Downloading Grand Theft Auto V for free – should you?
The Epic Games Store said it’d be a thing to do.
But Epic’s servers got too many coming through.
(Oh-a-oh-a)
The servers struggled, 11:00 a.m. EDT,
So many trying to get GTAO for free,
The net result is broken logins now, you see.
(Oh-a-oh-a) This free promotion!
(Oh-a-oh-a) Caused mixed emotions!
GTA killed the Epic Games Store!
GTA killed the Epic Games Store!
Download free to draw in fans.
Now even Fortnite players struggle to log on!
Good will and bandwidth are alarmingly all gone!
It was a good idea, it seems to have gone wrong.
(Oh-a-oh-a) The game’s six years old!
(Oh-a-oh-a) But it’s still well-sold!
GTA killed the Epic Games Store!
GTA killed the Epic Games Store!
On desktop and on my screen,
