Rockstar found a cashcow in gta and are exploiting it as best they can, good for them. Fact is they could do a lot more with the pc ports but don't, this is the 3rd pc port of gta that will most likely not have any kind of multiplayer mode. Cheap cashin that anyone with any sense will download.
Doom 3 is coming to xbox soon as well,

I think you'll find that GTA isn't much of an exception, console gaming is alot different to PC gaming - because of demographic, game companies can rely on what's popular to sell a game - Look at big games like Tony Hawk's line-up, Def Jam games, GTA series, etc
....And when Doom 3 moves to xbox - You'll lose mods and expansions. Just part of the limitations of the console platform. That's why games being ported from console to PC usually turn out shit....Because they can't be fucked adding shit for the PC version that was unavailable for the console because of the limitations. So yeah, the PC version is basically just a little cashcow that the gaming companies have....
I guess they just don't wanna fork out more cash just so the PC market can have multiplayer.
That being said, GTASA is a console game. It was made with consoles in mind. That's the only platform it's going to be worth any money on.
