Rockstar Tracking Gamertags and PSN IDs for People Playing GTA IV Before April 29th

GTA IV is probably going to be one of the biggest video game launches of the year, so it makes sense that Rockstar isn’t taking any chances with it. Anyone who is set to receive an advance copy of the game in the UK recently received an e-mail asking for their Gamertag or PSN ID, depending on which version they want. They’re apparently compiling a list of people approved to play the game before the official release date to make sure no unofficial copies make their way into people’s hands before they’re supposed to. They’re also asking Xbox 360 users to reset their privacy settings until April 29th so that no one else can inadvertantly see some of the game’s achievements. It may seem a little extreme, but if I were releasing a game this huge and had EA knocking at my door, I wouldn’t take any chances either.

GRAND THEFT AUTO WENT DOWN THE TUBES WHEN THEY TURNED IT INTO A 3D GAME AND TOOK IT INTO A REALITY OF WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE AS A “GANGSTER” IN REAL LIFE,WHEN IT WAS A 2D TOP DOWN GAME IT WAS FUN AND HAD A HIGH REPLAY RATE,NOW ITS NOTHING MORE THAN HALO,ANOTHER GAME THAT SUCKS AND ONLY MAKES IT BIG DUE TO MAIN STREAM GAMERS WHO TRUTHFULLY HAVE NO GAMING SKILLS!

dELrAH’s real identity is Jack Thompson. that’s why he’s ragging on GTA 4… Go rape a kid you pedophile, you like to watch little kids play old games because that’s your fetish. GTA 4 is going to be the shit! fuck you, you liberal retard.

@ Fenris and his threehundredandsixty wittle bitty friends
Get your MS coffins ready. Liberty City leads straight to RROD city after the 29th.
I’ll put all odd on the table, and do whatever I must to take down this game.
I’m going to get Hillary Clinton on my side and take it down. She has more power then what I have in the entertainment spotlight.
Crikey! A Troll!
Tracking user ids? Banning them? Nah, they’ll do nothing, as usual. As if GTA was the first ever leaked game… On 360, almost all the games are all over the torrent trackers a week before they’re out. Not even to mention people who got their copy “legally” (paying extra to get it before date from some dodgy stores)
Jack Thompson u r a fucken fag as if ud want to take this game down just fuck u gay cunt an eat some cum
