Rockstar Games Terms and Conditions. Trademarks and Intellectual Property

Question: Can I upload videos from the game to YouTube or other sites? Can I use copyrighted material as long as I am not for commercial purposes and the material does not contain spoilers?

Answer: Generally, Take-Two Interactive does not object to fans using content for non-commercial purposes as long as it does not intentionally reveal the story to other users. The term "non-commercial purposes" means that you are not selling a subscription to your site or using materials to advertise a product you are selling on the site, such as a T-shirt or wallpaper. Take-Two Interactive reserves the right to request the removal of copyrighted material at any time. If you have any questions, write to

We love it when fans post videos from the game - we love in-game videos from our games and even post them occasionally in the Rockstar News Feed. However, we have a few rules for posting videos on our sites, and we want you to follow them.

In order to make it easier for you to understand our position on this issue, we have compiled a list of materials that we usually require to be removed from sites:

• Clips from unreleased games: No "leaks" with cutscenes from games that haven't been released yet. Any videos from "leaked" copies of games that are not yet released will be removed, regardless of how the game was purchased. This also applies to the video about "unboxing".
• Spoilers: Cutscenes that show the game's ending scenes, story cutscenes without gameplay, or any other cutscenes that reveal significant plot events. It is possible to show story clips if it is part of a larger walkthrough (or "let's play" with user comments), however videos with only story clips will be removed. If you don't know if your video contains spoilers, please write to the address and accurately describe the scene in which you are in doubt, as well as the context in which it will appear.
• In-game entertainment: For example, TV shows and comedy performances in Grand Theft Auto IV, or silent movies in Red Dead Redemption. We want fans to see this in the context of the game world, so we are against posting such videos out of context and will remove them.
• Encouraging cheating: Published videos that approve and encourage ways to earn RP or game money dishonestly, as well as duplicating (faking) game items.

Finally, we reserve the right to remove material that we object to in certain circumstances and to change our policy at a later date. However, we promise to notify you of any such changes.

Of course, if you have any questions about our policies, please send them to

Rockstar Games did it again. And I'm not talking about the unexpected announcement of the game, but about the fact that PC gamers are back in full flight. So, Red Dead Redemption 2 announced only on console for the fall of 2017 (by the way, they will almost certainly be postponed).

Not to say that this is a big surprise. Rockstar games have long disliked the PC audience, because their games come out very late, or do not come out at all, as is the case with the original Red Dead Redemption. But why is this happening?

After all, PC gamers love their games as much as "console players". Perhaps even more. After all, how else to explain the wave of mods that hit every new game? But instead of support Rockstar only stands aside and seems to be yawning from boredom. Although not quite. After leaving gta v they did pay attention to modding and…banned a few mods, tk. they affected the network game.

Yes, creating a PC version is a rather difficult and costly process. Many indicators and variables must be taken into account. But this is Rockstar! They have enough resources to do this. In addition, the new consoles are now part of the same ecosystem as the PC, so the transfer is much easier than in the case of the X-360 and PS3.

By the way, there is a faint hope that Rockstar just want to fully master and test the latest generation of consoles. After all, they did not formally release games on the X-one and PS4. If so, then the PC version is only a matter of time. But, alas, the output on the PC is not confirmed even indirectly.

But for now Rockstar directly spits in the face of PC-players. So, you can remember the last winter sale in Steam. It's been 8 months since the PC version was released. It would be possible to give a discount ... But no. Players were only offered a free card with in-game currency as a gift. And so far (and a year and a half has passed since the release), the maximum discount on gta v was 33%. At the same time, the game always occupies the first line in the Leaders of sales.

Those. It is also impossible to say that the pirates are to blame. Yes, it's a problem and gta v quite hastily was hacked, moreover, the game is still in different variations (4K textures, built-in mods) appears on torrents. However, this did not stop the PC version from selling 6 million copies. Yes, that's just 10% of all versions sold across all platforms. But other publishers don't even dream about it.

So really Rockstar so hate PC and PC gamers? Or just want to focus on consoles? Everything turns out that the first. The PC platform is now more popular than ever, which I even mentioned Sony at the presentation of the new console. Porting due to the structure is also quite simple.

But Rockstar continue to stick to their line. Sooner or later series RDR visit PC. No one will refuse an extra bag of money. The only question is when? Although I would ask another - is it worth waiting for the game with such an attitude?

P.S. We would also like to add that the fans RDR collect a petition for the release of the continuation on the PC - at this link :) 13,000 people have already accumulated in 12 hours! Join now!

This story of "Rock Stars" who do not perform on stage, but are the idols of millions of players around the world, it's time to enjoy the exciting history of the development of Rockstar Games.

send

Having launched a series of articles about the largest gaming publishers, we did not expect that visitors GameGuru it will generate SUCH interest. Behind the numerous comments, one could increasingly see requests to write the history of development companies, such as Blizzard, valve, Rockstar. It is impossible not to go on about when there are so many people around. The first to block the way for genuine publishers was the company Blizzard. You can read her story now.

And now, for all those who passionately wanted to know about the "Rock Stars" who do not perform on stage, but are the idols of millions of players around the world, it's time to enjoy the exciting history of the company's development Rockstar Games.

Big play family

As it turned out after the writing of this material, with Rockstar Games everything is much more complicated than it seemed at first glance. The company is owned Take Two Interactive, but at the same time owns nine branches scattered in different parts of our beautiful planet. In this article, we decided to combine all the information into a single whole, without fully imagining what would come of it. The fears were in vain, because everything turned out very “delicious”. Sit back (what are you sitting on) and enjoy the success story Rockstar.

Now let's mentally fast-forward 13 years. It was then, in 1998, that the Rockstar Games. Among the projects published by the company are:, and other "inconspicuous" titles, where the recent L.A. noire. Now a little geography. Situated Rockstar Games in the heart of the USA - New York. This completes the geography course, and with it a small introductory part; Thanks for attention. Everything? Don't wait. Now the fun begins.

North wind...

One of the oldest branches Rockstar Games is notorious Rockstar North- the creators of the beloved series. Among other operating studios, this subsidiary campaign is rightfully the main one. Year of foundation Rockstar North was the distant 1988th. about any Rockstar there was no talk then.

The founders of the studio in person David Jones(David Jones) Russell Kay(Russell Kay) Mike Daly(Mike Dailly) and Steve Hammond(Steve Hammond) decided to settle on a mysterious name DMA. Those three capital letters meant absolutely nothing. They just caught the eye in the documentation for the Amiga personal computer to one of the guys, after which a new star lit up in the sky of the gaming industry (not yet “rock”). Later, the abbreviation will come up with a decoding: Direct Mind Access, again, not conveying the essence of the company's activities. And what's the deal with the name, when all the employees are solely engaged in the creation of their first games.

Newly minted developers immediately attracted attention by creating projects with a truly addictive gameplay. In 1988, the world saw the scrolling shooter with the intriguing name "Threat" (Menace). A year later, another game of the above-named genre came out - the sci-fi Blood Money. From Zzap!64 magazine, the project received a crazy rating - 94%. First offspring DMA released on the PC (MS-DOS), favored by Amiga, Commodore 64 and Atari ST developers. Having successfully completed the 80s, the no less exciting 90s began.

From animals to killers

February 14, 1991 was released. To say that this game was popular is an understatement. According to Wikipedia, the puzzle has sold about 20 (!) Million copies. Initially, the project was released for one platform - the Commodore Amiga. However, having gained wild popularity on it, it was ported to everything that was possible. Today it will not be difficult to find a version even for PSP or PlayStation 3. After that, the developers' plans for this title have changed dramatically.

Squeeze the maximum out of the brand - the main task facing DMA. There is no other way to explain the appearance over the next four years of such games as: Christmas Lemmings 1993, Lemmings 2: The Tribes, All New World of Lemmings, Lemmings 1994. A few years later, interest in the puzzle began to decline, which means that the company had to switch to new games. By the way, during the “lemmingomania” period, the guys also worked on other creations: Walker (another scrolling shooter) and Hired Guns (RPG). Both were warmly received by the public.

The exit was a turning point not only for DMA but for the entire gaming industry. Unprecedented freedom in the game world and cruelty, which definitely went beyond what was permitted, made a lot of noise. All this only played into the hands of the publisher and developers, and both versions (PC and PlayStation) instantly become bestsellers. The story of a bandit and a car thief who mercilessly crushes pedestrians and cracks down on opponents becomes a new benchmark for other game creators. Many diverse missions, including additional earnings for the protagonist in a taxi, ambulance or fire truck, could not help but become the "chips" of the game. The top view at that time looked very nice, and the profit from sales made DMA, roll up your sleeves, start creating Grand Theft Auto 2.

Change partner

The end of the nineties was a truly eventful period. First of all, this was due to the change of publishers. In 1997 the company was bought by Gremlin Interactive, but two years later it is locked. Developers go under the wing of a French publisher - Infograms, but here, too, fruitful and long-term cooperation did not work out. In 1999, a sequel is released, the publisher of which is listed Rockstar Games. In its turn Rockstar Games was (and still is) the property of take-two. It was this period that predetermined the future DMA.

The sequel inherited all the best from the first part, of course, pleased with many interesting innovations. For example, a multiplayer mode has appeared. Dangerous criminal adventures await in the fictional city of the near future of the protagonist Claude Speed, and all of them, one way or another, are connected with various groups, of which there are seven in the game, including the Russian Mafia. The territory is divided into three huge areas, but before getting into the second or third, it was necessary to collect a specific amount. So, in order to leave the first location, a prerequisite was the presence of at least one million dollars in the "piggy bank" of the protagonist.

GTA 3 and the embrace of Rockstar

As time will tell, the third part will still become a real revolution in the gaming industry, turning out to be the main bestseller among all (!) Video games in 2001 in the United States. Liberty City, strongly reminiscent of New York, was distinguished by incredible detail for those times. In this city, stormy life was in full swing around the clock, the nameless protagonist, who escaped from prison, became a respected crime boss before our eyes, starting his career with a simple "six". Gang fights, racketeering, drugs, prostitution and huge sums at stake - all this DMA laconically tied into an interesting story with boring missions. The move of the series to 3D and all of the above once again set a new bar for all game developers. I want to call it not just a brilliant game, but something more. For example, a new benchmark for sandbox projects, which everyone else should be equal to. By the way, based on 20 reviews, metacritic.com gave the game "only" 93 points out of 100.

After success Rockstar Games acquires a development studio by making DMA with their property. In 2002 the world forgets about DMA and learn about a new brand - Rockstar North. From now on, the "northern" division is working exclusively on its criminal universe, occasionally being distracted by projects like and. Porting games to "bonus platforms" is done by developers from Rockstar Vienna(closed in 2006) and Rockstar Leeds. Before the release (a review of which can be read here), we enjoyed and. Both projects were highly acclaimed by the gaming press and gamers themselves.

Another revolution in the world of sandbox games came with the release of . The opinion of the author of this article does not coincide with the opinion of the author of the review and his final assessment. There is not enough space to list all the advantages of the fourth part, and our material is not about that, but it is worth noting that the charismatic Niko Belik, unlike the hero of the third part, is very colorful. He reveals his past in dialogues and shares his plans for the future, helping his brother Roman (a would-be entrepreneur) to make the American dream come true. This masterpiece should be in the collection of every self-respecting player. And of course, we are not talking about any 49% for the plot.

Other side

Before closing in 2006 Rockstar Vienna under the wing Rockstar Games there were ten studios. Since most of this material is devoted to the main one, we will briefly go over all the others.
In English Rockstar Lincoln undergoes testing and translation of projects under the brand Rockstar Games. The company was formerly known as Tarantula Studios, and in the portfolio of the guys appear ported for the Game Boy Color the first and second parts. Founded in 1997, owned by Rock Stars Tarantula Studios became in 2002. What else can be said about them? Perhaps nothing.

Another thing - Rockstar Vancouver. Judging by the name, it is not difficult to guess the geographic location of the studio. Canadian developers managed to prove themselves exclusively from the best side, because many of you played "school sanbox"? Yes, yes, where the main character with hemp solves his (and others') problems mainly with his fists, from time to time attending boring lessons, where various mini-games await us. Rumor has it guys from Rockstar Vancouver currently busy with the second part. They are also working on a project, the release of which was clearly delayed. By the way, from 1998 to 2002 the studio was called Barking Dog Studios, and its founder is Brian Tolken(Brian Thalken) - a native of Radical Entertainment. However, Vancouver-based Rock Stars is far from the only Canadian studio. In the same country (in Oakville, Ontario) is located Rockstar Toronto. The main task of the division is to port games to the Wii and help others. Rockstar studios in project development. So, in their track record it is worth highlighting:, PC version and episodes of Liberty City.

Rockstar New England(nee Mad Doc Software) appeared not so long ago - in 2008. The previously independent studio managed to distinguish itself with its own projects: Star Trek: Armada 2, and. And if Mad Doc Software created their games mainly for Microsoft Windows, then Mobius Entertainment(now Rockstar Leeds) worked exclusively on the Game Boy Advance platform. Now, under the wing of Rock Stars, the main task of the guys is to create and port games for PlayStation Portable and iOS. Together with Rockstar North was created

GTA Online Network Policy Confirmation. Quite often, players began to encounter a problem in which it is necessary to confirm the network policy or the initial launch in GTA Online every time, and before that the player is transferred to single player mode, and only through it you can go online.

How to get rid of constant confirmation of network policy?

It is difficult to say the cause of this problem in GTA 5 on PC, but there is one solution that can help you.

1. Go to my documents folder, to the folder where the save files from GTA 5 are located ( My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTAV\ ).
2. Delete files launcher.log And settings.xml.
3. Next, go to the Profiles folder, delete the files cfg.dat, pc_settings.bin and folder control. Do not worry, your saves will not be affected, you just have to go to the game settings section and change them, since by deleting the files in the previous step we reset them to the standard ones.
4. Now you can log into GTA Online without any problems. If this solution did not work for you, repeat all the steps above again.
