GTA Online adds a quality-of-life feature players have wanted for years then upsets everyone by paywalling it: 'One of the slimiest things they've done in a while' (www.pcgamer.com)

If there is a "single player only" 😬

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

If it was multiplayer only, there'd be no point in making it. All the stuff would already be going into GTA Online.

Red Dead Redemption 2 single player was amazing (and to date the only game that I would apply Ubisoft's laughable AAAA label to), despite them knowing that online would be an absolute milking machine.

I still have some faith in Rockstar. I don't expect any single player DLC for GTA 6, but I do expect the single player to be pretty damn good. They know what they're doing with this kind of content.

do you believe they're going to backpedal on all of the already announced singleplayer characters and content?

Based on how GTA V went I think it’s fair to say that the team working on monetization is far bigger than the team making the single player content lol
