  Piracy isn’t stealing.

    Then it isn’t stealing 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?

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

  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 with a gun pointed at your head who will pull the trigger if you ever start enjoying it the wrong way.

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

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

  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.

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