Stuff like this basically means high budget games will become always live services with intrusive checks and lots of streamed encrypted content etc. starting next year or so.
A tragic loss of consumer surplus and incredibly inefficient in terms of resources, bandwidth and people’s time.

It’s sad but it seems inevitable at this stage.
Wouldn't that mean that the assets can be downloaded and with AI, one can piece all pieces together and make your own copy that works offline?

It froze on FireFox but on Chrome it seems to be working OK
And it even comes with the GTA-6 map..
Unfortunately the game locked up after about 2 minutes of getting in.
