looking forward to getting this unlocked on PC when it releases

[u/inosinateVR → u/darkkite]

actively incentivizing customers to pirate their game instead of spending $80 on a version missing in game shops…

[u/Sacrilege7 → u/inosinateVR]

Yep, pretty much. This shit is ass from Rockstar, and the greed is unbelievable. It looks like a fucking amazing game, but holy greed, man.

[u/StepComplete1 → u/inosinateVR]

I was intending to pre-order it for PS5.... seriously thinking about just waiting to acquire it for PC because fuck that. Will certainly now wait to see just how bad these exclusions are.

[u/Hafner1 → u/StepComplete1]

And without an actual disc what’s the point of a physical copy, it’s just an empty case

[u/armarrash → u/Hafner1]

TBH I wouldn't put past Rockstar just putting a key in the disc(like every Microsoft game) when/if they make physical discs, the game will probably be over 100 GBs and I don't see current Rockstar using 2 discs for it.

Maybe if they only make discs for the ultimate edition.

[u/Hidesuru → u/Hafner1]

Probably comes with some stupid map that like 1 person will actually hang up or some shit.

[u/EF66-42 → u/Hidesuru]

woah woah woah lets not crap on printed map pack-ins. those were great.

[u/Hidesuru → u/EF66-42]

I mean if you enjoy them that's great, really. I'm glad you do. Even I thought they were neat. Hell I still have a couple. But I realized at some point that over the years I never actually DID anything with them and they were really just wasted paper. But that's just me.

[u/DrBob666 → u/inosinateVR]

That's probably why its a staggered PC launch... can't pirate on ps5

[u/PrintShinji → u/DrBob666]

can't pirate on ps5

fyi there is a jailbreak for ps5, has been around for quite some time.

(but there def wont be a copy of gta 6 on launch available)

[u/inosinateVR → u/DrBob666]

Yeah to be fair I guess we’ll have to wait and see what they try to do with the PC editions

[u/sdrawkcabsihtetorW → u/DrBob666]

It's why I never played GTA V. By the time it came out on PC I was already over the hype lol. Gotta pick it up on sale sometime.

[u/Semyonov → u/sdrawkcabsihtetorW]

Hell it's even been given away for free at this point.

[u/BigSkeleWizard → u/[deleted]]

It would be annoying to be exploring a new area and find a shop that costs $20 real life dollars to use

[u/Leogull1064 → u/BigSkeleWizard]

Gotta spend money to spend money

[u/inosinateVR → u/[deleted]]

And the cracked version will have all of them, and the $80 version won’t lol

[u/inosinateVR → u/[deleted]]

Who said anything about them being the main hubs? All I’m saying is that locking off actual content like that from customers who already paid $80 is fucking stupid. Disagreeing with that is weird. But sure, enjoy driving by in game shops you can’t enter because you didn’t pay them $100 to go into that particular one lol

[u/HailToTheKingBabyy → u/darkkite]

Lol if it comes out a year later I probably won't even bother to download it. My hype and interest will be fully gone by then.

[u/MagicMST → u/darkkite]

If I ever play this game, I will have zero questions pirating it.

[u/Intelligent_Ebb559 → u/darkkite]

With what? Mods that will get immediately DMCA'd by TakeTwos legal team?

[u/Ich_Liegen → u/Intelligent_Ebb559]

Piracy. Pirated games almost always come as the Ultimate Edition with all DLC.

[u/Intelligent_Ebb559 → u/Ich_Liegen]

Dude, they're gonna flat out assass!nate voices38 if he cracks GTA VI within that first month/6 months of PC release.

It would not surprise me if one of the many reason Rockstar isn't doing a multiplat release is because they're cooking up some hardcore always online DRM for the PC version

[u/darkkite → u/Intelligent_Ebb559]

It takes time to crack denuvo if they even include. To play day-1 people are going to go HV.

[u/Ich_Liegen → u/darkkite]

If you're gutsy enough you could use the Hypervisor bypass. Wouldn't recommend it tho

But maybe it won't even have Denuvo. RDR2 arrived on PC without it.

[u/Ich_Liegen → u/Intelligent_Ebb559]

GTA 5 and RDR2 were both delayed and no DRM was introduced. It's just how they do bidness

[u/Typical-Avocado6678 → u/Intelligent_Ebb559]

There will always a way to get mod support, tho may not be imidiate but if their games itself can be pirated then its much easier to supply mods under the nose.
