ACCOUNT HACKED SINCE 2022

[GeorgeWBushGaming1946]

In around October 2022, I received an email in Chinese when I translated it it was from Rockstar saying that my Rockstar account no longer use the email that I used for my Rockstar account from there I know that my account was hacked but when I tried to go to Rockstar support for help, their response is ♥♥♥♥ and I ended up giving up on recovery. Now I haven't thought much yet ever since and I don't have GTA 5 installed because of insufficient space but when I want to reinstall it, can I still play it even thought I dont have Rockstar account anymore while I created a new account, it doesnt have GTA 5 cuz the key was obviously already used in my previous hacked account. So what can I do about it? do I need to crack the game that I actually own or is there a way to launch the offline story mode without needing a Rockstar account like on consoles or do I need to crack it? cuz Im one of the players that is fine of not being able to play online and only play the story mode I can still tolerate that but being Im also locked out of the offline mode of the game that I own is completely unacceptable while I understand it might be part of Rockstar's effort to combat piracy, I still think that locking out players out of the offline mode of their games that they actually own only because they were hacked is still too extreme which in my opinion, one of the reasons why Rockstar is going downhill today with easily breached security, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ response and worst of all, potentially locking players out of their own games just because they were hacked and Rockstar, don't be mad if I crack ur games cuz u didn't give me a solution to recover my previous account.

My account also been hacked few months ago. I wasn't able to play.
Your game bought on Steam linked to your hacked Rockstar account. And can't be unlinked.
I wrote to support, said that my Rockstar account was hacked, that my account e-mail was changed and new account linked to my current e-mail. Asked if they can change it back. Sent screenshots of my purchases of GTAV and RDR2. They asked for my steam ID. After that they sent me a message to change password. So support do work. But it took about a week.

dont worry for GTA 4 i just reinstalled it i bypassed it via downgrader and better yet I can still get steam achievements and no its not cracking the game so its a good way to play not sure thought for GTA 5 as I havennt try

Recover account.

Provide steam ID.
Provide CD key.
Show purchase history.
Make screenshot of your account your are logged in and that it owns the game.

The process should take less than a week if you don't insult them.

Same thing happened to me. What I did was click on a link from the original email in Chinese and got my account back. Rockstar support wasn't being helpful at all so I watched a youtube video and managed to get my account back asap. The original Chinese email gives you the chance to recover your account back, it's just, y'know, in Chinese so you have to use google translate.

whats sad is that when I found out about that, I realized that the email was gone after searching for it and I prolly think the reason why the email was in Chinese one was prolly cuz the hacker was from China but second is prolly so that those who don't understand Chinese can not easily identify the "this was not me" or something like that button but I'm gonna look for it again maybe I can find it.

I am on week #2 with zero response and they even asked me for the MONTH/DAY/YEAR when I made my RS account back in 2017, lmfao...

They have not responded after sending receipts. The linked Steam ID64 should be more than enough to change over an account or an unlink Steam button on Steam's side would be better, but I don't think RS really cares about their customers at all.

The feeling of being scammed by a major company is not a good feeling at all...

Make sure to turn on 2FA with mobile because we can keep our mobile numbers but seemingly emails are not that great for account protection/recovery as these are at will for deletion at any given time or can thus become compromised there within.

Mobile 2FA keeps accounts safer just because you really cannot lose a mobile number unless you don't pay your bills, or go to prison.

Sorry to hear that. Also felt scammed at the moment. I enabled 2FA right after I got account back.
Support responded to me on the next day. I went through three diffrent people (Everytime I had to explain all over again.). And eventually got my account back. I know that "a week" is very lucky. I read on forums that some people months in dealing with this bs. Hope your problem also will be resolved in your favor.
