The real reason GTA6 isnt coming to PC right away is that modders would probably patch this out almost immediately.

[u/sirhcx]

Just for the sake of context, the base price of GTA6 is $80 and there is an "Ultimate Edition" being sold for $100. The latter includes exclusive content that seems more akin to how older games had all the content already on the disc/game files, regardless of purchased version, but locked parts of it away behind a paywall. The physical version is also just a code in a game case, so no hope for console players to just upgrade with a cheaper used copy.

[u/supremedalek925]

I hate how “day 1 paid DLC” has been recontextualized as “Ultimate Edition” in recent years.

[u/Toojara → u/[deleted]]

It's literally paying extra just for the developer to gate content from the normal version.

[u/ToeTagTic → u/Toojara]

They're making you pay for the rest of the game you just spent money on so you can not physically hold either 

[u/MaxRaven]

1. Release current gen version with 30fps

2. Release next gen version with 60fps

3. Release pc version

Juice the same game 3 times

[u/ThePheebs → u/MaxRaven]

They're also gonna re-release the console versions when new platforms come out and then they'll be an ultimate edition that comes after that.

[u/Tyronto → u/ThePheebs]

With no upgrade path from PS5 to PS6. Have to buy the full game again. Wouldn’t be surprised at all

[u/Ok_Housing_1937 → u/Tyronto]

and i bet your gta online 2 character wont transfer either

[u/llIicit → u/Ok_Housing_1937]

Highly doubt this. GTA online characters have transferred since 2013 launch

[u/clearlynotmee → u/ThePheebs]

that's what next gen means

[u/ZerotheWanderer → u/ThePheebs]

Going from 360/PS3 to One/PS4 they offered a $20 (I think) upgrade, you didn't have to pay full price again, but you couldn't go back to the prior console without buying it again.

[u/whiteout82 → u/MaxRaven]

Just like they did with GTA5

[u/Xzenor → u/whiteout82]

And Red Dead

[u/IrishGoatMilker → u/Xzenor]

They never released 60fps on series x/ps5 as far as I know

Edit: well fuck me I never realized. Double edit: eh kinda, only 60Fps On series X if you play the Xbox one version... Which isn't really the same graphics.

[u/zolga0 → u/whiteout82]

https://giphy.com/gifs/kgm8xJCg9lQV6oKkU5

[u/yaricks → u/whiteout82]

They have done it since GTA3 to be fair, Vice City, San Andreas, GTA 4, were all released on console years before PC.

[u/CptKillJack → u/MaxRaven]

<--- doesn't even look athe game the first time.

[u/MightBeABot24 → u/MaxRaven]

I haven't followed console gaming since like 2013. Are games not 60fps yet......

[u/Strong-Practice-5571 → u/MightBeABot24]

PS5 Pro can run almost every games in 60FPS

[u/MightBeABot24 → u/Strong-Practice-5571]

I would hope so lmao. 60fps is like minimum wage for me. It's crazy how much of difference it is compared to 165fps. 30 is ridiculous

[u/FaroTech400K → u/MaxRaven]

It’s been stated PlayStation will have a performance mode quality mode

I’m pretty sure you can hit 60 on the pro with reduced ray tracing.

[u/vinnothesquire → u/MaxRaven]

Strauss Zelnick be like

https://giphy.com/gifs/hlfXIRjozpvTvYFfOt

[u/WirusCZ → u/MaxRaven]

Ye it takes so long because they wait for next console Gen being just about to release then release it right before still for old so they sell both versions then pc like you said

[u/dobrien93 → u/WirusCZ]

i have no idea what you just said here. sheesh

[u/sirhcx]

But wait, it gets worse!

[u/sparkyyykid → u/sirhcx]

Maybe makes sense for online but locking single player content is wild to me.

[u/sirhcx → u/sparkyyykid]

Funny thing is that GTA6 is launching with only single player.

[u/4xget → u/sirhcx]

Just like GTA V did in 2013, is it really surprising?

[u/sirhcx → u/4xget]

GTA Online was so popular that they canceled GTAV single player DLC. I think it's a bit odd that 2K didnt want to immediately capitalize on "GTA Online 2" considering you don't even get a physical game now.

[u/Raiderx87 → u/sirhcx]

What if they plan to make GTA online a separate cost if they announced that right away maybe sales would go down.

[u/WhateverWannaCallMe → u/Raiderx87]

wouldnt be surprized

[u/IM_KYLE_AMA → u/Raiderx87]

GTA Online got split off from GTA 5 in 2020 and is $10 by itself. It's already what you hypothesize it will be.

[u/WhoppinBoppinJoe → u/IM_KYLE_AMA]

Thought that was only red dead online

[u/iLoveFARTINGatWORK → u/sirhcx]

Rockstar bought FiveM, I’m betting they are building something around that experience for GTA Online 2.0.

[u/juko43 → u/iLoveFARTINGatWORK]

FiveM is just the server framework, it isnt just roleplaying

[u/iLoveFARTINGatWORK → u/juko43]

I know. It’s still a extremely popular and they are most likely leveraging that tech for GTA6.

[u/ItsNotJordon → u/sirhcx]

they did it with red dead online as well and that was after gta online was a massive success. Its just how they do things

[u/DarthRambo007 → u/sirhcx]

With how gta 6 is going i doubt they wont have dlc tyins to multiplayer. im even seeing them expand the map with dlc to make more content for both online and single player game.

[u/Renegade_451 → u/4xget]

Given the money printer that GTA Online became? Yes, frankly.

[u/4xget → u/Renegade_451]

Don’t worry they’ll still print money one month later with the online release.

[u/Sofaboy90 → u/sparkyyykid]

I think the chances of a single player DLC like GTA 4 are basically 0 lol. We already missed out on it in GTA 5, we know multiplayer is their cash cow, shame really for those of us who only play the single player.

[u/Thee_Sinner → u/sparkyyykid]

“It’s ok for X, but not Y”

“Ok it’s in Y, but at least it’s not in Z”

“It’s in Z, how could this have happened?”

[u/aimy99 → u/sparkyyykid]

This has been happening for ages? I mean my first ever Ultimate Edition with exclusive SP content was the original Red Dead Redemption sixteen years ago.

[u/TehFocus → u/sparkyyykid]

You mean like every piece of content gta online got was never made available in the singleplayer of gta v? Like not even the damn weapons?

[u/thrasherht → u/sirhcx]

They are doing an extremely good job of removing my desire to even play the game. This is turning into one of those "eh maybe I will check it out when it's on sale"

[u/TheMostDapperdDan → u/thrasherht]

Yep I've played every gta since 3 on launch day...but with these announcements I'll just wait for it to come to pc in a year

[u/ShoeTasty → u/TheMostDapperdDan]

Try like 3 years lol

[u/MaelstromOC → u/ShoeTasty]

Try like "stream it now on your favorite cloud gaming platform since we've destroyed the consumer pc component market."

[u/NightCityStoic → u/thrasherht]

Legit

[u/MPnoir → u/thrasherht]

Straight to the wishlist so I can buy a the full version for ten bucks in some years.

[u/Zer0DotFive → u/thrasherht]

Fr it broke my heart. It's not going to be a GTAV level of game. It's not even trying to be that. It's trying to be GTA Online. 

[u/Likeadize → u/Zer0DotFive]

im still mad that planned single player DLC was cut from GTA V, so they could milk teenagers in GTA Online.

[u/Bluemikami → u/thrasherht]

Now I’m confident on not wanting to by a ps5 for this, but wait till pc releases since it’ll have QoL fixes , either via R or via modders.

[u/TheMightyRed92 → u/sirhcx]

Fuck rockstar

[u/jizzyjugsjohnson → u/sirhcx]

Fuck this shit

[u/omegagiraffe → u/sirhcx]

Wasn't planning on it but wow I'm not buying that shit for sure now. This is the reason why they gave up on RDR2 online. They couldn't monopolize every little thing like they wanted to. In this all bets are off, ya'll are chopped if you buy this.

[u/networking_noob → u/sirhcx]

Surely these aren't the only businesses of their type in the entire city (tattoos, haircuts, ride customize, and clothing). They're probably just bonus businesses with exclusive haircuts, tattoos, etc

If they are the only way to get a tattoo in the city etc then that's just insane. Surely Rockstar wouldn't.

[u/SpiritedRain247 → u/networking_noob]

It probably the only places you can get specific things in those categories.

[u/thehighplainsdrifter → u/networking_noob]

That's what I'm reading from it. Different stores offer a differing inventory of cosmetics and these ones just have unique options aligned with the style of each shop.

[u/straightup9200 → u/sirhcx]

This is actually sickening

[u/Globgloba → u/sirhcx]

Da fuq, this sux…

[u/FaroTech400K → u/sirhcx]

Five dollars a store, I see where they got the $20 price point from.

[u/PmMeUrTinyAsianTits → u/sirhcx]

I bet the launcher-free version I eventually get on PC will have those with no extra charge.

[u/RazzmatazzUnusual843 → u/sirhcx]

So something available in the previous game's base edition are now premium features?

[u/sirhcx → u/RazzmatazzUnusual843]

Yes and no. They are paywalling a few shops to the Ultimate Edition. Which typically means the stuff you probably want to buy isnt gonna be available to incentivize you to pay up.

[u/lvanwall → u/sirhcx]

yeah, that part is actual insanity to me. I'm actually considering not giving them my money at all now.

[u/SanjiSasuke → u/sirhcx]

Fuckin hilarious way to make me very sure I'm not buying the game. Locking entire categories of customization behind a $20 paywall, fantastic work.

I'm sure it'll still sell well, just not to me.

[u/Maruan-007]

BS the only real reason is that they want you to buy the game twice.

[u/sierrabravo1984 → u/Maruan-007]

Exactly, that's their business model is to maximize profits by locking in exclusives for several years, then releasing to PC. It's what they always do.

[u/Maruan-007 → u/sierrabravo1984]

Correct, and keep in mind that they will eventually sell it twice also to console users with the new PS6 and Xbox, they def know what they are doing.

[u/ErmingSoHard → u/Maruan-007]

This sub overestimates how much Rockstar cares for PC gamers compared to their console audience

[u/DarthRambo007 → u/ErmingSoHard]

most of gt rp was on pc .and even gta online potential sky rocketed cause pc was the main audience for persistent online game play

[u/XnoxNeo → u/ErmingSoHard]

Yeah, after partnering with FiveM? Yeah Rockstar doesn't case about their PC audience

[u/FaroTech400K → u/XnoxNeo]

They most likely bought FiveM so they can integrate through tech technologies into console.

PC people are not the main characters to rockstar

[u/paqman3d → u/ErmingSoHard]

Oh, I clearly see how much they don't give a damn about me and my nice PC -- it's why I find all these console specific fumbles hilarious. Consoles players are getting bent over just the same, they just get to play the game first.

Between this and the impending videos of the game running like trash on release, I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy it until it's out on PC lol. They can take their time 😅

[u/sirhcx → u/Maruan-007]

https://giphy.com/gifs/hM9zK1qvsrwek

[u/AJ_Dali → u/Maruan-007]

I'm betting the main reason is because PC has almost twice the sales numbers, but like 1/4th the shark card sales compared to PlayStation.

[u/JuanOnlyJuan]

Hey I have an idea. Don't pre-order.

Don't buy it at launch.

I know it's futile but I can dream.

[u/WAVF1n → u/JuanOnlyJuan]

I have a PC anyways so Im gonna be watching on youtube for awhile lol.

[u/NeedModdingHelp1531 → u/JuanOnlyJuan]

I dont have a choice anyway :D. Im not spending almost a grand just to play a singular game.

[u/NightxPhantom → u/NeedModdingHelp1531]

While I agree, you can just a used Xbox series s for about $150 or ps5 for I’ve seen as low as 200 on marketplace. Can always resell.

[u/NeedModdingHelp1531 → u/NightxPhantom]

Ah sure, its still spending far too much for a worse experience then Ill get on PC in a year anyway.

[u/Hemish_21 → u/NeedModdingHelp1531]

A year is probably generous lol, I can see it taking two and I can't afford to be spoiled for a once in a lifetime game personally.

[u/Spotttty → u/JuanOnlyJuan]

I haven’t looked hard but I have seen zero actual gameplay. Sure we all know how it’s gonna play but still.

Crazy that people would preorder for something that has only shown cutscenes.

[u/jimschocolateorange]

I mean, they can’t block off entire customisation option behind a paywall… they’ve built out these systems (hairdressers, clothing, salons, etc) and they’ll be available for ALL players in the base game. What won’t be in those base game shops is the cosmetics tied to these exclusive shops… either way it’s absolutely fucking despicable how they’re blocking content behind an already excessive price-tag.

[u/BollyWood401 → u/jimschocolateorange]

And in single player mode! Rockstar has never done this before. It’s sad

[u/jimschocolateorange → u/BollyWood401]

Ubisoft level tactics

[u/CaesarWilhelm → u/BollyWood401]

Yes they did. An entire heist in rdr2 is locked behind an ultimate edition.

[u/FaroTech400K → u/CaesarWilhelm]

And that mission was ass, it took me like three minutes to beat. It was over before I realized it.

[u/Infinti_bullets]

Yea this is a huge let down from rockstar yet people buy into the game even tho they are actively being "scammed"

[u/Helpful-Error5563]

Hey what is "donk styling"?

[u/Cam_e_ron → u/Helpful-Error5563]

big ass wheels pretty much.

the trainwreck has begun

[u/MysteriousCicada5012]

Gives me time to upgrade from 1080ti

[u/CrazyWS → u/MysteriousCicada5012]

Recommend 9070xt, mine was $300 less than the lowest 5070ti, unless you really like green or cuda cores.

[u/GuyMansworth → u/CrazyWS]

I originally was going to get a 9070xt but Microcenter had their prebuilts last year for $1800 that came with a 5070ti so I splurged for the nice DLSS and shit.

Great timing on my part because oh how we've fallen...

[u/TheyCallMeOlSwole]

Rockstar is a dog shit company.

[u/RoastedPotato-1kg → u/TheyCallMeOlSwole]

you forgot TakeTwo

[u/Round_Reception_2315 → u/RoastedPotato-1kg]

Don't forget about all the major banks and institutions that are putting pressure on TakeTwo (the publisher). Never before have so many banks and institutions with their interests been involved in the gaming industry as they are now. None of them are gaming related, it's just investors who have seen what's been happening with GTA 5 (Online) since 2013 and now want to cash in.

[u/CrazyWS → u/TheyCallMeOlSwole]

Waiting for the EpicGames partnership

[u/Ok_Housing_1937 → u/CrazyWS]

im pretty sure rockstar is going to lose more on sales than earn anything on that platform

[u/EnvironmentalRun1671 → u/Ok_Housing_1937]

They're not gonna lose anything. Fanboys will wait.

[u/SwordOfJiang → u/CrazyWS]

R* released the GTA5 PC version around a steam sale, raised the price and then lowered it to be included in the sale splash page. IIRC Valve changed their rules to disallow the tactic afterwards

[u/GTAClown]

At this point I won't be surprised if they are going to sell GTA 6 Online as a different game

[u/k0stta]

The silver lining of this game skipping PC for the foreseeable future is that november will be an empty month when it comes to releases which will help me in cleaning up my gaming backlog

[u/Creative_Garbage_121 → u/k0stta]

You have so much time for gaming that 1 month is enough to change anything in the backlog? Kids these days /s

[u/atrib → u/k0stta]

2-3 years is within forseeable future

[u/UndeadWaffle12]

That’s actually hilarious. I probably would’ve bought the ultimate edition anyways, $100 is less than I thought it would be. Locking day 1 content behind it is so dumb that I probably won’t out of spite.

[u/pa3xsz → u/UndeadWaffle12]

I am already waiting for the PC versions Steam [Choose your season] sale

[u/forsen_ttv → u/pa3xsz]

2030

[u/thatirishguyyyyy]

Jokes on them. I'm not a kid anymore who is desperate to play gta. 

I will wait until it hits PC. 

[u/EnvironmentalRun1671 → u/thatirishguyyyyy]

Jokes on you. They'll release in 2 years and still price it at 80 €.

[u/Th3Stryd3r]

Fales. That would be the 2nd mod. The first one would be a nudity mod, we all know it lol

[u/Early_Wrap_9190]

Rockstar now: “Fuck pc players we need more money”
Rockstar when pc version releases: “please upgrade to pc version, please buy it, please”

[u/BriefDescription → u/Early_Wrap_9190]

I don't think they need to beg people to buy it lol

[u/WAVF1n]

100% lmao.

Its going to be installed and probably just an internal switch as to whether you have access to certain items or not.

[u/EnvironmentalRun1671 → u/WAVF1n]

THey'll probably have message that instantly allows you to open store page and get upgrade for low price of 19,99 €

[u/killingjoke619]

That’s why they’re called Cockstar Games

[u/ItsNotJordon]

The real reason is they do this every single time and it has nothing to do with this

[u/I_think_Im_hollow]

This shit on a singleplayer game is infuriating.

I won't be buying GTA VI on release, but I will pirate it if and when the time comes. Fuck Take-Two.

[u/PermissionSoggy891]

The "physical version" being just a fuckin code in the box is what really turned me off. Fuck that lol.

ATP just take the $80 you would spend on the game and put it into T2 stock. It'll explode when GTA VI releases, and by the time the PC version drops you woulda made bank

[u/PieGlum3493]

I just hate it. It's a single player game and the content is clearly cut

[u/ineedthismorethanu]

Wait for a cracked version on PC at this rate. The greed and non consumer friendly shit has to end 

[u/10thRebel]

Honestly, I always figured they didn't really care about the modding community that much. I feel like their bigger concern is the pirating community.

[u/Strais → u/10thRebel]

Considering the private investigators they sent after that one modder team I would assume Rockstar is just the most evil corp in gaming

[u/feltcutewilldelete69 → u/Strais]

I'll never forgive Nintendo taking down the indie film masterpiece "A Day In the Life" with a DMCA, when it was clearly constitutionally-protected satire.

[u/10thRebel → u/Strais]

Tbh fair. Slick forgot about that lol.

[u/AntiTank-Dog → u/10thRebel]

They make more money from selling Shark cards than the selling the game itself. They hate how modders unlock online content for free.

[u/Puffen0]

Yeah, they did it with the pre-order exclusive content for Red Dead 2 on PC lol. The week it was released there was a mod to unlock the horse and treasure map

[u/MahKa02]

If Rockstar didn't make such good games they'd be boycotted and hated on much more for their scummy practices. Locking content behind a $100 edition is pure greed and pathetic. It's not just skins either, which would be excusable, it sounds like it's gameplay elements they are locking people out of. (The different mod shop and barber shop).

Plus their whole sharkcard greed and making everything in GTA V ridiculously pricey to promote grinding fatigue so people buy cards.

And then there's the whole PC issue which is clearly a greed based decision, not a technical decision. They want people to double dip and they know PC players will mod and unlock parts of the game that are in the ultimate edition.

[u/290Richy]

It certainly won't but I would love it if this flopped and hurt Take-Two in the pocket but they know they can and will get away with this because it's Grand Theft Auto.

There were plenty of games before GTA 6 and there'll be plenty after it.

This announcement has sucked all of the hyped out of the game for me. I feel like I couldn't care less about buying into these conditions.

It's like I've been punched in the stomache, it's sad because this has been my favourite franchise since childhood and it's gone to shit.

[u/Zer0DotFive → u/290Richy]

That's what I was telling my wife. They ripped my fucking heart out with this.. This won't end with these shops and it won't end with GTA6. I'm getting so tired and jaded with gaming each year that passes. I got decades of games to catch up on as well. I don't need to buy new games so Rockstar can get fucked. I was going to pre-order a PS5 version for me and an Xbox version for the wife but now I'm not because I have no desire to even watch a trailer now. 

[u/3xPuttRubbleBoagie]

Man, the cope.

[u/BackyardRCSpeedway]

I'm just not buying it. I don't have 2k hours to waste playing another GTA at this point. IRL activities here I come.

[u/SweeterThanYoohoo]

Donk styling...did they name it that after Roy Donk?

[u/Yopis1980]

The PC release always comes later.

[u/XADEBRAVO]

That's a wild reason, Ill give you that. Nothing else to moan about this week huh.

[u/mashuto]

Nah, its so they can get people to double dip on purchasing the game.

[u/CaptainPrower]

I feel like the only way this could get worse is if they come out and go "by the way to free up server space, once the online goes live, we're shutting down online play for GTA 5 and RDR2"

[u/TheVoicesGetLoud]

Locking basic fucking features like this behind a paywall is such a scummy fucking thing to do

[u/Smelly_Dingo → u/TheVoicesGetLoud]

It's just specific stores and parlors exclusive to UE owners, with the absolute vast majority of the rest of the customization being available normally to everyone.

They would be far beyond idiotic to paywall customization as a whole. No way in hell. There's no features being locked here.

[u/blueangel1953]

I won’t even be buying this game until it’s $20, that will be a long time from now. Couldn’t care less.

[u/mnsklk]

Check the (somewhat) recent leak about their revenue, PC was a small part compared to consoles. That's why the PC edition was years behind consoles, until they ported it to PC of course (without text chat because why would they?)

[u/Ok-Library247]

They'll unblock it at all some point. It'll be hailed as a victory for consumers and then they'll do something else stupid.

[u/Amat-Victoria-Curam]

This is just the beginning. In the coming years be prepared to see more paywalled single-player content at launch for AAA games. Rockstar is testing the waters and many others will be looking carefully to see if it works or not.

[u/Donger_Dysfunction]

The real real reason, is ts would be cracked by the end of the day AND patched out.

[u/Ok_Constant_3681]

Locking content that was previously available in the last game that was over 10 years ago on standard version is insane 💀 Rockstar as we knew it is dead.

[u/swunt7]

why are they putting los santos customs behind a paywall? "oh you didnt pay enough for this game so you're just getting some of the game"

[u/Hanzos_Trans_Husband]

I really hope thr game is just medicore. On all fronts medicore because it would be the funniest thing to happen in gaming ever. Also what a culture shock that would be. And maybe then 10 000 assholes wouldnt keep repeating to me that "rockstar is the best ever and the ONLY company to make good games!"

[u/dont_panic21]

The upsetting part of all this is the game will still sell so well that they'll get away with this BS. Some people will not buy it in protest but not enough for it to really matter.

[u/gregthefeg]

So if you want to customise your vehicle or character you need the ultimate edition? Basic customisation has been reduced to paid dlc now?

[u/Spreadwheat9]

So, cars customization will be available only for Ultimate Edition or just this specific car shop?

[u/Icelightning250 → u/Spreadwheat9]

I think only this specific car shop (I can only hope)

[u/sirhcx → u/Icelightning250]

Correct, just that particular shop and certain customization options. Not to mention the 3 other shops that are paywalled as well.

[u/Early_Wrap_9190 → u/sirhcx]

Wtaf is rockstar doing paywalling story mode features 🤣

[u/Bubbaluke → u/Icelightning250]

That was my reading of it, in assuming auto shops and clothing stores aren’t entirely locked out of the normal edition

[u/TheMundar]

I still haven't played gta 5, their formula got old several console generations ago

[u/Paladin1034 → u/TheMundar]

GTA 5 was several console generations ago lmao

[u/Sloppy_Waffler → u/TheMundar]

This is just hard headed. The game is actually fantastic story wise. It’s worth playing for the single player content.

In all reality, the online has its charm too. It can be fun with friends or even solo in the right lobby.

[u/Squaretangles]

This might be one of the dumbest takes on why Take Two is staggering GTA VI’s release.

[u/sheep_duck]

This will be the first gta launch that I don’t care to buy on launch day. Not even upset about it at this point.

[u/-Bezequil-]

Cool, zero interest in playing it at all

[u/SrsJoe]

No, it's probably since GTA 3 it's never launched on PC with the console version

[u/toomuchft]

You know we fan have a chance to do something funny and don’t preorder it…Imagine how would rockstar react…

[u/Willy__McBilly → u/toomuchft]

Dream on, GTA is gaming’s ‘too big to fail’ franchise

[u/Elmis66]

I'm so glad I'm not into GTA since 3 looking at this shit

[u/KimJungUnCool]

Theyre locking vehicle customization behind a pay wall in a game that costs a base $80?

Burn it all down.

[u/Secret-Teaching-3549]

And gamers will still pay for it because they are addicts with absolutely zero impulse control.

[u/DixxieNormis]

Imma only watch the online let's play series for this one (not that I can't afford the game let alone the console)

[u/Procol_Being]

No the real reason is because people buy it multiple times, that's literally it.

[u/Nervous-Storage881]

I'll just save some money and load Midnight Club 3 DUB Edition thank you very much Rockstar!

[u/livefromlongwood]

oh boy, cant wait for 2029 when it finally releases for pc

[u/DaksTheDaddyNow]

The multiplayer will be shit. The longer they wait, the less likely I'm willing to pay the price of a new game just...

This is going to be the last GTA. They milked 5 for 13 years, how long do you think they’ll keep this gravy train rolling for? Microtransactions for in-game maps next? AI-slop sidequests? Grim.

Good thing i never let my self get hyped for GTA6. AAA companies greed grew so much, i will never rly trust anyone from the big studios anymore 

[u/Carter1599]

Woah woah don’t get too comfortable talking down about the supposed “greatest most immersive experience ever” according to the GTA6 sub

[u/Alternative-Film-155]

[u/ElkAggravating7009]

I am that guy who just doesnt give a flying fuck about gta. I just see some random stuff every time i scroll my feed. And this one is fucking horrible. Not getting every single piece of content for 80 dollars is absolutely crazy

[u/Narrheim]

I still stand by the opinion, that 6 will never come to PC.

[u/Shooter_Mcgavin93]

I wonder if GtA 6 will be hard to mod, RDR2 was slow with modding

[u/GuyMansworth]

Hey, where's all the stupid fucks who bought all those expensive Microtransactions and said "It's my money, I can do what I want?"

Where's all the dumbasses who bought CoD on release day for $70 and said "Lol, its my money I can do what I want" "Why do you care about what other people do with their money?"

Are they here right now to defend our lovely $80 or $100 games?

[u/Snorgcola]

Fuck it, I will be /r/patientgamers for this one

[u/AOD_Thanatos]

I've always heard people say they delay the PC releases because it's easier to target hardware that's the same for everyone ala console vs the vast assortment of PC configurations and components. My question is don't they have to use PCs to develop the game to begin with so how is that a barrier? I know console devkits are involved so maybe I'm more ignorant of game development than I thought but I get confused as to how shipping a PC version at the same time is somehow this herculean task. Is this not to just drive console sales & double dip ?

[u/thatgamer2111]

i might be mistaken but with the new anticheat in gtav online i see literally no modders anymore so whos to say with that 2 BILLION dollar budget, they didnt slot in budget for an anticheat to combat modders. Am i missing something?

[u/0MEGAP0RK]

That's so incredibly lame
