MarkD1990 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 A peek at Gamercard aggregator MyGamerCard.com reveals a long list of Xbox 360 users already racking up achievements on Grand Theft Auto IV since an illegal torrent of the game was leaked yesterday and early copies started showing up in people's homes. Neither Rockstar nor Microsoft itself have yet responded to Kotaku's requests for comment. Neither has Sony commented on any action it might take regarding video of the game being played on its network — video that GameTrailers, for its part, has since pulled — so it's unclear yet how any of them plan to address the software pirates. Xbox Live's Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, did say, however, that he was unable to comment yet due to the "need to look into this further," so we can assume that Microsoft, at least, is investigating.

NotYouHaha Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 They better fix this. It's totally unfair to the legit GTA gamers. Especially because of the R* Social Club. They've got at least a week's head start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA Don Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 This is just fucking disgraceful, all the people who downloaded the torrent should be ashamed of themselves, I didn't think it was going to be pirated only a few days before release. I thought people would have the decency to wait for the PC version, then crack it. The people who did download it, their name should not appear on Rockstar Games' Social Club leaderboard.

MarkD1990 Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 maybe with new tchnolagy these days, maybe they will be able to trace these people in the gang iCON that started all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris82 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Well the only way those people would appear there is if they took the game home from their place of work, which would be grounds for firing or if they torrented it which would get them partyvanned.

Zop-2911 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 There are hunsreds of Gamertags that have played it now, after this morning! Arggghhh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 You are ALL being ignorant douche-fucks right now, you know that? I'd be willing to bet a few retailers have let the game slide already, and it might've shipped to some people's houses already. To automatically assume that they are ALL just a bunch of assholes who couldn't wait makes you an asshole yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibraa5 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) they should at least wait till it's out <.< Looks like Turok's been torrented too Edited April 26, 2008 by sibraa5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 they should at least wait till it's out <.<Looks like Turok's been torrented too If you had the game, would you wait 3 more days to play it? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) Fuck, downloading the pirated copy now would be kinda pointless, as it would take five goddamn days until all 7GB was downloaded and burned to a DVD9. And yeah, some of those gamertags just got their LEGAL copies early. Besides, I bet most of you guys would've downloaded the pirated version if you hadn't already preordered it.

Paulliverpool8 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 If it had a PS3 version for download and it was simple to do i would prabably do it, but i would still keep my pre order, we've waited to long for this game, with that massive delay in October.

MarkD1990 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Ye, but apparently achievements don't go active untill the 29th so people who have played early, don't get any points added to their gamercard, which means on the 29th and they are half way through they would have to start again because no points were added . And they learnt that from Halo 3. I read it on 360 forum http://forums.xbox.com/19199445/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM™ Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hasn't San Andreas been leaked before? So this would of been expected since this game's already famous, right? GTA IV's gone through the same thing which happened to San Andreas (I believe). All major games which have grown to be like GTA IV will go through this. Well, for me, I'm just gonna wait and see it for myself, or I'll go to my friends house and play it with him. But people who want it now must be a crazy GTA Fan.

fatalgamer Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 This really fucking pisses me off. People who pirate blow man. Even if I could get GTA IV illegally I wouldn't. They should be banned not ever be able to make another XBOX live account from their XBOX 360 and not allow to buy GTA IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
