The version you obtain matters. If you download from Rockstar Warehouse, you’ll typically have access only to the copies they sold there, not the Steam version. Playing with others who bought it from Steam would depend on whether their copy is compatible and if you’re using the same platform.

SwiftCraftmc explained that purchasing from R* means using the R* launcher, which mainly serves as a loading screen.

It's often more affordable on Rockstar Social Club mainly because users tend to keep it in their Steam library. Many people stream continuously just for automatic updates. I'm not sure if R* offers updates through Social Club, but I definitely don’t want the game running constantly.
