Grand Theft Auto 5's PC version might be delayed as a marketing stunt, SocietyAndReligion.com reports, leaving many gamers wondering if it is being held back from launching to bring more attention to it.

"Video game manufacturers have been accused of causing the release date delays so as to build a greater expectation. It is believed to be a marketing stunt in which the product is only rumored to be coming for a season," the website writes.

"The idea is that by the time the product is officially launched, there will be enough knowledge of its existence. This scenario is expected to translate to great sales at the initial launch. In other words the marketing strategy feeds on people's curiosity."
