Ser_Salty Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Honestly, this has gotta be a new low for Rockstar, removing players access to a game they paid full price for because THEY made a mistake. And thousands of people already got the files and are disecting them, this does nothing, they're all backed up.

arno_cat Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I come from consoles and I have always bought rockstar games on release day because I know they never disappoint and have quality standards. Now that I'm on pc and saw this whole mess, I think it's time to stop doing that. Does anybody know if I can refund the games even though I did spend more than 2 hours playing?

On the other hand this definitely feels like it's breaking a consumer protection law somewhere, the way they just removed these games from peoples library with no ETA.

No maybe about it. It's piracy. Take the games and their quality aside as that's a whole other thing for other threads, and it's one of hell of a fudge up for a single player game launch. Can't remember a mistake of this size for an AAA release. Alastair Smyth, Lock n' Stock, deadasdisco and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that's one of the reasons aye but not only. Fine by me delisting the trilogy over that, but I don't see a reason to remove it from current players when it was already out there and people have the files on their PC anyway. It's not like it's uninstalled. 3 minutes ago, Ser_Salty said: This took people what, 10 minutes, to find it?

These kinds of f*ck ups don't really seem to happen with their main games, but this is the second time GSG has left source code leaks in their ports (mobile versions was the first), how was this not verified especially being from an external company? A PC release means people will try to crack it open. deadasdisco, Lock n' Stock, icecoldkilla1467 and 2 others 5 GTANet | Red Dead Network | black lives matter | stop Asian hate | trans lives = human lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spider-Vice Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I wonder if it's because they could still get sued if they let current players play the games with the unlicenced soundtrack in the files. But the music isn't actually active and it's already been distributed so... It's literally the only reason I can think of.

MonoChrome213 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 oh boy, now i feel lucky that i could still play the trilogy on pc with servers down, i even managed to record “running with the night” playing on the radio, will upload to youtube afterwards, coz i bet my ass they are removing it right now with bunch of other songs but hey, maybe that will teach rockstar not to work with outsource companies anymore Lock n' Stock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody at Rockstar should've checked, went "Hey, you forgot to take these files out" and then had them take the files out, check it again to make sure everything that needed removing is removed and only then pushed it onto their servers.

Spider-Vice Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 That does make me wonder if the soundtrack lists sent to the media were actually always correct, GSG just shipped the game with the songs anyway as an oversight, which would be literal piracy. This would mean R* NYC didn't verify the contents either though. arno_cat, Tasty_Pasta, Mainline421 and 4 others 7 GTANet | Red Dead Network | black lives matter | stop Asian hate | trans lives = human lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser_Salty Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I think this might be the straw that broke the camels back. Like, Rockstar already got the occasional bit of bad PR, usually for Online related stuff, but not only are pretty much all media outlets dunking on the remasters, there's this debacle and just bad PR, pissed of consumers and whatever all around. I really hope it's downhill from here and Rockstars profits start going down prompting them to finally change sh*t.

arno_cat Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 "No Digital Game or bundle purchases will be refunded if there is more than two hours of playtime collectively associated with the games in the transaction" Yeah so f*ck me now I can't get a refund because I decided to try your stupid game yesterday. I should have waited for the steam release, at least they would have given back the money for sure. I can't believe I'm about to say this but Rockstar you just lost an unconditional fan.

Just delist the Trilogy and say there's been an issue with the PC version or something. Both things are bad PR, but at least people could play the Online games. Yeah, like why can I not play story mode RDR2 because someone forgot to remove some songs? I've now been forced to download an offline crack for a game I've now bought twice.

Comrade-1981 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Yeah, definitely just put in a refund request. The $60 bucks isn't sh*t to me but I'm doing so as a matter of principle. Installed GTA:SA via Steam, slap it with DEP and pretend the last two weeks on this forum was all a fever dream. None of you are real. You're all in my head.
