Even if it comes on PC, it will come with the stupid Rockstar launcher.

I have now decided to stop playing games that require anything else than just pure Steam or GOG Galaxy.

This way I could pass to Linux and don't have to install crappy bloatware on my machine.

Just FYI: I've had a really good experience with Heroic launcher. Use for playing those Epic freebies I've accumilated over the years, and has been pretty solid, almost Steam-like experience.

Just a warning to those interested like me:

  • they don’t explicitly mention Rockstar Launcher compatibility (unless I missed it somewhere)
  • they mention possibility of a ban when trying to use online features through their launcher.

So hypothetically, if GTA VI comes to PC, this may not be a workaround for Rockstar Launcher, and even if it is, online might be a sketchy.

I second this. I would use an epic account like a burner account and just get all those free giveaways. Heroic works for the Amazon prime games as well. I played a little bit of trek to Yomi the other day because I had a friend mentioned it was free on epic and I didn’t even realize I already had it.
