    My shocked Pikachu face is starting to feel worn out with shit like this. No duh they’re going to milk online again. Obviously, there’s not likely to be singleplayer DLC again, and they’ll likely lie about not being able to add the multiplayer update stuff to singleplayer. Just like last time.

    Been following this series since the 90s, but I have a sinking suspicion that GTA 5 will be the last I want to play. I love 5, I keep replaying it, it’s totally my jam. This is despite it checking off all the boxes of things I don’t want games to do: requires its own launcher, requires periodic re-activation, pushes microtransactions and begs me to play an online mode that at this point I clearly am not going to.

    Rockstar doesn’t care about its games anymore, they exist solely as money making vehicles, I’m not expecting much from 6.

      I haven’t really put much thought into it, but yeah.

      Chances are the story is going to be heavily compromised. There will probably be a lot of comparison to GTA V and a lot of people will say “this was an out of touch, stupid story with lame characters” or something like that.

    Yea this feels like a send off from one generation of gamers to the next. When I see the online mode for 5 constantly receiving updates STILL, it made me wonder about 6 and my suspicious are almost confirmed. I’m not mad that a great game receives support for its whole life cycle but oh boy did they milk that cow to death.

    I for one always payed hackers like 5-10$ to dump billions on me and never had an issue with getting banned luckily. I refused to give Rockstar any more money with how they monetize the updates. I’m a sucker for a good DLC though. I have every one for the Total War: Warhammer series ಠ_ಠ

      Meanwhile, I had my account suspended when hacking was at it’s peak. Never touched a cheat, reported a handful of them.

        They had a lot of fuckery going on, as you well know. Like you a lot of people got shit canned for no reason basically. I have no idea but somehow I slipped through the cracks.
