This is a NO-NO for me, Thanks Rockstar, Thanks you very much
hope the steam vercion dont have this BS

whats so bad about SecuROM?

[Moustacheo]

Yeah, I haven't had any problems with SecuROM in the past. I have refused to buy any games that limit your installs, but this SecuROM isn't really much of an inconvenience.

The steam/d2d versions are probably identical, save for any steam-specific code.
San Andreas had securom. It didn't stop a damn thing.

Rockstar Social Club (13+ to register)

The social club is for R* games in general, not just gta. The game itself still has a M rating (17+)

lol nice to see R* enforce the mature rating for GTA IV

Is this only for the download version or does this security measure apply to the dvd version as well?

That's funny, but weird.

Don't you have to be 18 to even access Grand Theft Auto's website ?
and the social club is on the Grand Theft Auto site ?

It doesn't matter. they will all put in an age saying they
were born january first 1970 anyway. lol

Midnight Club: Los Angeles uses the Social Club as well.

SecuRom is fine, its Starforce that you need to run a mile from!

[mupet0000]

The only problem I can remember with SecuROM was that publishers were using it to limit installs. Starforce is the one to boycott as GTA3Freak said, rockstar aren't limiting the installs afaik.

[xnicx]

f*ck, my computer isnt connected to the net, nor will it be any time soon. sh*t.

Just buy it, then download the crack. The fancy-pants-daffodil-daisy protection used by the dullards this time is only in place to stop casual copying. The crack will be out within days of release, so it's no big deal what f*cked up protection they try to use...unless said protection includes Sony-like spyware (Suckdickware) or equivalent.

I do it with all my games. It saves having to have the disc in the drive/internet running (whichever sh*t-for-brains idea they choose), while playing game.

I only buy so I can have the box, manual(s), official disc(s), and the right to say "I bought [such-and-such] game.". Rockstar doesn't deserve it, but that's why I buy.

I wonder why we have to logon to both games for windows live and rockstar social club. Isn't online play through games for windows live and if you want to, log into the social club to upload your videos???

I'm fine with SecuROM as long as there is no limit install system or cause any other problems to me, so far it has not(it's not even complaining about emulation softwares I have installed).

Securom (no-cd version) has limited activations. And GTA4 uses it.
So there is change that it has limited number of activations, other wise it will be pointless.
There might be unlimited installs but only on X computers. I really hope that there will be revocation tool, so it wont cause any problems
