looks good but i'm not buying it lol

stupid penalty for making me wait for PC release is that i will steal the game

Then it isn't piracy right? It's just downloading software

But that means that poor people get to enjoy things too? Do price tags mean nothing to you?! Soon they’ll think they can do other things like politics and law, will anyone think of the nepo-babies?

[-] dmir@gehirneimer.de 6 points 2 weeks ago

Someone named rabber could be talking about more dire measures than piracy when referring to stealing. Never know.

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder what the DRM situation will be like.
Will they have some hopped up version of Arxan that's gonna be super hard to crack?
Or is the PC Release delay good enough that they aren't particularly worried about piracy?

Of course given the popularity and antecipation I'm sure there will be all forms of groups trying to take a stab at it, but I still wonder how it'll go down.

The game won't run without an armed agent pointing a gun at your head who will pull the trigger if you ever start enjoying it the wrong way.

GTA IV was the last one I've ever owned. Been tempted by 5:00 a few times but I have got enough games that I'll never play. I don't need it as well.

[-] mrmisses@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

It's worth it just for the single player story. I've never been interested in their online crap

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

From the clip GTA6 feels like Reacher, the video game.

[-] rabber@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

Epic Games gave it away for free a few times, that's how I have it

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, but then you have to use the EGS and shudders

[-] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Idk if they changed it, but running the exe worked just fine awhile ago. I

[-] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Use Heroic instead.

[-] Eldritch@piefed.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That might be the only way I would get it. But somehow I've missed all those LOL.

[-] sevenoverthree@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty much. Steal it now and buy it in a few years during a holiday sale for 20 bucks.

[-] RogueBanana@piefed.zip 20 points 2 weeks ago

After all the shit rockstar games are doing, why would you still pay them?
