    Ok, cool.

    Let’s revisit this when Rockstar gets universal adoration for GTA6, which will absolutely require a Rockstar account & launcher.

      GTA6 will almost certainly be a multiplayer game. As others have pointed out, at least there’s a logic behind it for a multiplayer game. There is exactly zero reason, other than corporate bs, to have this in a single player game. That’s been the argument in this entire thread, so GTA6 possibly getting praise while also requiring a separate account is entirely irrelevant.

        You really think GTA6 won’t have a single player component? And that it won’t require a Rockstar account/launcher?

          Gta6 isn’t singleplayer only, do you really need it spelled out for you?

          Multi-player games can use being a multi-player game as an excuse for “needing” a launcher.

          An always offline, single player game, where no one will ever see or touch your progress, does NOT need a launcher, and realistically should and could be sold on GoG with no DRM.

          The only way to change this pattern is by getting mad, and not buying games that add a launcher to a single player game. (Helldivers was different because they added it as a forced requirement months after release. Even though it had been proven it was not neccessary)

      Yup. Sadly it’s always the same old song and dance. Death by a thousand cuts because basic consumer rights don’t actually exist.
