  1. It has something to do with music licenses
  2. It has something to do with Games for Windows Live
  3. It's now exclusive to the Rockstar Launcher
  4. GTA IV is getting a remaster and they're removing the old version from sale.

I really hope it's this. If it's exclusivity I'm probably going to buy GTA V and San Andreas before those are gone. Luckily I didn't have that much interest in IV.

This reminds me when Rockstar put their whole back catalogue on Steam.
The problem was when they added Max Payne 2. That game was developed with a nasty DRM that required the correct disc in your disc reader. Rockstar tried to patch it away, but it ended up nesting itself into Windows and impossible to remove.
So Rockstar downloaded a pirate hack that bypassed the DRM and released it on Steam.
Which was discovered and spread around the web as wildfire.
Rockstars respons?
They replaced the whole game with an earlier buggier beta that was made before they added the DRM.

It's crazy when a billion dollar company does things like this and thinks no one will notice.
