Rockstar Games Launcher is here

Post by jztemple2 »

Article from PCGamesN, The Rockstar Games Launcher is here, and it comes with GTA: San Andreas for free
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past year of covering PC games, it’s that players really love downloading additional launchers to play their games. Rockstar is the latest to capitalise on this beloved trend, and you can now download the Rockstar Games Launcher to see the results for yourself – and snag a free copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas while you’re at it.

I look forward to every game studio over a certain size having its own store front launcher for you to use now. Why not?

Wake me up when they're offering Red Dead Redemption on PC through it.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Beloved trend? I should be able to fill up a 1tb drive with launchers and streaming services in a couple years...not.

At this point I have no complaints. It says it can scan your system for already owned games and add them, which means I don't actually need to buy anything from them to have most of their catalog unlocked in their launcher. That means I get those games on a secondary service should there be a problem with Steam sometime. Free backup ownership. If, at some point, they start offering their new games only through their service, then I'll have a problem with it. For now, though, it's just optional.

Besides, they're giving away the second best GTA title and my personal favorite.
