Warning about Rockstar Games and "GTA IV"…

Warning about Rockstar Games and "GTA IV"…

Be warned that the game Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC is a total flop because Rockstar Games have included that a number of obligatory online services be installed and signed up before the game can work even if you’re not interested in online play, including…

“Rockstar Social Club”

“Games for Windows Live”

“SecureROM service (DRM)”


The game is NOT marked as an online only game as it should be so the company, Rockstar Games is engaging in false advertising and unashamedly ripping customers off!

Most dissapointed customers myself included, have had to spend 2-3 hours unistalling it and all the bloat utilities including ".net" it installs and toss it, so keep that in mind if you were planning on purchasing it!

More complaints about this game from other users at Amazon…

I’ve enjoyed countless hours playing good games on PCs for decades, and there's no reason why people should have an additional metal box with cables lying around the house when they can play games perfectly well on their computers!

And not to mention that you’ve chosen the wrong thread to bitch about your stupid game consoles... :roll:

If you want to play games, then I would advise you invest in a playstation 3, wow its fantastic.
We play games online with really good graphics, and the children play games with other children joining in from all over the world!!!
you can also record dvds, and paly bluray dvd's, it does everything all in one.
Apple tv is good too.
