its pretty bad if you dont make an account and give rockstar your personal info you are blocked from playing the game you payed for. Whoever is in charge of 2k needs to email the people at rockstar that this isnt 1980 and we have steam today so rockstar social club is just useless crap.

Forget this then, people should not buy this. Imagine it on steam with steamworks, i hate making logins for games. I couldnt play max payne 3 for half the year because of drm issues with Rockstar unsocial club

Yes use Rockstar unSocial Club

They use Rockstar Social Club over Steamworks for two main reasons:

1) Rockstar Social Club can be used on all platforms. It's much easier for them to use one system for all platforms, particularly when they want to allow us to transfer our progress across platforms.

2) It's their system, meaning they have more control over it and can make it fit whatever purposes they need it to.

Rockstar Social Club also allows them to easily identify cheaters and hackers for GTA Online, it's also the only way to transfer characters between platforms because the characters are unique to the Social Club account.

IMO , this is not the worst DRM, i mean if it's like Max Payne 3 or GTA IV, you login on the first launch, and then it does it automatically every time you play your game. Non-intrusive DRM like this are ok for me.
And i think that we've seen so much worse with other companies putting some DRMs thingy that were totally useless, that this one sounds alright.

I don't see why you guys are even considering purchasing this. Rockstar clearly betrayed the PC crowd when they decided to focus on console - ♥♥♥♥ them. They're not getting one red cent from me or anyone I know - I've already influenced over 30 of my friends all of whom play on the PC as I do.

Man, you weren't even remotely confident with what you stated that you had to add some pointless made up 'fact' tact onto the end to try to even convince yourself let alone anyone else that your opinion matters that much. Much ego.

No one cares about your opinion kid, get off the Internet.

Edit: Also; "Convinced over 30 of my friend who are PC players." Has only two friends on Steam.

YEAH I BET BRO.
