Hear me out: GTA Online has always worked best as a singleplayer game, and whatever shape GTA 6’s multiplayer off-shoot takes needs to follow suit

Players of GTA Online express frustrations with hackers and hoverbikes, particularly the Pegassi Oppressor Mk II, which disrupts gameplay. Many seek quieter servers or solo play to avoid these issues. In 2020, Rockstar introduced the Cayo Perico heist, allowing players to undertake missions solo for the first time since the game's launch. The game has evolved with complex business ventures and collaborations, but public servers often lead to frustrating experiences due to rogue players. Anticipation for GTA 6 includes expectations for chaotic gameplay and potential 64-player servers, but players desire the freedom to explore without disruptions. Rockstar has not released standalone single-player DLC, and early sales projections for GTA 6 suggest £7.5 billion in revenue within the first two months. The future of single-player story DLC remains uncertain, but many players hope for the option to play online solo.

Lenovo says upcoming Android PCs will have “limited desktop features, app compatibility issues” and more problems when compared to Windows PCs

Lenovo has provided insights on Google's upcoming Android PC platform, highlighting its suitability for lightweight tasks such as web browsing, document editing, and media consumption. However, it warns of limitations compared to traditional systems like Windows 11, including restricted desktop features, app compatibility issues, and gaming performance constraints. Users may face a learning curve due to the lack of advanced file management and multitasking capabilities. Android PCs are not designed for high-performance gaming and may struggle with desktop-class applications. Despite these drawbacks, Lenovo believes Android PCs could perform well in the low-end market, especially on older hardware or low-powered devices, offering better energy efficiency than Windows 11. Qualcomm supports the potential of Android PCs, predicting they will improve over time, with rumors suggesting initial device shipments could begin next year.
