They’re part of the problem. I’m sure they will sell plenty of copies, but they will make their money elsewhere.

GTA:O was why GTAV never got any expansion pack, and GTAVI took so long. GTA:O was all about the whales. It was miserable to play, because they focused on creating a grind which you could pay yourself out of, and it worked. They made ungodly amounts of money. That same thing will happen to GTAVI. Hopefully we get a good story out of the base game, but it is already being reported that things like “getting a haircut” are being locked behind the $100 SKU, and it’s only going to get worse from there.

They will suck every dime they can out of whales while ignoring everybody else.
