Rockstar Games Social Club (Social Club) is a digital rights management, multiplayer and communications service provided by Rockstar Games for use with their latest generation of games. Rockstar Games Social Club was first announced on March 27, 2008,[1] with pre-registration beginning on April 14, 2008.[2] However, that date was moved to April 17, 2008.[3] The name is a reference to organized crime, which commonly uses the term 'social club' to describe a meeting place or hideout. The service received a major update in 2012, prior to the release of Max Payne 3, with the addition of social networking features and a 'crews' system that allows players to form groups and combine their achievements to unlock bonus features.[4][5]
Unfortunately a non active leader had its downside too, most notably the fall of the Devils Within when in March 2018 Boredudex rockstar social club account was allegedly hacked and all of the members above muscle rank were kicked and banned. This was a massive kick in the bollocks minge to all our members.

You just got your copy of GTA V on PC, and you're anxious to explore Los Santos and wreak havoc! However, Steam and Rockstar's version of Uplay, Social Club, are barring the way. Fear not! You are not alone. With the quick tips in this guide, you'll soon be on your way to causing mass mayhem yourself.
Getting (Un)Stuck on Steam Overlay
Many GTA 5 PC players report being stuck in a loop where they're unsure if their accounts actually linked to Social Club or note (there isn't really any feedback letting you know if you're successful or not).
Social Club actually opens the Steam overlay in some cases, covering an 'OK' button on the bottom right-hand side. If you close the Steam overlay with the SHIFT+TAB combination, you should be able to see the button and link the accounts!
After Linking Your Accounts to Social Club
After you successfully link your Steam and Social Club accounts, you may receive an error because Social Club fails to boot. In this case, Rockstar suggests uninstalling the Social Club program and manually reinstalling it from this support page.
Always ensure your Steam cache is verified as well. Right-click the game in your Steam library and click 'Properties'. Then you'll want to click the 'Local' files tab. And then you'll click 'Verify integrity of Game Cache'. If you need to manually add GTA 5 to Steam, click here.
Another possible fix suggested by Rockstar is to run Social Club as an administrator (simply right-click the Social Club program and then select Run as Administrator.)
