I'm fucking done with Rockstar after GTA5. Took a great franchise and fucking ruined it with online mode. One of my first sessions ended up with a hacker teleporting everyone to a single location on the map and dropping millions on everyone.

Also, I can't play Vice City (still my favorite) on PC without the Social Club bullshit or downloading a cracked version (I gave up on pirated software), despite it being a single player game. Just another company I'm happy to boycott forever.

You should try playing Vice City on a PS2 emulator. Connect your emulator with retroachievements.org and try to get all the achievements. If you can find a legit PS2 copy, it won't be piracy.

That's a good wisdom! I still have my original PS2 disc packed away, but I'd have to get a DVD drive for my PC (I haven't had one for years). They're cheap enough, and I've got a few other games as well. Thanks!

If you've got a legit copy then just download a copy and run that on the emulator, no DVD drive needed.

It's not piracy, it's a backup.
