With GTA 6, I really would not worry about this, given just how much interest there is in it. Someone will crack whatever they come up with.
...and that could all be avoided by not trying to cash-in twice by delaying the PC release by a year.

You have the same game on PC and console but you have to pay twice to play it on both, despite the engineering effort to adapt the game between them being minimal relative to the whole development effort. But they charge full price for each version as if they go through the entire development effort for each individually. The players will be just as honest about saving money as the devs or publishers are about making money.
