(2.5K Reached) This Proves Strauss Zelnick lies about the Potential Definitive Edition Update
There were a Couple of Reasons why we keep on signing endlessly:
#1.) Don’t Expect the Entire Game to Overhaul as Advertised, but only fixes the Glitches and Minor Stuff.
On January 18th 2022
During a CNBC interview, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick also appeared to downplay the major issues the remaster collection suffered from at launch.
When it was put to Zelnick that there were “some defects in the new Grand Theft Auto” and that the game might have been released before it was ready, the executive seemingly sought to diminish the issues and the impact they have had on the product’s commercial performance.
“With regards to the GTA trilogy, that was actually not a new title. That was a remaster of pre-existing titles,” he said. “We did have a glitch in the beginning, that glitch was resolved. And the title of [sic] has done just great for the company.”
That Proves that He, Rockstar or Take Two didn’t care or lied about the quality of the game. Even November Apology proves that also that they don’t care about the Signature Quality Art Style, Putting Old Licensed Music Tracks from Radio Stations, and Promised a GTA V Style-Game Mechanics (sort of?)
(But their In-Game Animations Biking, Aiming a gun etc. are very Awkwardly Off)
So Don’t expect the entire Game to be overhauled like the advertised “Definitive Edition”. They just ONLY fix the Bugs and Glitches, with minor changes and that’s it. They defended the Awful Art-style that Butchered the 3 Originals look that fans hated or make fun the most.

#2.) Removing the 3 Original Games (GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas) and Take Two Harassment of GTA Modders.
If this was called the “Definitive Edition”, that means it’s supposed to be better than the original versions of the 3 games. But they Removed the 3 Originals (GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas) on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox Digital Stores.
Since November 19 last year, Rockstar Posted an Apology statement of the Disastrous Launch:
Hi everyone,
We want to provide an update regarding the “unexpected technical issues” that came to light as part of the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition."
This note is already off to a bad start. Rockstar is widely known for releasing quality, unrushed games however the phrase "unexpected technical issues" sound more like a very vague excuse: these could range from the regular bugs left out in the original games that were fixed by the community for decades, the new bugs like came with the trilogy or more. This phrase alone sets the tone for the rest of the article.
"The Grand Theft Auto series — and the games that make up this iconic trilogy — are as special to us as we know they are to fans around the world. The updated versions of these classic games did not launch in a state that meets our own standards of quality, or the standards our fans have come to expect."
That proves that Rockstar doesn’t care about the Art Style or Respecting the Original Roots. They ONLY plan to Patch the Bugs and Technical Issues. So don’t expect on Overhaul Patch of the Game.
They Don’t offer refunds on Consoles (only PC via Xsolla), but at least PC Players got the 3 Original Games for free, but no Updates for PC Players yet.
But PC players at Launch day didn’t try to play the game until 3 days later, the reasons due to the content files being forgotten to remove.
Only Console Players played it first and got Patches except for PC Players, but never got the 3 Original Games like PC Players got, but most PC gamers have it already. Example of Take-Two/Rockstar’s Neglecting Unfairly from one Platform to another.
And also Take-Two Interactive keeps on Suing Modders and harassed their Families, for modding the originals, despite its doesn’t hurt their game sales that the 3 Original Games they or you brought
I find that corporate behavior very Inhumane and Unacceptable. And it’s should be stop for making an excuse for Corporate greed on a Video Game Publisher History.
——-————————————————-
#3.) As we the fans are Trying to Push them back against Corporate Greed.
We must not tolerate Rockstar/Take-Two Bullying Modders and Customers for being Greedy for a Filthy Dirty Profit. And now Take 2 wants NFTs in their products.
Without Dan Houser, Lazlow and Leslie Benzies. Rockstar are no longer be the same company beloved by Fans and Critics alike, but now Rockstar were Cowards on Bowing down on Take Two’s or Strauss Zelnick’s Shoes for Betraying Hardcore Fans and alike.
Despite GTA 6 was Confirmed to be in Development, We’ll never stop this movement, even uniting with the Red Dead Community being neglected by Rockstar on the lack Red Dead Online for months.
We must hold Rockstar and Take-Two Interactive Accountable and punished them for Bullying Modders and their Customers. And we’ll never stop until they’ll listen. And never give Corporate Greed Sympathy for being such an Unacceptable behavior for a few years after Dan Houser left the company.
——————————————————-
#4.) Conclusion
Dan Houser, Lazlow and Leslie Benzies. If you’re Listening, We Love you and your Company hard work on your wonderful franchises, but now. We’ll find the way to slay Corporate greed that make fans suffer for moment now without you.
We’ll never let Strauss Corporate Lies inherited to GTA 6 and beyond in the future and ruined the 3 writers Legacy.
I hope this Refund Petition could make them pay and learn their lesson, if not, let’s Continue to keep fighting against this Corporate Tyranny of Take-Two Interfering Rockstar and until we punish them permanently, if we kept warning them, many times.
