GrigoryGaga These browser experiments are still impressive. The community keeps proving that classics can live on in new formats. Reply
Shiznizzle Word of warning here regarding Rockstar games If you own them on steam, the games, and "link" your account with them, Rockstar. you better be damn sure you can remember the exact details of this linkage. Time, date and place and possibly even IP address and make of computer. Rockstar is using this obscure "read the fine print" when linking, to deny you access to your paid for games that exist on steam. How they are able to lock you out of steam bought games is beyond me but they are. They denied me time and time again and not even escalating the issue after supplying all the info they wanted was i allowed back into my games. They stated i was a liar, that i was not the person and that i faked the pics that i took on steam. Rockstar hopes you buy their games again. I lost access to the game that were able to link……I deleted from steam all others ones i had and vowed to never, ever, ever, ever again buy anything from them. Reply
steviant I'm so thankful for copyright, without nearly 100 years of exclusivity there's almost no way anyone could possibly hope to make enough money from their creations to justify bothering to make them in the first place. I know rent seeking is basically marcantilism under a different name, but in this case it really seems to benefit everyone equally to put aside capitalism and freedom so that licensors can have popular culture sequestered into a private fiefdom. God bless America. Reply

Myself and several friends lost access to GTAV many years ago due to playing online during New Years and having millions of dollars of in-game currency rain down on our heads. There was nothing we could do to avoid it. I've also vowed never to buy another Rockstar game since then. They treat their customers like trash. I would play GTA for free in a browser, but there's no way I'd pay for and install one of those games again. Reply
