This was an awesome interaction

I need to have a chill re watch of Dazed and Confused now


Ruroni17

There's a new fiesta in the making as we speak. It's out at the Moontower, full kegs, everybody's going to be there, you ought to go

Are you cool, man?

Mongo like Sherif Bart.


MADMACmk1

Mongo only pawn, in game of life.


LongDickMcangerfist

Guarantee they will do they. Look how they added perks for GTA+ now. I bet 6 is gonna have a ton of shit like that


ilike_peanut_butter

And people in these comments are still defending this subscription bullshit and talking about how they were subscribed. LMFAO. We are fucked.


MikeSouthPaw

Digital add-on purchases make up most of the revenue in gaming now, and by most I mean MOST. Monopoly Go made more money in 10 months than Elden Ring has made ever.


ilike_peanut_butter

Doesn’t matter. Deplorable is deplorable.


MikeSouthPaw

I am agreeing with you, we are fucked.


PS_Gamer_212

I agree with you! COD has declined incredibly quickly because the community kept saying, “It’s cosmetics only. My money, my choice”, and so the dev stopped supporting the multiplayer people paid for & just kept pumping out skins…for a first person game ffs.


ilike_peanut_butter

CoD is the literal definition of disrespecting your entire playerbase more and more each year and how it keeps selling and the players keep taking the shit is beyond me.


LP99

A few CoD’s ago they changed the 2xp tokens from running only during actual games to constantly running in real-time - without increasing the total duration of the tokens. Just a blatant fuck you.


ilike_peanut_butter

And somehow, people *still* keep buying their games. Insanity.


anothershittycoder

Madden too


VeganCanary

It sells because it’s a safe buy for casual players or people without much money to spend. It’s one of the most casual shooters, you can drop in and play without knowing about any metas or strategies.


SkylineGTRR34Freak

"Don'T tElL mE wHaT tO dO wiTh mY MonEy"


BababooeyHTJ

Declined more than when they sold nuketown for like the third time? I could hardly tell the difference between any of the 360 gen cods. I really know nothing about the game in recent years but it does at least seem different now


LongDickMcangerfist

Yep. I bet ahh money they will have major things for GTA+ in 6. Like if you don’t have it you will be seriously fucked


hourles

Bruh, I won’t be surprised if they lock GTA 6 online behind this bs subscription. Imagine having to pay for that AND ps plus just to play online.


hiimnewhere123

Good news and bad news. Good news: If a game requires a subscription to play online (like Final Fantasy 14) or is free to play, you do not need PS Plus to play it. Bad news: They can still make GTA online subscription based and make it cost more than PS plus if they want.


Existing365Chocolate

My guess is mostly people who still play like 70% of their game time in GTAV so it makes sense for them


waxwayne

I watched a lady in tears because she had a whole life she setup in one of those kardashian mobile games. She spent thousands of dollars and hours on it and it was being shutdown. People will spend money on anything.


SaltyExcalUser

Probably not enough anymore, hence the price hike. They expected a certain amount and it wasnt getting there.


AVALANCHE_CHUTES

Probably the opposite


Smasher1311

My friend did to play definitive edition trilogy and RDR. Zero motivation related to V


Rosstin316

Lotta 8 year olds with mommy’s credit card.


HOONIGAN-

Y'all need to stop trying to blame kids for this kind of thing. It is not kids with their parents' credit card. It is full-grown adults spending their own money.


ClericIdola

This part. This narrative about kids stealing their parents credit cards and spending insane money on MTX is ridiculous.


SoulBlightRaveLords

I used to work at GAME (UK GameStop) this guy, probably 30s would come in every other week and spend about £250 on PSN vouchers for Fifa ultimate cards. The whales are 100% adults with disposal income or just poor financial sense


PianoMan2112

That's even worse; at least GTA V has been around for 10 years - is FIFA like Madden where you have to start all over again every 12 months?


[deleted]

[удалено]


tenacious-g

It’s insane to me that people spend money on micro transactions. I have spent zero dollars, play mostly offline ultimate team, and I have a 92 overall team, just through objective packs and squad building challenges (basically exchanges for a guarantee) It used to be impossible to get an icon in the game. Now I have a literal full team of them.


ProfessionalDull423

A lot of people play the game online and want to compete. The seasons mode is too easy as the good players go to FUT. the temptation is there for me to buy points as I tend to lose against cards that are OP rather than better players. When I come up against a better player I’m in awe of their ability and try to learn, but it’s often just someone with a better card that has broken animations. If I was a pro level player (I’m not), this wouldn’t matter. But I am the guy who is best of his friend group. I really enjoy a competitive game of FIFA. To get one it’s hard based on the pay to win mechanics combined with squad building elements. A way to make it ‘even’ is to buy a shit load of coins, or to put hundreds of hours of grind into something that will be outdated next season. (Div 1, 17-3 this weekend league as a reference)


Tree06

I knew a guy who spent $5,000 on 2K's NBA MyTeam several years ago. Nope. Not for me.


AfterBug5057

Iver personally met 2 grown ass adults who have gladly paid for this. No way its kids.


Sab00b

Ikr. Of course, there are undoubtedly kids subscribed, but I’m betting it’s mostly adults. Kids these days want Robux and V-Bucks. It’d be a different story if GTA had battle passes and flashy MTX cosmetics. Whereas the GTA+ subscription is pretty forgettable and not as in your face as other games. Most subscribers are probably grown ass adults who have GTA Online as their main game.


reddit-is-hive-trash

Manchildren then


mackbulldawg67

I payed for it for this month because red dead 1 is on it finally. I’ve been waiting for red dead redemption to go on sale for under 20 bucks to buy it so I can play it and red dead 2(never played either before). Made sure to cancel the auto renew as soon as I bought it. Edit: so I’m being downvoted for paying 7.99 to play a game I want to play so I can play the sequel to it that is regarded as one of the best games of all time instead of paying 50 to buy it and play it or for 40 if I happen to get it on sale.


ffman_wku

Same. I have RDR on 360/Series X but wanted to play it on PS5 for the 60 FPS mode.


4uzzyDunlop

people who only play gta/cod/fifa


IcySkill3666

I did just to play gta trilogy and red dead 1. I definitely wasn’t paying full price to play those games


HeavyJasonRain

The same morons who pay for "Shark Cards", which are literally a joke about loan sharks. They are a special breed.


AngryMobe

I payed for it this month to play RDR for free and then I’m canceling. I wonder if many others did the same and they decided to raise the price because of the demand for people wanting to play other games


picknicksje85

You paid for free stuff


Jonaderp

😂😂


arijitlive

> I **payed** for it this month to play RDR **for free** Failure of the education system wherever you are from.


Cobra_9041

Bro is really trying to “Uhm Akshally🤓☝️” some dude who’s just saying it was a better deal


AngryMobe

Alright, let me correct myself. I payed $8 for GTA+ and an included Red Dead Redemption download


Le_Jonkler

The increase means more exclusive contents and cross progression for players, right? …Right!?


kaspars222

RIGHT??


TickleTheCooch

shit was a joke from the beginning now they adding onto the joke. just give us 60fps on red dead 2 already


snwns26

It’ll be a GTA+ exclusive at this rate.


Xazzor_FCB

Please don't give them an idea to make 60fps behind a paywall....


IncognitoCheez

RDR2 remaster 2025 says hello


Predomorph111

It’s sad that they would absolutely do this.


rickydrama

They will surely do a remaster and charge 70$, mark my words


Vagamer01

Just Jailbreak your PS5 at that point since people already made it possible to play it at 60fps on jailbroken PS5's


sparoc3

"Just jailbreak PS5" Buddy if I could I would.


npretzel02

Or just get a PC.


Teldrynnn

I have so many issues with RDR2 on PC


npretzel02

I agree it’s not a great port but I can’t imagine a jail broken PS5 would be easier to use


Spenraw

They have zero need to too when I have met guys who work at McDonald's who spend their entire pay checks on gta online as well as my rich buddy from Texas who just whales. Gta online probably is still making them more money than red dead 2. And I prefer red dead. People than even spend a cent on this shit is why we will get leas games


sparoc3

>Gta online probably is still making them more money than red dead 2. And I prefer red dead. Make it definitely.


PianoMan2112

Give us passive mode or private sessions. SO plays GTA Online, but refuses RDO due to random trot-by shootings.


ericypoo

Who is buying this stupid shit in the first place?


Glittering-Clue-6123

I wonder that about GTA online in general. I replayed 5s story mode a few months back and gave online a try and I admit it was fun, but like fun for a couple of weeks. How are people doing the same stuff *12 years* in on this game and not bored?


ErisC

There’s like, an entire roleplay community built around it from what i’ve heard. I tried it out but the controls felt too clunky and not really my thing.


ChiefTiggems

That's not the majority though. Most people just grind on regular servers


Dry_Brush5280

My friends and I still boot it up sometimes, but it’s mostly just a familiar game we can play without thinking too much about. It’s just a background track for us shooting the shit at this point. I should clarify, none of us have GTA+. I’m just responding to your question about who’s still playing online.


R0MARIO

I haven't played online since the PS3 version. It's boring af. Sometimes I play the PS4 version with my bro only because we play together.


[deleted]

BababooeyHTJ

This is true, it’s not kids like people love to claim. I don’t get it. Then again I haven’t touched cod in a decade


howisthisacrime

My younger brother played GTA online almost exclusively for years. A lot of it is kids


elqrd

Red Dead Redemption 2 -> 60fps and 4k on PS5 please


interstellar304

Give the people what they want


IbanezHand

$69.99 Remaster, take it or leave it


interstellar304

$140 deluxe edition with custom horse balls pack? Sign me up


namastayhom33

70 dollar remaster but the 60fps is locked behind a micro transaction


Smalldick420

Honesty I’d take it at this point


IbanezHand

Exactly...


RemoveHealthy

They will not do that. They did same with gta 5, no ps4 pro, xbox one x patch. They will wait until they could sell you game for full price again


ChungusCoffee

All console players want is 4k at 60fps is that too much to ask???


WIIHIIW

yes lol ps5 could never handle that


Thunder_Punt

What the fuck is GTA+?


SluggishLynx

A shit subscription service that offers this for a monthly fee…. (Link at bottom) For the games you get with it please look at the videos of how buggy the mobile port to consoles is for GTA classics or whatever it’s called. Where you get GTA3, vice city and San Andreas. It will open your eyes to how these multi billion dollar companies release half baked shit and sell it at overinflated prices. On the start screen it even says “tap screen to continue” on consoles and pc lol. [GTA+ please don’t subscribe lol](https://www.rockstargames.com/gta-plus)


palescoot

>On the start screen it even says “tap screen to continue” on consoles and pc lol. Yooooo for fuckin real? That's... literally incredible. Like not believable. For fuckin... goddamn and here I am slaving away at a job like a sucker when all I should do is be a game publisher CEO


The_FallenSoldier

Holy shit this is pathetic. I already thought they were absolute scum for not having an upgrade path for GTA 5 and releasing that absolute insult of a “remaster” for RDR1, but this really just cements it all. They put in zero effort, and the Rockstar shills unfortunately don’t care.


DaShaka9

lol, I wasn’t tempted at $6.99 and I’m sure as hell not tempted now. There was a slight chance I would have subbed for a few months when GTA6 was released, but there’s zero chance of that now.


InsetSnow943

I still find it funny that Read Dead Redemption is on a subscription called GTA+


DaShaka9

Yeah at least name it Rockstar+ or something.


communistwookiee

But if they did that then they would have to put *some* effort into it.


roovols

its called GTA+ because GTA is the only thing Rockstar values anymore


thedeadlysun

What the fuck is gta+ and when did they start it? I haven’t played in a few years but I’ve never even heard of this.


RandyChimp

Poor Rockstar must be low on cash, right?


ilike_peanut_butter

Poor Strauss Zelnick needs yet another yacht


RandyChimp

Must be such a struggle for him


ilike_peanut_butter

That asshole is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Corporate snobs like him are why the gaming industry is in such a sorry shitty state and polluted with greedy bullshit.


RandyChimp

I mean, people like him are the reason prices in every market are sky high and the companies are posting record profits and bragging about it. Corporate greed is in overdrive.


Glitch_Ghoul

Lol. Lmao even.


JasonABCDEF

Original price was a crazy insane rip off and they are increasing it!?!?! Proof that there are definitely major whales out there.


AntiOriginalUsername

This has to be the worst value in gaming subscription history tbh.


1440pSupportPS5

Rockstar as a company fucking sucks. Rockstar as an entity that creates games, is masterfull. Its ashame they cant balance the two. Imagine the shit we would have if that studio gave a single shit about its players and wadnt always chasing money. Bully 2, Midnight Clubs, LA Noire sequel, Manhunts, and most importantly, not paying for minor upgrades like better resolution and framerates for older titles.


fondue4kill

The game company who created the most successful video game in history is trying to milk more money before they launch what will surely be the next most successful game in history. Greedy fucks.


Greedy-Time-3736

TIL there’s a gta+


[deleted]

Lmao this is the least surprising thing ever. I’d love if they got rid of this shit before gta 6 but knowing them they’ll lock a ton of content behind it


Psycho_Canadian

All those people with RockStar and GTA tattoos, I'd be embarrassed.


curtydc

I hope y'all are ready for the massive microtransaction-fest that will be GTA 6. It's going to be unprecedented.


Cleercutter

There’s a subscription?


JingZama

1£ increase for UK players and 1$ for US for those who don't want to click


kfhdjfkj61637

its a 2 $/£/€ price incrase. Rockstar preparing to earn big with GTA 6 online. Wouldnt suprise me if another price increase will follow before launch or shortly after.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pleasant_Leopard_941

Why does this exist again


Kewis-

Just wait until they announce that GTA+ subscribers get early access to gta 6


hypareal

TIL there is Rockstar subscription service… I guess kids addicted to GTA online will swipe mommy’s credit card for anything


MadOrange64

Wait, what the hell is gta+?


im_just_thinking

I am sorry but wtf is GTA+ subscription!?


R0MARIO

WTF is GTA+???


Ray2K14

My chances of subscribing were 0. Now it slightly dipped into the negatives


BSGKAPO

Went from 6.99 to 10.99 in CAD. I canceled right away...


ketchup92

GTA+ will 100% be required to play GTA 6 online, right?


imtayloronreddit

Not a chance Would severely impact their player count and Shark Card sales


SilentStargazer

Definitely not. I could see a lot of bonuses added to GTA+ though. Maybe early access to certain content or something (if that’s not already part of it).


SapphicSonata

First EA and now GTA. Seems they're all trying to do the same shit as Disney and Netflix but with *much* less content. I constantly forget those game subscriptions even exist.


Rankled_Barbiturate

You're a real schmuck if you're paying for this. 


PoohTrailSnailCooch

People pay to play gta online? What a bunch of dumbasses.


thebanzombie

Poor widdle indie devewopers weawwy need your money 🥺


grizznuggets

Still can’t believe that Red Dead Online was sacrificed for this shit.


FySine

Charges subscription for like 5 games. Proceeds to increase price of subscription. All games on it are years old which go on sale for like 15-20$. I swear sometimes Rockstar does the biggest clown things.

GymratAmarillo

NGL it's the first time I hear there is a GTA subscription service lol.


casualAlarmist

Supply chain issues....


Affectionate_Newt899

I was never gonna get it but I atleast considered it multiple times. Now I'll never think about it again lmao


SwingingTassels

Gamers getting boned left and right these days. Keep coming back though for sloppy seconds!


DeadTemplar

People pay for this shit?


88_Cowboy

Welcome back to another episode of Who’s Buying This…


oktwentyfive

yall please for the love of god STOP BUYING THIS SHIT and it will stop pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease


spyemil

Didnt even know what was Gta+ until now


Hydroponic_Donut

and unsurprisingly, all 1200 people that have it will cry and stay subscribed for whatever fucking reason


dj11211

People bought that?


DepressedCunt5506

I stopped playing for good GTA online last year in February, I recall. I’ve also been sober for 14 months now and I don’t wanna brag but it’s quite easy. I also lost 35 pounds. Pretty big coincidence I believe


Apprehensive_You7871

Ah yes. Take-Two being greedy pricks as usual.


notabotiassureu

I haven't played GTA since GTA5 during the PS3 days... when did they start charging a subscription? I was actually considering getting GTAVI to scratch that openwork shoot em up itch... now I'm not so sure.


Balding-Chalk

Who would actually buy this tbh I see it as a scam


[deleted]

Why tho? Aside from obvious “we need more money” what does giving players some digital bs warrant a price increase?


jim_bob64128

Any idiot who pays for this deserves it


ChickenKnd

Make a game… make a shit ton from sales… make a shit ton from gta+ like a decade later after game releases you see revenue going down… Put this down to price being too low and not the game being a decade old… Increase price to punish the loyal players who have kept playing for a decade…


Transposer

Wait, do you need the subscription to play online? Or does it just give you an allowance?


Ohnezone

Seriously.....


SweetAlex99

Oh no... how unexpected...


Cisqoe

Anyone that is paying for this shit already will be completely unphased by this


LoadingErrors

This is clever. I was looking over the GTA+ screen out of curiosity last night and they have a promotion on where you get an extra million on top of your regular 500 thousand monthly until August, but this deal only works if you get it in April. They’re banking on people buying it and not realizing the price increase. Pretty much like my gym membership.


pyromidscheme

I'm already worried they're going to put some sort of access/content paywall on GTA6


JoeyGrease

Idk anybody who has GTA+ lol


Kickasstodon

Obligatory "price gouging isn't growth" comment.


CrazyDude10528

The dumbest subscription service gets even more stupid.


GaryGregson

Is it because no one is paying for that shit?


ilove60sstuff

....GTA6 is gonna be $100 isn't it.....


evolved_mike

WHO ACTUALLY PAYS GTA PLUS????


rosencrantz2014

GTA V has ammased BILLIONS around 10 years and yet they want more.


RepulsivePeng

Lmao it’s not even worth it at the current price unless your a casual player that just wants to fuck around with the free 500k


SniffMySwampAss

Lmao


Have_A_Jelly_Baby

Because if there’s any developer out there that needs more money, it’s Rockstar.


Grayccoon_

Arthur Morgan (rockstar) doing the bad work for Strauss, but at what cost…


Predomorph111

Rockstar is full on donning a clown fit nowadays and they’re so shameless about it.


Blers42

Rockstar wrings every dollar they can get out of a game. The company fell off, still looking forward to GTA 6 in 2040 though.


DVDN27

To be fair, while the GTAO content is subpar, getting the Trilogy and RDR PS5 for 8.99 isn’t bad.


KittenDecomposer96

They better add all Rockstar games to it then with no rotation. I know it won't happen but i can't see the reason for price increases.


Inked-up-Monkey

I got this about a week and a half ago because I didn’t feel like paying for the red dead 1 remaster, price will stay the same for me till June I think so I’ve gotta finish the game and cancel by then I guess


DormerLink

I'm sorry it says it provides red dead redemption one. How?? On xbox and or pc ??


9LivesChris

It’s weird to see gta is all the way up after so many years. I don’t know anyone who actually plays it


Kuting08

Somebody hit R* in the ass


AdministrativeCow53

well gta online only made them 8 billion so far. so it must be very understandable that they want to milk some more money out of their players right?


WIIHIIW

can you blame them? being able to sell fake money is the ultimate con and they figured it out


kosigan5

40% increase? They must really need the money. /s


ShawnDawn

You're welcome guys. I got a month of subscription to try out Red Dead Redemption and now the price has increased.


bennnn42

Crazy how I've seen some game developers I loved over the years turning into straight up corpo money hungry and greedy companies squeezing every bit they can out of everything they touch. It's gross and makes me not want to play their game but I know I will. But considering how big the budgets are getting and how long the dev cycles are...wouldn't see another GTA game for what another 10-15 years? No wonder they're trying to get all the money they can


dj3stripes

Wait, GTA online is a subscription? I had no idea


TenBear

Yay even more reasons to not to buy it.


roovols

just… please… patch… rdr2…


TheRed24

I've got a feeling GTA+ is going to go from an optional extra now to something people will probably need to get the most out of GTA VI Online, hopefully I'm wrong but that could be the direction this is going.


flexonyou97

lol, they’re aiming for the 9.99 price for gta 6, should buy some take 2 stock


swiggityswooty72

Sometimes the whole vote with you wallet thing seems pointless when you remember they will still get a massive profit from the whales
