I'm sorry for that, be careful not to lose your money.

It sucks for people who are trying to buy ANYTHING ELSE and can't get in

That's actually why pre-orders are beneficial. Dropping the game the moment you release the game available to play is a BS technical decision lol.

Not to mention some people may don't have a saved money for this game as their monthly budged planned for something else, and will have to skip buying it this month and may be exposed for spoilers from this game until then. One of my friend freaked out about it so want me to gift this game and pay for it later lol.

I know it's a small indie game but damn they lack common sense vision lol.

it's actually not bad. played it for a couple hours and i'm impressed. so far I like it better than the original, at least the beginning. it's definitely more story driven this time around.

The chaotic launches are absolutely top-notch.
Imagine what GTA VI is capable of doing?

If that's what's happening with the virtual storefronts, I don't want to know what's going to happen in social medias soon.

Everything worked fine on GoG for me. Game's great so far - you start off way more mobile than in the first game, feels good to play!
