The Rockstar Games launcher has been down for over 18 hours and has left players stranded without access to their games library. Whether it be GTA V, the GTA Trilogy - Definitive Edition or Red Dead Redemption 2, people are currently unable to play any of Rockstar's roster on PC.
The exact reason for the launcher being down is unconfirmed. At the time of writing, Rockstar has only stipulated that is it due to maintenance issues. Whether this was scheduled maintenance that went awry, or an outage due to server errors is unknown.

With the re-release of the GTA Trilogy, it is a possibility that the servers have crashed, rendering the launcher broken. It is an unfortunate time for people who purchased the Trilogy on PC, as they have not been able to play it since it was released.
For now, as of Nov. 12th, the game has been temporarily taken off of the marketplace so that people cannot purchase something they momentarily will not be able to play.
Fans and players are calling for Rockstar titles to return to Steam. The Rockstar launcher seems to have been a problem on more than one occasion and has people missing when a third-party system was handling the downloads and launching of their games.
