Seen as they are adding a proper offline option, does anyone know if I can launch this straight from steam or do I need another shitty launcher with another account?

edit never mind it says requires 3rd party account, in which case even for such a price you can get fucked

Hey I'm moving to PC, given the state of consoles, can one take to the high seas and launch those games through Steam? I already own GTA V like 3 times now and Im not buying it again.

If so is that an alternative to third party launchers in this case?

As the other commenter mentioned you can add games to steam as a non steam game to launch it via that. With pirated games I'm more than happy to launch from an icon though, it isn't the actual method of launching that bothers me as much as it does making different bs accounts from these shitty companies.

Rockstar forces its own launcher if you want a legit copy but I'm guessing a pirate version will circumvent this.
