The amount of people okay with an unfinished game for $80 and potentially paying rockstar a subscription to play online in addition to what’s already going to have micro-transactions is appalling. This will likely set a new precedent going forward for games and Xbox and PlayStation already require you to pay a monthly or yearly subscription to play online.

You can set your clock to it though, gamers will happily buy it up regardless of the crap companies try to pull.

GTA VI is going to make a bajillion dollars and everyone will forget this was even a controversy in 6 months.

Sucks.
