Pulling older games from steam - What Rockstar does to older games is terrible

[Vishera]

GTA IV

GTA EFLC

GTA III

GTA VC

GTA SA

All of them got pulled out of steam only to relaunch a newer version of them.

 

For example both GTA IV and GTA EFLC got merged into:  Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition

-Multiplayer removed

-Social Club implemented into the game instead of GFWL

-Leaderboards and achievements removed.

-RamJam FM, Self-Actualization FM, and Vice City FM radio stations removed

-Higher price

The whole changelog provided by Rockstar is just full of downgrades left and right.

They made those games worse.

 

As for GTA III,VC and SA Rockstar did pull them but didn't release the newer versions yet.

 

Tip for Rockstar:

Leave older games alone,and if you want to release new versions just leave the older ones alone.

GFWL shut down and GTA IV was unplayable, even in SP mode, because the game was hard coded to look for GFWL before it let you play.

 

Trust me, they didn't make GTA IV worse.

Nope,You misunderstood the situation.

Only the marketplace went down,

You can still login into GFWL and play online games that depend on it.

Read this steam thread about the topic if you want:

No one likes Social Club...

And the removal of other features and content such as Leaderboards,achievements and radio stations.

 

So yeah it's worse.

Multiplayer worked before the new version.
