Rockstar's giving away free copies of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on PC

[WYP]

Why is Rockstar marketing a new launcher? I smell Red Dead!

It was obvious for a while with all those code leaks. I can't wait for the official confirmation, though.

Not sure if I wanna download another launcher for a game I won't ever play... but its free sooo...

To be honest, there's so many now I had no issue downloading this last night.

To my surprise there's some nice QOL improvements for me with it. I bought GTAV on disc (one last attempt at supporting physical copies), but could download a web installer as well. The problem was that I don't play the game often any more, which meant the game only tried to update when I launched it; kind of annoying.

This new launcher recognises the install and now replaces that old web-installer/discs, and it it'll keep the game up to date in the background just like Steam/Uplay/etc. The free copy of San Andreas is nice bonus, if I ever bother to play it. If RDR2 does come to PC I'll definitely want to play it at some point, and that'll require this launcher, so I guess I'm just staying ahead of the curve.
