    I know who I’ll never support with my money again. No public apology will ever undo this type of damage.

    Not that I was planning to buy any more Rockstar games, but this definitely doesn’t help.

      I wouldn’t trust Discord with my privacy for a second. They’re almost certainly selling that information.

      No, because I’m not paying $100 CAD for one game. That is insane.

        The series peaked with IV anyway.

        And none of them are ever gonna be better than Saints Row 2.

          San Andreas was peak. IV was great, but it wasn’t better than S.A.

            4 had the non-lobotomized Euphoria engine for maximum shenanigans.

            They really hit their stride with the alpha version of the original GTA, after that everything went downhill.

      I didn’t buy 5, unlike you class traitors

      Or 4

      Or San Andreas

      (I got bored by Vice City it’s just not interesting)

      Sleeping Dogs was better, fight me GTA simps, you can’t, my crime guy knows kung fu.
