The
Rockstar Support Twitter
remains surprisingly silent in light of how
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy –
The Definitive Edition remains unavailable to play or purchase for PC gamers.
This is three
days after it was
"temporarily" taken offline for maintenance, which has reportedly been met
with
patience and understanding. There is a little more to know about the failed
launch of the remastered RPG anthology though. Amid rising customer
dissatisfaction,
VG247 reports that demands for refunds are rolling in. Similarly,
VGC notes that the review bombing has begun in earnest, and the game's
user score on Metacritic is currently 0.6, just barely edging out
John Blutarsky's GPA. And since
when it rains, it pours, a
report on Kotaku notes that Take-Two occupied some of its time during the
game's launch to send out additional DMCA notices to remove more GTA mods and
fan projects. Here's
an interview with some GTA modders who no longer seem interested in doing
unpaid work for the benefit of Rockstar and Take-Two with all that's gone on.
