GTA Online added a highly requested feature from the community. The only catch? You have to be a subscriber to use it, which infuriates fans.
Rockstar Games is getting a part of the community GTA Online on the back. And it’s fair to say that the American company asked for it. On June 25, it launched the kickoff of “Bottom Dollar Bounties,” an update that adds even more content to the online game. So far, so good. Except that the developers have decided to charge for a highly requested feature.
Thus, “Bottom Dollar Bonuses” offers unprecedented benefits to those who have subscribed to a GTA+ subscription (€7.99 per month). Among them, there is access to The Vinewood Club application, which allows you to “ collect your business earnings, purchase ammunition at no extra cost, or request, purchase or collect a vehicle ” Those concerned will therefore have a much easier life in GTA Onlineif only to get rich with less effort (no need to go around your business anymore).
Why GTA Online’s Latest Update Has Fans Talking
On Reddit, Rockstar Games is getting a justified outcry. Putting a feature that brings gaming comfort behind a subscription is clearly not the idea of the century. Especially since GTA+ is only available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. In fact, PC players don’t even have access to it – even if they could pay.
« Imagine locking one of the most requested features behind a paywall…..in a 10 year old game “, summarizes xplosiv84. For his part, IdkRedditsz indicates: ” I’m a GTA+ subscriber and I think it’s so stupid that they don’t offer this to everyone. This isn’t just a feature, it’s a way to improve the game’s particularly painful management system.. »
Some have come to fear the worst for the multiplayer mode of GTA 6with Rockstar Games relying on its immense greed to make as much money as possible. GTA Online is still as popular as ever. So much so that the most ardent fans are ready to forgive the studio for anything. Like Cwchenery: ” Imagine playing a game for 11 years with free updates. You get more than your money’s worth.. » He forgets that longevity is not a good argument in this case, since we are not talking about a one-off purchase.
« GTA 6 is going to be a mess with GTA+ ” says LungHeadZ. Like many, he thinks that Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive, the parent company, could take advantage of the hype surrounding the saga to go too far in monetization. Which would certainly not prevent GTA 6 to sell like hotcakes. The two giants can get away with pretty much anything, and that’s a real problem.
