Its funny because is the truth. WTF are these game companies doing? Screwing their own businesses thats what.

Had a very similar experience with GTA4 yesterday, Installed the game via Steam. NP got a Steam account. Took overnight to download because their servers were slow.

Ran the game. "You need a Social Club account to play online."
I don't want one of those.
OK you can play offline but only if you are really sure.
I'm sure
Are you really really sure? You won't be able to save games BTW.
WTF? OK I'll set up a Social Club account.
Fill in form.....(time passes),
OK you have a Social Club account. Now you need a Windows Live Game account.
WTF? I don't want one.
You can save your game if you don't have one.
Bugger!. OK Lets set one up using a lot of BS details.
Fill in form.....(time passes),
To get a Windows Live account, you need to get an XBox Live account
WTF? I don't even have an XBox. Why would I want one of those. Oh there is the option to get rid of that account later.
You get the idea....

I don't.
