They were especially doing that back then to avoid having to pay for a patent license for the MP3 codec. You could only play mp3s in the user playlist channel if the OS supplied the mp3 codec.
Is there a commercial consumer OS that doesn’t provide an MP3-compatible decoder api?
Is it news that they are using ogg music files? San Andreas was already doing this in 2004.

I know that a lot of dev notes and other stuff have been leaked, but nothing to confirm the entire source code was leaked. Though I remain hopeful
A friend of mine called me late last night and told me some people were saying the entire game source code was leaked on PC, which was why Rockstar took down their servers for over 24 hours (and then brought it back up without the GTA Trilogy) I know that a lot of dev notes and other stuff have been leaked, but nothing to confirm the entire source code was leaked.

This is really interesting. I remember that the GTA 5 build log file was leaked back in the day. It contained a lot of interesting information too (e.g., something along the lines of an "auto play bot" which failed at a certain mission). I'm looking forward to some summary of this soon in a blog/Youtube video :-). That being said, it's a shame T2/R* is taking down/suing mods for this type of bad port. Despite being w…
This is why I'm still a PC user. Whenever nostalgia hits and I want to play some old games, I don't need to keep around or source some vintage console hardware and games on the 2nd hand market or rely on some low quality ports that were most likely outsourced with poor QA, but I can just get away with installing the original game build off Steam/GOG or from two decades old cracked .iso files, and it will most likely work as Microsoft has done an amazing job with Windows backwards compatibility. And even when it doesn't work out of the box, there are enough resources out there from the community, with tweaks and patches, on how to get it running on a modern OS like Win 10 or even on Linux.

Rockstar is infamous for milking GTA 5 while not spending a dime on doing anything about harassment/trolling/hackers.
I stopped playing GTA 5 after some rando found me in one of the more isolated parts of the map and just decided to kill me over and over and over again. There was nothing I could do to get away from him; I'd respawn close enough to him, and nowhere near a vehicle, so I couldn't escape.
They could easily grant temporary immunity or kick players who kill another player more than once in, say, half an hour....and instantly end the problem of harassment and trolling in-game.

PS2 emulation works pretty well these days.
