Legal threats won't be enough to stop any of this. Once a game dump makes its way onto the Internet, chasing it down becomes a pointless game of cat and mouse, straight out of Wile E. Coyote.
Rockstar could have avoided much of this situation by releasing GTA VI on PC alongside PS5 and Xbox from day one. After all, the game is already developed and tested on PC before reaching consoles. Delaying the PC release isn't necessarily a technical limitation, but rather a commercial strategy that encourages players to purchase the same game multiple times across different platforms.
And here's the irony: even if a playable PC version emerges through unofficial means, many of those who initially pirate the game will likely end up purchasing it once GTA Online becomes available. Online multiplayer alone could be a strong enough incentive to buy a legitimate copy.
Of course, that doesn't mean piracy won't cause problems in the short term. An uncompressed game potentially weighing 250��300 GB would be difficult for many people to download, especially considering how painfully slow some of the websites distributing game dumps can be. The sheer size alone could significantly limit its spread.
Ultimately, Rockstar's legal efforts might slow down distribution, but they won't erase something that's already circulating online. A simultaneous PC release could have reduced the incentive for piracy while allowing Rockstar to profit from PC players immediately, rather than pushing them toward unofficial alternatives.
Instead, Rockstar appears determined to repeat the same strategy: delay the PC version, build anticipation, and potentially sell the same game to the same customers twice.

@Llareia@kaanomeg TBH the thing I was trying to do in that scene was generate a wood grain texture for the table with only noise textures, the chalice was just something to actually look at 😅
@ravenunreal I wouldn't want to choke a cow out but if they let me use the bolt gun to insta-kill it then 100%, I would want to try and butcher some of it myself too, it's a good skill to know.
@BeforeAGI13@JoshEdits The fact he can ruin so many lives by lying about their conduct is proof that you are wrong, rats like him should be held accountable for their lies and simply ignoring them only makes them feel safe.
