8
Kotaku:

"Two guys worked up an extremely patient, social engineering prank that had 2K Games support believing, or at least suspicious of the possibility of a hacked Grand Theft Auto IV demo on pirate sites. And in the back-and-forth, it turned up this reply from tech support:

"The PC version of GTA IV has not even been announced for release and is still in development so is not about to be released on a website." "

Full story after the jump!

I am not mistaken. The story both come from the same source http://rockstarscammer.blog... Both this story and the story I pasted in my last comment are both based on the scam those guys pulled at that blog.

4 - The PC version of GTA 4 has not even been announced for release and is still in development so is not about to be released on a website.
Well when the development is dune then all the torrent sites will crash i bet.

I wonder how many people really buy pc games now days?,except for those games that needs cdkey to get online but singleplayer games is easy to download & play(Not that I do that/Sarcasm)...

Just put the cdkey i & crack then start playing.

Over & Out!

Probably about the same number that pirated the Xbox 360 version I imagine. Now what did your comment have to do with the story ? Other than have a go at the PC.
