Having copy protection allows us to protect the integrity or our titles and future investments, but at the same time we have worked very hard to ensure that our solutions do not persecute the legitimate players of our games. Rockstar: Creating video game entertainment is our passion and we invest a considerable amount of time and effort to release each title, and employ a large number of people in the process.
