Though the PC release of Grand Theft Auto V has been widely speculated – and indeed petitioned for – for quite some time, Intel has stated that it expects Rockstar’s crime opus to be ported to the platform “before very long.” That’s according to Chris Silva, the company’s marketing director, who believes the open-world title – which has been a console exclusive hitherto – eluded PC because “someone paid” a sum of money to keep it away from that ecosystem.
