      They didn’t milk it until later

      They cancelled every piece of single player DLC in order to force people online and towards the Shark Cards.

        I was about to buy it at 40% off before I saw that it was a bundle deal that sells the game at 60% price, and shark card 40% price.

        So fuck that, I am now a permanent conscientious objector against GTAV.

      I never finished it, but I’ve still enjoyed what I’ve played of it. I’ve also never played online. The whole point of GTA is that you can do whatever you want without affecting any real people. Making it multiplayer was never a good idea.

        There was a short period of time where GTA Online was perfection to me. Some QoL stuff hit and you didn’t need to spend real money to hold your own decently while running around. Didn’t last long.

        multiplayer wasn’t possible until gta5, so they weren’t purposely making it not affect real people, that was just the nature of the technology. Gta online in its hay day was fucking amazing.
