I bought GTA4 when it came out. First thing that happened: I had to create a Microsoft Games (or whatever) account. So I go online to do that. But I found I had to create a live.com account, with an email account as well (what the hell is live.com, and what does this have to do with Microsoft, and why do I need that to play GTA!?). All this on my painfully slow and pricy connection at the time. I eventually figured it all out, but I vowed to never touch a Rockstar game again.
