Support NeoGAF

[mckmas8808]

Why not $5 a month?

 

[March Climber]

I'm fine with it if they would ACTUALLY overhaul the game...but it's clear they aren't willing to go that far.

Maybe, maybe not. Their latest content feels like they've been taking baby steps towards an overhaul. This subscription service would make perfect sense for it.

 

[NeoGiffer]

 

[Skull-Knight]

Is this decision made by Rockstar or T2 making them do this?

after dan house leaves rockstar, the studio failing.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

LOL GT ACE HOLE

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Disgusting. And you know what? People will play for it.

Only way this stuff subsides and that includes other bullshit in the industry is major apathy across customers but how likely is that?

 

[KyoZz]

R* is becoming the company that they've satirized and mocked in their own games.
Sad times...

Found this, broke my heart a little bit more:

 

[ckaneo]

Stay woke. They want to charge for GTA 6 Online and are testing the waters

PS5/Series X was imo their chance to overhaul it and they didn't.

I just tweet stormed, but i'll reiterate here what I think would make it worth it.

1. Enable business management in private servers

2. Reduced cooldown timers

3. Literally everything you do that pays money needs to have its cash payout doubled, EVERYTHING.

4. All car upgrades free

5. That monthly payout they promised each month needs to be a full $1,000,000, not $500,000.

 

[Vindicator]

the Darkness!

 

[HTK]

When blaming Rockstar for doing something like this, just keep in mind that it's a reflection. You enable it, they shall come. Good day.

Pingas?

It's such a secretive company I have no idea and have been wondering this for years.

I'm leaning towards T2, but it's entirely possible Rockstar's studio management is poisoned.

 

[wvnative]

What about rdr2 online?

Rockstar

I'm a bitch, but I love RDO soooooooo much i'd pay a monthly fee just to support it. But I suspect this indicates it's dead.

 

[BouncyFrag]

Spectacular.

You're most likely right. I just keep thinking 'why introduce a long term subscription service this late into things?' and that's why my gut feeling is telling me an overhaul is likely coming.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

So who running heists?

 

[SCB3]

I'm shocked it took this long tbh

But this would require effort.

[Zimmy68]

I love it.
The GTA Online community killed the single player game and any chance of DLCs.
Keep milking those idiots for as much as you can.

 

[hemo memo]

Exactly. Why do all that when the user base will eat whatever R throws at them.

Yeah, it saddens me also that in 9 years we got only one GTA which Rockstar is milking it to the max.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

GTA :O

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Subs Subs Subs. I can see the future now.

Sub to Game Pass to sub to the Rockstar tier get GTA 6 to sub to GTA +.

 

[The_hunter]

This is disgusting.

 

[SSfox]

 

[Rambone]

I might be the minority here but I think this offer is worth it.

+ 500,000 GTA$
+ Free Property (This month is the Auto Shop)
+ Upgrade to the most expensive Yacht for free
+ Free clothing
+ Free liveries for various vehicles
+ Free Car fully pimped out with Hao's Special Works upgrades and released early to GTA+ members.
+ Various re-imbursements
+ Featured bonus payouts for certain missions.
+ Extra bump in bonus money you get for Shark Cards
+ Can cancel at anytime, so just sub if the monthly offer interests you, claim, cancel and then re-up the next month if you like the offers.

All of this for 5.99, for me this is a no brainer as there is far more value in what they are giving me vs what they are asking for in return. I can skip out on the Starbucks once a month for this...

 

[8BiTw0LF]

I've received ~12 million for the past year as a PS+ subscriber. GT+ will give me 6 million in a year.

Am I missing something, or is this really a shitty deal? lol

 

[Aenima]

You can either pay 5 bukkakos for this and receive half a million per month, or you can do the Cayo Perico heist solo and do 1.5 millions per hour. Choices.

 

[Fbh]

Smart. Get the the complains out of the way now and then when you launch GTA6 with something like this people will already be used to GTA online having an optional subscription.

I think this might be a bit short sighted. I wonder if these actions will leave a bad taste prior to gta6. Probably not but it would be nice if it did

It's GTA.
They could launch an update that intentionally burns down your PC/Console and GTA6 would still sell like 50 million units at launch.
Rockstar/Take Two are finally embracing the fact that GTA is on the same tier as Pokemon, it's so popular with so many generations of players that they can pretty much do whatever the fuck they want and it will sell.

 

[AJUMP23]

Watch it get 10million subscribers.....

 

[ACESHIGH]

I remember paying for a copy of GTAV. Never finished it. What a trash game. Learnt my lesson with RDR2. Still played it though.

 

[Venuspower]

How is this worth 6 bucks per month? Lol.

 

[Jibran#one]

Gta 6 is going to be some of the most nastiest filthiest gutter of microtransactions and subscription.
Wouldn't be surprised if rockstar charges us per minute on the next GTA online the way things are going

 

[Notabueno]

They're beta-testing an online-only, maybe cloud-only, subscription based GTA6 with mtx...as predicted, they're going to be the forerunner of the post-console game streaming dystopia

 

[Notabueno]

Disgusting. And you know what? People will pay for it.

Not so sure. Things eventually change. I think GTA6 is going to be a relative failure unlikely all previous games...

 

[TheMan]

This game came out TWO GENERATIONS ago and it's just now getting a subscription service

The cheek

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Someone needs to destroy the GTAO servers, Fight Club style. Delete all accounts. Delete the source code. Force Rockstar and the the people addicted to this trash to move on.

 

[rapid32.5]

Can I have GTAO Pro 120fps on PS5 Pro next year.

 

[DeepEnigma]

The future is here!

By going back in time.

 

[Javthusiast]

 

[Banjo64]

Shameless

 

[TrebleShot]

Paid for game with GAAS model now has a monthly fee?

Haha Rockstar hit the pinnacle

 

[Utherellus]

 

[IDKFA]

Strauss Zelnick be like:

 

[BeforeU]

lmao this is pretty wild. Can someone summarize what benefits does this provide

 

[BusierDonkey]

People will defend this. If I've learned anything from reading posts on Gaf for the last month, I've leaned that it's okay to charge for shit that's already in the game as long as you can point at another game that also does it.
