They've tried the same scheme with Diablo 3 and the new Simcity. Bloody underhanded.

I suppose the safest thing to do is wait until there is a release from a reputable group.

Simply put, if you are one of the ones that downloaded this fake/malware program, thinking it's the "real deal", you don't need to have a computer, nor be on the internet the least.

Um... They have to be pretty stupid to install this on their PC anyway. GTA V has not even been announced for PC.
But serves the pirates right if they are going to try and steal a game and are too stupid to check it for malware before they click the exe.

Not afraid to admit I'm a rabid pirate at all. However I will be purchasing this game. The amount of time and money put in to this game make the price a steal in itself IMO. Perfect title for the Fall/Winter.
...I just hope my PS3 game save will work IF a PS4 version is released...

It's a WELL-KNOWN fact that Rockstar brings out the GTA PC version almost always 1 year AFTER console releases so anyone that attempts to jack this deserves any and all hassles and troubles that come with it.
and to Kreayshawn: you should be afraid to state you're a rabid pirater. It shows a person's character when they rarely if ever GIVE BACK.

Trust me I support A LOT. You have to agree we are living in an age where there is more media than one has time to consume. I will be buying GTAV.
I support music and buy blurays.
There is TOO much media to buy bro. Pirating is the same as renting. If I like a title enough, I will seek out a legit source.
But sorry if I don't want to wait 6 months for a TV season bluray when the WEB-DL's are available.
Why should I be afraid? Because you're living in the past?
Even Neil Young said Piracy is the new radio.
Lastly, it's been noted MANY times Pirates buy more than NON-Pirates.

Just hope if you ever get busted the judge you get feels the same.

Yes! There really is a God! And I hope all of you j-erks, who tried to (illegally) download it, got infected big time!
Kreayshawn, I certainly hope that you are one of them. "Pirating is the same as renting. If I like a title enough, I will seek out a legit source". Spoken like a true dildo, I mean pirate.
Life is good!

I look at the whole piracy thing in a different light. Although I am not into gaming at all I treat all software as shareware. With limited budget availability I most certainly want to try out a new software / OS to see if I an comfortable with it or whether the upgrade is worth it before shelling out hard earned money. I most certainly don't fall for those "30 day guaranteed money back" deals !
