Wow I am so incredibly surprised.
Anybody remember when Rockstar used to parody American capitalism, not embody it?

They were always known as being a crunch-heavy studio. The only reason they weren’t pulling their current mtx-riddled, always-online modal before is that the tech wasn’t there.

Gamers don't care. They'll buy the thing even if it meant selling their grandmother.

Most gamers won’t even hear about it. Just seeing the article already puts you in the “highly informed” bucket

I’m not so sure. When it comes to a conscious decision to either pirate or buy, crap like this often helps with the guilt.

You should feel absolutely zero guilt about pirating “triple-A” software. It’s a morally neutral act. The money they would’ve got from your purchase is so insignificant to them that it wouldn’t even show up on their annual returns. Assuming they file them.
