Comment on GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

  Personally, I might be done with the series at this point.

  Did they not just put a lot of the vehicles behind a paywall in GTA V this year? If you previously had them, you were fine, but you would be SOL if you didn’t buy them in the game before the update. IIRC some of cars were even stuck behind the GTA+ subscription.

  I don’t want to buy a game, and then have to buy some of the exact same content again years later. They should have also told people that they would be paywalling the cars a decent amount of time before they went through with it, imo.

  It’s not the end of the world or anything, but I’m concerned that this might be an attempt at a new type of profiting. This is worse than the horse armour from Oblivion. At least that gave you new models and textures.

  “We’ll just sell them a game, then we’ll sell them the same assets from the same game years later!”

  Just wait until it spreads to more game companies. I wish that there was a stronger push back when it happened. People are going to completely forget about it until it happens again.

  With their current track record, maybe I’ll buy it after a decade haha

    I just wanna play a good offline story mode. Hopefully GTA+ won’t impact it.

        Aside from R* Social Club being finiky if you’re offline, GTAV and RDR2 didn’t flaunt with the line between SP and MP, in my experience. Each felt separate and optional to the other.

  GTA trilogy wasn’t developed by rockstar iirc. That being said, pre-ordering games is a dumb move anyway since games aren’t finished when they are being released nowadays

    And it’s almost like they cant run out of binary code + a license key to distribute.
    And the preload period is stupid anyway since you will most likely need a day 1 patch anyway.
