GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles (kotaku.com)

I'm confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

I'll wait anyway. And I'm most definitly not gonna preorder after the mega fail that was the GTA Trillogy.

Personally, I might be done with the series at this point.

Did they not just put a lot of the vehicles behind a paywall in GTA V this year? If you previously had them, you were fine. You would be SOL if you didn't buy them in the game before the update, though. IIRC some of cars were even stuck behind the GTA+ subscription.

I don't want to buy a game, and then have to buy some of the exact same content again years later. They should have also told people that they would be paywalling the cars a decent amount of time before they went through with it, imo.

It's not the end of the world or anything, but I'm concerned that this might be an attempt at starting a new type of profiting. This is worse than the horse armour from Oblivion. At least that gave you new models and textures.

"We'll just sell them a game, then we'll sell them the same assets in the same game years later!"

Just wait until it spreads to more game companies. I wish that there was a stronger push back when it happened. People are going to completely forget about it until it happens again.

With their current track record, maybe I'll buy it after a decade haha

I just wanna play a good offline story mode. Hopefully GTA+ won't impact it.

Me every time they shove mandatory online "features" into single player modes 🤬

Aside from R* Social Club being finiky if you're offline, GTAV and RDR2 didn't flaunt with the line between SP and MP, in my experience. Each felt separate and optional to the other.

I tried RDR:O since I got free stuff from Prime.
It was so desynchronized and laggy I just closed the game and went back to SP.

Never played much GTAV (4 was the last good one as far as I'm concerned, at least so far) but yeah, I loved how RDR2 and RDR Online don't force one into the other!

Turns out that people WOULD download a car and megacorps are profiteering on that too 😮‍💨
