Because we all don’t play online nor like it. So two people buy the game. You give 1 million rewards for the ones who like half the game. And 0 for the ones who don’t like that half.

Doesn’t seem hard to understand. Imagine ANY game where only online side got updates. Even COD trots out SOMETHING for single player even though 99% of the gamers play online only.

don’t be obtuse

I understand your point, but consider this: They obviously won't please everybody, but they're clearly pleasing the majority of people. What's wrong with that?

i expect the next one to be all online at this point:yeshrug:
Before GTA 5 I never thought I'd careless for a future GTA game. GTA 5 managed to make that happen. Sure I like others speculate what i'd be about and what new location but other than that my hype is dead. CD Project Red has the torch for me with Cyberpunk.

But they aren't... See that's the problem.. 110 million copies of the game, 33 million players online... even if every single one of those copies was a double buy for the new system, that's barely over half... And I'm sure they weren't all double buys.. And I'm sure that 33 million isn't close to active users

So what we have is a company saying fukk the majority, fukk what we always done, fukk our fans... We making money with these other dudes so fukk y'all.
Again... we didn't even ask for A Ballad of Gay Tony or a complete standalone DLC.. People were asking just to port the online guns and cars to the single player and they wouldn't even do that. Let alone 5 missions...


We will all be here GTA 6 and RD3 cause they are the best to do it... But I'll be damned if I shut up about it and act like they didn't play us. nikkas released that same exact game on new systems and didn't give us a damn bonus side quest or nothing

after seeing how they handled RDR2...I’m not geeked about a GTA 6 online...they’ve made it clear online is a straight up cash cow/$$$ grab for them...what made GTA 5 online fun for me was the pure lawlessness of it last gen...and a lot of that carried over to this gen initially...but once they realized how much $$$ they were making off shark cards and started nerfing little things is when online started to go downhill for me...it seemed like they tried to make the game easier/more appealing to casuals/noobs who were more than likely to buy shark cards...GTA 6 online is probably going to be a neutered/watered down experience in comparison...and I’m definitely not looking forward to single player...I haven’t felt compelled to complete a GTA campaign since vice city...this game had an incredible run tho

The majority is people online though. The fact that it’s a top 10 most played game online is all you need to know.

some of those 110 played and beat the game and never touched it again. They do SP DLC and then what? Are all of those people gonna pay for the DLC?

I think they made a business decision...imo not a bad one

I'm not gonna keep going over it breh... I know it was business decision. Of course if someone told me do something new and I'll get 250 million..... or do what I always do and I'll get 150.... Yea I'm gonna go with the extra 100 million dollar move....


But I would LIKE to believe... That once I started making 6 BILLION DOLLARS (profit off gta 5 alone)... that I would throw my loyal customers a bone. I mean goddamn.. If you never made that much in a single year, let alone a single game, I'd think it wouldn't take much to throw some paper at the other side. I'll say again.. People didn't ask them for a 20 hour DLC package.. Put the shyt from online into single player.. How much money and resources out of $6 billion would that have really cost? You make 5,900,000,000 instead of 6? I doubt DLC would have ran them 100 million but hey

Like you said.. It's all about money money money... Don't be shocked when your fans say fukk you for that.

lol I feel you. I might just be the minority in the majority that actually didn't care about the single player DLC because of the "story" dlc they implemented online.
