Snapmatic and R*'s Bullsh*t

[charlesX987]

So ive linked my social club to my account, have gold, checked privacy settings, and even unlinked and relinked my xbox account to my social club account, but every time i try to upload snapmatic pics, it says something like "Snapmatic features are currently unavailable on this account due to eligibility restrictions." Anyone know any fixes? All Rockstar tells me is that they are "working on it."

[gear999]

You have to be older than 18 apparently.

I also have this idiotic problem too. F*cking Rockstar and their "restrictions"

[DevsNzL]

I read somewhere something to do with age. But I honestly don't know

[Deadly Aviator]

You can't complain about not being able to use snapmatic if you are under 18 when you shouldn't even be on the game since it's 18+...

[XxSk8terDOODxX]

Well not necessarily 18+ it's 17+ and there's a sh*t ton of kids on the game allready. No matter what restrictions

[Friendly Lava Lamp]

It's just a feature they know they can restrict underage players from using. It is unfortunate, just be lucky they don't ban underage users like this. They clearly know your age and your ID and are able to block you from using a feature, so they could potentially block you from joining online.

 

But you know, they cant sell cash cards if no one is playing.

[K-ROSE]

Snapmatic is for adults. It's really as simple as that. Grow up.

 

If some Aspergers high schooler shoots up his school dressed in a trenchcoat R* doesn't want the negative press of the news media crawling through his Snapmatic album for "ignored signs."

[Malibu454]

Change your age on your xbox or ps profile.

The game is rated for adults to play. If your parents had to buy it for you, you shouldn't really be playing. A 14y.o just killed his 46y.o dad and 13y.o brother with a .45, a shotgun and a machete. Seriously. He claims Trevor inspired him. Thanks to little creeps like him playing games daddy bought him, he is on $1M bail and set for life in prison.

They should bring back rated AO (adults only)

Maybe that'll thin the population of kiddies

[saintsrow]

It's a good thing that Sony and Microsoft do not enforce an age restriction on the actual game players -- i.e., not even being able to play the game at all. That would destroy about 75% of Rockstar's GTAV / GTA0 player base.

[darkwar854]

Age has nothing to do with it. I could take pictures before online was released, then it screwed up on me and now I can't.

Stories like this are due to poor parenting, not video games.

 

 

I have this problem too. I'm 17, I'm legally able to purchase this game in the US with my own money. I should be able to access all of the game's features.

 

This issue is just silly.

[Xyn]

OP, good to know you're under 18 & can't get the most out of a game you shouldn't own.

It's funny, though, that millions of 8-14 year old's were smarter than you in lying about their age. Rule #1 from online gaming 101 since DooM.

And sales, since major retailers will refuse to shelf it....R*'s totally going to do that.
No one wants to be AO....& it still wouldn't stop the influx of kids.

My xbox live account turned 18 yo a few days ago and snapmatic is working now

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it...

 

Who the f*ck here has not played an M rated game while being underage?

 

Seriously...

 

Chances are, if you've played Vice City, or GTA 3, you were PROBABLY underage at the time...

Along with absolutely crippling sales of the game, but whatever.

 

Not to mention, it's easy as hell to lie about your age online. Just enter a birth date over 18...

Can't vote. Can't buy cigarettes. Can't legally enter into a contract. Technically every time you've agreed to the Terms & Conditions it hasn't counted.

[Masochron]

I just find it funny that the people bitching about underage kids playing the game, most likely have played their fair share of Mature games themselves when they were underage...

 

lol, SMH.

[Con9mm]

Snapmatic works fine for me all the time.

Maybe you just have ugly pictures. lol

Try changing your emails age to over 18

Yes, but back in my day we didn't bitch about it on a forum when we couldn't do something we shouldn't be doing anyway.

GTA Vice City came out in 2002. Sooo anyone who's 30 or over now was "allowed" to play either of those games. You realize that alot of ppl who were kids when NES and Master System dropped still game and are now in their 30s and 40s? I'd think most of those complaints come from older gamers.

[Malibu454]

The Op never said how old he was. How does everyone know that's the reason?

Well, How old are you OP?

Is there no way to change the info on your acct if you are underage?

[xInfamousRYANx]

I just wanna take pics of my damn cars but cockstar says no. I am 17 amd legally able to buy the game

[Ai®a©ob®a]

Age has everything to do with it.

 

If you're posted your age as under 18 then you are banned from using it just because you could use it before doesn't matter R* added these restrictions with the 1.11 patch

Nope people have tried this and it doesn't work

[Art:Vandelay]

Reminds me if the cloud commerical, "'don't fire the IT people fire the internet' 'your fired internet"

[Fail_At_GTA]

Sucks to be a kid. Good thing I'm an adult so I don't need to worry about any restrictions.

So you can see tits and a naked 50 year old man, but you can't take a picture of your car? That doesn't make sense.

Plus, this is what R* says about this issue -

 

We have received some reports about this error message and are looking into it now. If you are interested in receiving an automatic email notification as soon as there is more information, please log into the Support Site and click Subscribe at the top of this page.

 

So R* would of told us if it was caused by being underage.
