Both games had copies manufactured for only about 2 years. There is ZERO current way to play them outside of their original platforms (I don’t know if the PS2 ports of these games would even function on PS3 backwards compatibility). Games like Manhunt 2 and Vice City Stories though have ZERO ports other than what they were originally released for. Liberty City Stories was at least ported to IOS in 2015 but even that just got removed from the App Store 3 months ago - for zero given reason. However, the only way to experience some of these games on PC is to play them through an emulator/DRM. Thank fully this isn’t a problem on the Xbox or PlayStation game-stores and those ports have even received upgrades. This broken Steam file problem goes for all classic R* titles from 2001 to 2008. So PC players are just basically Shit Outta Luck when trying to play these titles because they don’t work on Steam and aren’t available to purchase from Rockstar’s game-store. So those titles will boot up with all anti-piracy measures activated and auto-softlock the game at every given point. It’s been discovered on a mass level recently that many titles in Rockstar’s classic catalog that are sold on Steam are unplayable because R* has been providing cracked EXE files to Steam for the last 13 years. They simply stopped being produced in any official capacity. There was no manufacturer/company recall for these titles. There are no official digital copies of these games to exist in the first place. The only actual sales of the game that are made now are physical copies sold through private transactions by individuals. The reason why is because there has been zero new copies made (both physical or digital) since the game was released. Certain games in Rockstar’s catalogue are effectively known as ‘abandonware’, the current version of Rockstar and the past developers from that time period no longer receive revenue/payment for any sales made from these games. The problem is most of us would all be willing to purchase the game with our own money from a digital store, or even buy new physical copies if they were printed and sold at MSRP. The game should be available for download from an official digital store. It’s just someone’s 17 year old sealed copy that you are paying a COLLECTOR’S PRICE for, which is arbitrary. Especially seeing as how it’s not a new port, or even a limited edition copy of the game. Plus $50 IS absolutely absurdly overpriced for a game from that time period. You’re so wrong about the CIB price lol wow, the CIB for GTA:VCS is between $150-230…which is steep asf. Most average gamers don’t even own a TV or monitor old enough to feature AV cable inputs anymore. The PS2 is 20 years old and the PSP is now 18. Not everyone in 2023 owns a retro gaming console/device like a PS2 or PSP and most of them certainly aren’t going to purchase a refurbished PS2 just to TRY OUT a 17 year old game.
