      GTA V’s single player content support was immediately cut when they found how much money their MMO style game makes by F2P monetization.

      We will see the same terrible business tactics: Delay PC release so much that people buy the console versions, the PC release will be superior thanks to the then progressed technical advancements and the mod support to double dip, and then triple dip, because new content will be online only with MTX, if they don’t abolish single player from the get go.

        It’s sad because DLCs were a great way to get new story based content without having to wait over a decade for a sequel. Same with Red Dead Redemption. Seeing the map south open up and having no missions there that could have been used for future story DLCs was depressing.

        I hate that so many people are drawn to spending money on online mtx. I never saw the appeal of spending money there, but tons of people love it. Kind of wish I loved it as much as they do so I wouldn’t be so bothered by the departure from story DLCs.

        Don’t forget remove content from the PC Version then stop updating it hoping that it gets people to buy it again on the newer consoles.

        I liked GTA V and I’m not even against forever games (big CK2 for example), but as soon as it became all MMO junk I just stopped carrying. Just not my bag 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷

      “Our game is so immersive, if you dont pay 16% interest monthly for your vehicle, it gets repo’d. But our new and improved shark cards can cut that interest in half for a small price of $60, or $120 to reclaim the vehicle that very moment.”
