Just for fun, to see what the opinion of the Lemmy crowd is.

    I don’t think I’m going to get GTA 6 at all. I have a grudge against Take2 since they had Gearbox update all the old Borderlands games right before Borderlands 4 came out to include an anticheat software and the EULA now states that any info the anticheat scrapes can be sold to their marketing partners. So they turned all of those games into spyware. Rockstar and Take2 both stated that the already over-monitized GTA Online is actually under-monitized, so I fully expect the GTA 6 online to be more of a fucking nightmare than EA’s Battlefront 2 on release. And I also hate how as soon as Rockstar saw how profitable GTAO was, they cancelled the single player DLC and shoehorned all that shit into GTAO.

    I’m tired, boss. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I spend money on a triple-A game again

      I didn’t know that, but always suspected it.

        Yeah, they never outright stated it, but this was all found in one of the big data leaks from Rockstar. The first was mostly finished and involved Trevor working with the CIA, doing a heist on the casino, and going on James Bond/Austin Powers like adventures. The second DLC was a zombie survival scenario (probably going to be like RDR’s Undead Nightmare) with Micheal and his family. And the final DLC basically just had concept art of Franklin being sucked up into a UFO.

        All the cars and the casino heist from Trevor’s DLC is in GTAO. The cars modified with sheet metal and spikes from Michael’s DLC got repurposed into a Mad Max type of update for GTAO.
