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

Well, I know what I'm not buying anymore.

I was absolutely 100% going to buy GTA6 on launch day before hearing this.
darkdemize@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 302d
But we're still gonna buy GTA VI right?
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social · 23 pts · 302d
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.

+1 to Sleeping Dogs being way better than GTA!

I had fun with vice city. Liked sleeping dogs alot. Gotta replay that when I get my oled monitor.

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.
SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 302d
Series peaked with GTA2, great game

They really hit their stride with the alpha version of the original GTA, after that everything went downhill.
technomad@slrpnk.net · 2 pts · 301d
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.

Why waste your time?

Maybe he hates himself.
recklessengagement@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 302d
Not if it's got kernel-level anticheat.
OldQWERTYbastard@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 302d
Sure we will.....
RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 302d
Nah I'll just wait for epic to give it away. Didn't pay for 5 either
