Is it worth getting GTA 4 and 5 on Rockstar game launcher or here?
Steam keys for these 2 games have been removed all across online stores and instead they replaced them with RGL keys.Should i wait for a sale and get them here or from RGL?

Plus the deals for Rockstar games are usually cheaper if you buy non-steam key.

Getting it on Steam really has no benefit that I can see. And I say this as a guy who prefers Steam. Other than RGL I never use other launchers. If you're a GTA/RDR fan you just have to embrace it sooner or later.

Well thanks for the answer but i already got codes for both games for RGL so i don't own them on steam.

The RGL port of San Andreas is even worse than the Steam port.

Granted I played less than an hour, but San Andreas worked okay for me.

GTA V was the game that I had an issue with. It had some kind of abrupt memory leak that killed my game. Apparently that's a common problem.

Yup, that might explain it. GTA V (and Online) ran perfectly fine for over 150 hours on an integrated graphics card. Then it just stopped working one day. Coincidentally around the time of the latest DLC update.

Rockstar support blamed my hardware. Apparently my laptop took a couple months to realize it wasn't supposed to be able to run it. That's Rockstar for you.

Specs:
GTX 1050 2GB(NVidia)
Intel Core I3-8100
8GB of Ram
250GB space

Every site i searched and even Rockstar's spec it was said i can run it even at high settings but...everything was set to low automatically and the game runs like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ from the memory leak.

Those specs are fine. It's just the idiots at Rockstar.

Had an entirely different issue with L.A. Noir, where an update prevented the game from opening unless I changed the date on my computer. But they at least fixed that after a week.
