Agreed. It could come out in 2020 and as long as it's not broken I'd be ecstatic and honoured that they're finally releasing it on PC.I dont mind waiting..Id rather a working game than a broken game

Plenty... if you already have everyone's cash where's your motivation to release on time? If you had chosen not to spend £50 or whatever ridiculous day 1 price they ask for things these days pre-ordering it in January or whenever you could have spent that money on (several!!) other titles and enjoyed them in the meantime, then still bought the game on release if it turned out to be as good as the hype says...
Though really the reason I brought it up was because everyone before this saying "Relax guys this is Rockstar we're talking about here, they're a quality establishment"... "Ooooo I don't know whether to pre-order - no, no I'm not going to it's a bad idea.......... okay I pre-ordered in the end anyway lolz" etc etc etc. are now on here annoyed and cancelling their pre-orders...
Absolutely pre-ordering is also risking it being crap, that's another good reason not to
No, it's the other way around, if you already have everyone's money, you can release the game in a buggy state, no need to appease the game reviewers with a decent game if you aren't going to get any more money.

I'm a bit gutted about the delay as I was on holiday the week of release so was going to hammer it, but will have to wait instead 
To put it simply, if you don't want to buy it, don't buy it, either now as a pre-order or at release. Wait until reviews are in to satisfy whether it's worth purchasing.
No point bleating on about it tbh as there's nothing you can do apart from vote with your wallets if it's that much of an issue. Toys getting thrown left, right and centre will not make a bit of difference, your money not being spent will though.
If others are willing to wait and are still happy, let them, likewise if you aren't, cancel your pre-order and move along.

Fair enough, but they should have delayed it once and gave a proper date after that instead of messing us about with delay after delay. It has been delayed so many times already.
Let's hope it comes out working well.

No doubt delayed because it's still running like ****
It's been delayed to April 14th, thats hardly summer, it can snow in April.
Or it can be glorious. Regardless it is almost a month into spring.
My enthusiasm for it has just dropped to nearly zero now.
I would just rather pick it up after the summer for more like £15 now.

There is a point to going on about it... voting with wallets is only really effective if *everybody* wakes up to what's happening with developers and DLC and pre-orders in general and we all do it together...
It is precisely people being prepared to throw down full price (or more) for a game that are fueling a lot of the problems which keep coming up time and time again, particularly in the last year or so... and yet nobody seems to learn
Of course though, people can spend their money how they like

Why wouldn't you buy a game just because it got delayed? People crying are the reasons why developers are becoming less transparent during development, there's no incentive to share information until the very end or people will cry when plans don't work out
I think Valve learned a lesson from the vitriol the gaming community can generate when it feels it's been wronged, which in my opinion is why they're so withdrawn compared to other developers.
In fact I think we're at a crossroads now with a lot of the big developers, all of them seem to be drawing criticism in some way. I imagine R* saw the flack that Ubi got for ASSassin's Creed and Watchdogs etc and thought "screw that, rage from delay is better than rage from bad product" so decided to pull it again. What's annoying is that they didn't say this, they just gave another unapologetic Jen-Hsun-esque statement.
I imagine that until the expectation of the game development cycle is normalised into a longer run thing, this sort of delay will be common place as a PR disaster limitation tactic.
