Tier 2 · Original-source citation @videotech

@videotech X cohort citation (Session 5 per-handle recall): original-source rationale for why Rockstar likely avoids a day-one PC release (anti-modding, datamining prevention, optimization windows); PS5 expected to dominate even with a simultaneous PC release.
