Title: GTA: San Andreas stolen (They got another one) Post by: Makou on 2004-10-21, 13:07 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas jacked (http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/gta4/news_6111057.html)
Quote Less than a week after a pirated version of Halo 2 began appearing on the Web, another of the year's most sought after games has been stolen. Ironically, it also happens to be a game titled after a larcenous act itself. That's right. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has become the latest victim of piracy, with illegal copies of the game, its manual, and its cover appearing on various Web sites. First Half-Life 2, then Halo 2, and now this. Would somebody tell me why these gutless wonders feel the need to pull this garbage?:shout: :wall: Title: Re: GTA: San Andreas stolen Post by: Angst on 2004-10-21, 17:22 They've been doing it for years. Apparently only now that the internet is so easy to use, and the media coverage so wide-spread, it's a problem. :doomed:
Title: Re: GTA: San Andreas stolen Post by: scalliano on 2004-10-21, 18:13 I have to laugh at this. How can warez get posted on the net BEFORE the official release date if it ISN'T an inside job? Somebody at Rockstar is making a few quid/bucks on the side. :shifty:
Well, I've already put my ?3 deposit down on a legit copy of the game and the 29th October booked off work to go stand outside GAME (in the pissing rain, no doubt) and get stuck into it. :thumb: Downloading would take longer, anyway. Plus I don't have a modchip. Nor any plans to get one. Title: Re: GTA: San Andreas stolen Post by: shambler on 2004-10-21, 22:57 ?3?
Are you British then? :offtopic: Title: Re: GTA: San Andreas stolen Post by: scalliano on 2004-10-22, 18:03 Ultimately, yes. Northern Ireland, to be precise. :ninja:
Hence my penchant for mindless violence :)~ Title: Re: GTA: San Andreas stolen Post by: shambler on 2004-10-22, 20:05 Welsh myself: Hence my penchant for singing a lot to sheep.

Much like motion pictures, games are leaked out onto the internet before they actually hit the shelves. I am pretty sure this has been the case with the GTA series since the second game. |
