Why is Rockstar Games Social Club not working anymore?
Image via Rockstar Games. Rockstar Games Social Club is a DRM software for games like GTA, Red Dead, and many more. This also worked as a central hub of the online communities and services platform for Rockstar titles. This software also made sure that players are well aware about their in-game stats, achievements, leaderboards, Crew and multiplayer events, content sharing, and what not! However, it seems that the era of Rockstar Games Social Club comes to an end. Is Rockstar Games Social Club officially shut down? Frankly speaking, Rockstar Games Social Club was actually more than a DRM. Not only players could authenticate Rockstar titles with Social Club accounts, but they could also manage profiles, link other platforms, etc. With this platform, players could join various communities, Crews to play group missions, and multiplayer modes and events. Social Club featured community tools and content sharing options to get solutions to any in-game issues. Even this platform used to grant exclusive bonuses and rewards. It seems fans won't be able to use these perks anymore as Rockstar Games Social Club is probably defunct. There have been recent reports which suggest that Rockstar Games Social Club now redirects to the standard Rockstar Games homepage. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Live Update: The Strategy Uses By Successful Intraday Trader TradeWise Learn More Undo Not only that, core features of the platform like activity feeds, profile viewing. However, other features of the Social Club, like Crews, in-game progress, friends list and community, and many more can be accessed via the GTA Online website and standard Rockstar Games site. But still, there is no existence of the Rockstar Games Social Club, as of now. This was quite evident looking at the upcoming release of GTA 6. Social Club was obviously pretty useful but on the other hand, it was becoming old day by day. So, Rockstar would never incorporate a 17-year old software to its highly realistic upcoming title. That is why, Social Club's end might mark the addition of a completely new DRM-cum companion software for GTA 6 . This sudden extinction may seem unexpected, but the end of Rockstar Games Social Club was already hinted, two years ago. In late 2023, the official website of Rockstar Games removed all the references of Social Club. However, the features and aspects remained the same, but the wordings changed to 'Rockstar Games Platform.' So, it seems this is the final pin in the coffin of Rockstar Games Social Club.

‘Not an easy decision': The Beer Store is closing 10 more stores in Ontario, including 5 in the GTA
A Beer Store location is seen in this undated photo. (The Beer Store) The Beer Store has announced that it will be closing 10 more locations across Ontario in the next two months, including five in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In a news release, the retailer said one location in Toronto's east end at 636 Greenwood Ave. and another in Scarborough at 4479 Kingston Rd., will both close effective Sept. 14. Also closing on Sept. 14 are locations at 2020 Appleby Line in Burlington, 229 Dundurn St. S. in Hamilton, and 4681 Hwy #7 in Unionville. 'The retail market for beer is changing in Ontario and for The Beer Store that means making the difficult decision to close some retail locations,' Ozzie Ahmed, The Beer Store's vice-president of retail, said in the release. 'This is not an easy decision and not one we make lightly.' Stores in Deep River, Northbrook, Ottawa, Ridgetown, and Sioux Lookout will also close on the same date. The Beer Store says 'all efforts' will be made to support employees through the closures. It is unclear how many employees will be let go, or if they will be moved to other nearby branches. This is the latest in a series of closure-related announcements that the retailer has made since the start of 2025. The most recent round of closures follows the province's move to expand alcohol sales to corner stores across Ontario, which saw Premier Doug Ford broker a new deal with The Beer Store. Part of the new agreement includes keeping at least 386 stores open until July 2025 and at least 300 until Dec. 31, 2025. Nearly 60 stores have been closed or scheduled for closure across the province so far this year. With files from CTV News Toronto's Alex Arsenych
