Buyer beware Rockstar is selling a game on Steam that cannot be activated


I've been going back and forth with Rockstar support about an activation issue for LA Noire VR Case files for the past 3 months. The game requires you to use a cd key in the rockstar launcher that steam provides and then the launcher is meant to activate the game for you and then you can play it. However, what happens is that the game will say that the key is already in use whenever you try to activate it. Rockstar told me yesterday that they will not be resolving this issue and according to recent steam reviews this is a very common issue with this game. It doesn't appear that rockstar has any intention of fixing or delisting the game and are fine with leaving people high and dry after paying for the game. Not looking for help activating or IT support but I do want to spread awareness of what is happening. I've also attached screenshots of my interactions with rockstar and some of the steam user reviews to prove I am not making this up.

    Yeah, Rockstar sucks balls, and hates PC gamers. Pirate that shit. They don’t want, nor do they deserve, any of your money. 

  2. Try to get a refund from steam, dont bother with rockstar. Their games work better when not obtained legally ironically.

    Honestly out of anything you could buy from Rockstar VR games is the last thing I’d ever expect. I don’t care how good a game is, as bad as their launcher is I’d never do anything that amazing with a company that bad about DRM.

    Just pirate the game, also pirate all of rockstar games. I hate the launcher.
