AtomicPunk Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) GTA V broke 7 records Yeah...but did they do it honestly....or fraudulently on broken promises? You get me once, shame on you. You get me twice.....shame on me. I'll need a demo of 6 before I'll lay one penny on it and if I can't get that then I'll just rent it. I'm not getting ripped off 60 bucks again. Those days are over, rover! Edited October 9, 2013 by AtomicPunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
