Yesterday,Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Editiondisappeared from sale on PC less than 24 hours after launch. At the same time, the Rockstar Games launcher also fell offline - the only place the PC version was available.
Now, the launcher is back, but the Definitive Edition remains unavaiable to buy or play while Rockstar “remove files unintentionally included in these versions.”
It was tempting to wonder, when the remasters disappeared, whether it was due to thembeing a glitchy, ugly mess. That’s not the reason Rockstar gave via Twitter:
The Rockstar Games Launcher is now online, but GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is unavailable to play or purchase as we remove files unintentionally included in these versions. We’re sorry for the disruption and hope to have correct ones up soon.https://t.co/NiMNXUKCVh— Rockstar Support (@RockstarSupport)November 13, 2021

I look forward to the games returning to the store so I can buy it and look at the crappy character models myself, but it feels particularly egregious that the game is also currently unavailable to play for those who already bought it. What a mess - and the complete opposite of what people expect from a supposed “Definitive Edition”.
