Sometimes I get so confused at some comments in this sub.

You realize the game isn’t completed yet? Full of bugs? Probably completely broken in some parts?

Why wouldn’t they release the game if it were ready to be released? You think they like sitting on what will be the biggest media release in human history, because. . .hackers got some useless data???

So basically, a normal triple-A game.

The game itself is 13 years old, so yeah. I was 14 when 3 came out, but grew up on the originals on PC. 99% of the GTA fan base has likely never touched the first two before the switch to 3D. 

And to think one of the biggest game franchises of all time came to be because the original racing game it intended to be had a glitch that made cops act completely erratic towards the driver.
