GTA IV. Support man emails back and tells that can’t possibly be right, because GTA IV for PC is still in development. What a helpful chap.

Following a complaint about surround sound in a free version of GTA IV for PC (which once again, doesn’t exist) helpful techie Anthony said, ” The PC version of GTA IV has not even been announced for release and is still in development so is not about to be released on a website we have no knowledge of.”

Whoops.

Helpful techie Anthony didn’t reply to their probing again – he was replaced by matter-of-fact techie Richard. Read into that what you will. The question really is, would tech support know anything about game release dates? After all, tech support for games which aren’t actually on the market isn’t going to be very high in demand, is it? That was certainly techie Richard’s take.

“We are unsure when the PC version of the game will be released as we are only technical support and do not receive information on the matter. I would suggest keeping an eye on www.rockstargames.com for any information.”

Still, notice it’s “when” rather than “if”. Stay put for the obligatory denial from Rockstar.
