Originally, GTA IV's PC release required the player to install a proprietary Social Club launcher alongside GTA IV; the feature drew flak early after the PC version's release as the program adds to the cumbersomeness of the execution of the game, which is also attached to Games for Windows LIVE. In April 2010, the 1.0.6.0 patch for GTA IV, released in conjunction with the PC versions of The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, significantly tones down the dependency for a launcher by uninstalling the original launcher and replacing it with a simpler version attached directly to the game. | |||
