I just hope this, plus the existence of GTA+, isn’t a prelude to online play being a fully subscription based model.

The overwhelming prevalence of subscription models, their success with shark cards, and consistent revenue stream for GTA+, would incentivize Rockstar to do something like that, even though I do not think the community would support it—not in the numbers we are used to.

The ultimate question is—what makes the most money? And fewer—but PAYING—players could potentially drive that. I hope not.
