Buying in a few days, not sure if it will use Steam or anything.
Chances are yes, but Im still unsure. Any official word? Thanks!

No. Only copies of GTA V bought via Steam are for Steam. The rest only use the Social Club.

Some games are and some aren't. It doesn't matter to me as long as I have the licence to play the game.

Ah, ok, thanks for stopping by.
Will rather buy a 50 wallet code and use it on steam.
Thanks

There is nothing more false than this statement. You can buy Steam game keys at Green Man Gaming. GTV PC had a 20-25% discount not too long ago. Greenmangaming.com Humble Bumble is another that provides games with Steam keys as well.

That would be news to me. And I just checked. The only thing that is mentioned (as probably was before) on the GMG site for GTA V is "Other DRM" meaning Rockstar Social Club.

There you go from the GMG store page:

引用自 GMG：

SINGLE USE SERIAL CODE REGISTRATION VIA INTERNET REQUIRED; REGISTRATION IS LIMITED TO ONE ROCKSTAR GAMES SOCIAL CLUB ACCOUNT (13+) PER SERIAL CODE; ONLY ONE PC LOG-IN ALLOWED PER SOCIAL CLUB ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME; SERIAL CODE(S) ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE ONCE USED; SOCIAL CLUB ACCOUNTS ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE.

Edit: I also checked the Humble Store. You will find the exact same information there:

引用自 Humble Store：

SINGLE USE SERIAL CODE REGISTRATION VIA INTERNET REQUIRED; REGISTRATION IS LIMITED TO ONE ROCKSTAR GAMES SOCIAL CLUB ACCOUNT (13+) PER SERIAL CODE; ONLY ONE PC LOG-IN ALLOWED PER SOCIAL CLUB ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME; SERIAL CODE(S) ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE ONCE USED; SOCIAL CLUB ACCOUNTS ARE NON-TRANSFERABLE.

But its not the Steam Version over at GMG

[Fly Guy]

True, that's odd though. Most of the games I've purchased at GMG were Steam keys, but GMG does have their own DRM.

Not all as most EA titles from there need only Origin and most Ubisoft titles just need uPlay

That indeed is true for many games. GMG as well as the Humble Store and so much others are legitimate resellers for Steam keys. But every time you buy a Steam copy, be it on Steam directly or via 3rd-party sites like GMG, Valve gets a share (I heard 30% but I can't tell if that is true).

Rockstar does not want to give Steam that much money, so they decided not to offer Steam version anywhere else besides Steam. And as far as we now Steam will also just start the Social Club for us and provide as with a key.

I also edited my first post, so there are no more misunderstandings.

Yeah, I couldn't care less for Origin (full priced games), even for crappy BF (whatever).
