They have had amazing free marketing and they still want to sue people.
It even made me a bit curious and I think GTA is dead to me after San Andreas, and Rockstar can go fuck themselves because every game they make just feels janky.
I’ll be very disappointed if they’re running windows on bare metal
Or you could let Rockstar release the game and let your shareholders take a 0.5% hit to their stock portfolio and make it up in the games actual release…
No no no that makes too much sense and the shareholders won’t get a 1.5% bump if you release it before the next shareholders something something.
I’m not even going to buy GTA6 until I can buy with a disc.
You all don’t care about me, enjoy your game… Until it’s disc based I won’t be buying it.
I haven’t played GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas or GTA 4 for a while… I’ll play those instead.
I understand wanting something physical but at the same time I really don’t see why a disc helps in this day and age, even if you have the disc they can take away access to your game at any time and you just install the game to your console anyway. Why does this piece of plastic actually help?
Why do y’all argue about things you don’t understand?
If a game is on disk, and a lot still are, then no, it cannot be taken away from you without literally entering your home with a warrant at least where I live.
Owning the physical disk in America at least also grants you the right to download and emulate later.
There’s also the fact that having a physical routine adds emotional attachment.
Also, and this really needs to be asked, WHY ARE SO MANY OF YOU FIGHTING FOR LESS OPTIONS? Seriously what the fuck?
Read what they wrote. These things have happened:
You buy a physical disc. It will not play until you update the console. This is a hard coded minimum version that is on the disc.
This has also happened in the reverse: a physical disc quit working after a firmware update, but the digital version worked fine, meaning the license transferred to the digital version after the update. Would the physical disc keep working? only if the dev thought it should.
The only answer is: you dont own the hardware. You have no control digital or not. Do not buy hardware you cant own.
You buy a physical disc. It will not play until you update the console. This is a hard coded minimum version that is on the disc.
the data is still available, somebody needs to figure out how to extract it and patch out the check, and it’s playable again. the patch becomes easier to distribute than the full game, both because of its size, public judgment and maybe the legal situation too. the fact that you have the disk is effectively proof of ownership.
You make it sound simple and absolute. But, our rights are severely curtailed even in the U.S. via the DMCA. If your console, or even the game code on disk, requires an okay from the manufacturer as a “copyright protection” and you bypass that in any way, you have just committed a felony and are considered by the State a valid target for violence.
Of course, simply accepting the lack of physical media doesn’t help make the situation any better.
I uhh… I don’t mean on PS5. They can’t take away my PS2 and PS1 games.
They can surely cancel my right to play My disc based PS4 and PS5 games but I can just disconnect my console from the Internet and keep playing those games.
I’m 37, I prefer disc based games and I only buy digital when it’s at least 50% off or more.
If Cyberleek isn’t shitposting out of his ass and actually has a deadman’s switch which could leak the build in its entirety online, then this could be a very dumb move on Take Two’s end. The authorities would need to go full Ross Ulbricht on his ass and hope they can control the switch.
What’s even sadder is that T2I and Rockstar have been such greedy litigious fucks over the years that I’m genuinely rooting for a crypto scammer who has used this entire leak to promote his shitcoin over them.
Just the fact that the GTA6 Extended Look will be a timed Netflix exclusive gives me the ick. That’s one step removed from releasing game trailers as exclusive PPV events.
If we’re gonna start treating game reveals like UFC and WrestleMania then I’m out.
Once again, Microsoft sells you snitchware.
I can’t believe people expected it to look like the trailer cutscenes.
Guilty of that. I’m surprised (from the leaks, so take a massive grain of salt with that) it looks and feels like Red Dead Redemption 2, but in Florida, with cars…
Any use in alternate clients?
Ngl, the fact that they’ll probably block me out of playing because of my OS of choice already killed the hype for me
Single player will probably work. It did for V. That’s all I give a shit about personally. That said, this is kinda feeling like a yoho kinda game to me.
Some games even block you out of single player if you don’t have that kernel malware installed sadly. Battlefield 6’s single player for instance.
For sure, I’m just looking to V as precedence, but things could certainly change.
OS of choice in this case being anything that isn’t a game console.
I am not going to buy the game multiple times, if I’m going to get it I’m gonna get it on PC where I can get mods because as sure as hell I have no interest in GTA online
After seeing the leaks, I can now understand the panic. This can result in a lot of hype going away and cancelled pre-orders due to the fact that it just looks like another GTA game and not some miracle that many tried to portray.
Probably a reason they started pre-orders before showing gameplay.
Manage your expectations people.

yeah I was wondering how they’d pull off some kind of revolution in rendering tech… is there a source to see these leaks?
is there a source to see these leaks?
There’s cyberleek subreddit, last leak was posted 3 hours ago
eh, I can wait lol. reddit… eeuuhhehehehhhhghhhghh… thanks tho
Just wear a condom
that’s lolworthy
Imagine the legal theory of their case against the leakers. “Members of the jury, these leaks caused my client to experience irreparable economic harm when they showed what a piece of shit this game was instead of allowing my client to hoodwink nostalgia driven nerds for an undoubtably countless number of pre-orders.”
Preorders for games that are going to be available digitally… it’s wild shit.
“Bu-but you can download it be-before hand and play it once the clock show the right time!!”
Not to defend anybody involved here but the article does not say that the request has been fulfilled, only filed
Couldn’t give a rat’s ass about GTA.
You’re so cool! I wish I could be like you!
So much so that you could
n’tbe bothered to comment about it!Cool!
Oh shit, I’m fucked!
No, wait, never mind, I use Linux 🤣
cat /etc/machine-idcan microsoft still throw a GDID on a linux machine if you sign into a microsoft account while on linux? maybe not as powerful as on windows, but still as a unique identifying cookie or something?
If you allow everything and all cookies most things are possible in theory. In practice most distros are secure enough and most users savvy enough to not accept everything blindly that it probably doesn’t happen.
If you run their software, yeah they can fingerprint your device. That includes if you visit their websites — it’s completely feasible to take a deterministic reading of various unique qualities of your machine that can be used to later identify your device as the same device in another circumstance. That doesn’t inherently provide lineage to anything identifying you, but it can easily lead to something.
Unless you have a very unique device, I imagine it’s not possible to do this posthoc with standard data collection from web traffic. You’d need to be intentionally doing this beforehand for it to be reliable.
Though… I wonder if there are certain softwares where telemetry can reasonable be used to fingerprint a device. Maybe a browser like Edge — though, who’s using Edge on Linux lol?
Telemetry is usually non-identifiable (by law if your country follows GDPR).
This form if ID is also pretty circumstantial. That might fly for advertisers but in a court of law I have my doubts.
I would not be surprised if they used minecraft for it, which is why I had my initial concern/question.
Its probably got a larger install base than any non-corporate microsoft product outside of an OS. Which would make it a fantastic snooping tool
No.
There’s been more efforts to catch someone because of a game than millionaires evolved in pedofilia and human traffic
It’s not a “game”, it’s a “product”.
And they will do the same when food and water becomes a “product” too.
…Food and water are products. Tons and tons of food are destroyed every single day because giving it away to those in need might affect profit margins.
Companies like Nestle buy up the water rights from under people just to bottle it and sell it right back to them. There is no “when”
The only thing we will not get before GTA 6 is the full and unredacted Epstein files.
🤞🤞🤞
If they’re not using burner accounts on disposable/amnesiac Linux installs, its kind of on them.
Hold up I misplaced my tiny violin
