Time to dash some hopes, folks. New information has come to light regarding that GTA 4 PC business we found on Malaysia's version of PCGamer. Like it or not, it seems that the subtitle on the cover was a bit misleading.

The first bit of info found relates to what the editor of PCGamer said on their forums. AoiTenshi, a PCGamer editor, says the following on their forums in response to a question about the PC version's release date:

Well, so far Rockstar just haven't released the actual date but they are going to release it... well.. if you've been following the GTA series, you should know how Rockstar is.. Haha.

IGN's Grand Theft Auto blog has more on this as well. They contacted a Rockstar Games PR spokesperson about this issue, and it seems the PR spokesperson "confirmed with Rockstar Games that they've made no announcements regarding Grand Theft Auto IV on PC."

While the assumption of having Grand Theft Auto 4 (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) on the PC seems like a foregone conclusion, making it seem like the big part of your coverage on the game without any actual confirmation tends to lead to an annoying anticlimax, one that might drum up sales in the short term but have negative long-term repercussions.
