    Is there ever enough money for companies? The game will sell well and most definitely turn a profit if they released it as just the base game with online option but they still manage to potentially milk every penny available before the game has even released. I know it’s rockstar and they are held to a different standard than other companies for some reason.

    • They make good games, no doubt there. Red dead 2 and gta 5 had an amazing open world.
    • They release horrible content for their games online content because it’s a money printer, even though it makes the game way less enjoyable (imo). I usually never play online for this reason, I remember I loaded up gta 5 online and was laser gunned by a guy on a flying bike. I respawned and shot him with a revolver and he spent the remainder of the game hunting me down, which was pretty funny, but wtf kind of content is that?! Fricking Flying bikes with fricking laser beams.
    • They rerelease the same game and repeat the process ad infinitum.

    You know if they make it so that the game is like 45USD alone and the online is like 15 or 25 that wouldn’t be a bad idea. But they did sell RDR2 as a package to start so I doubt that’s what’s going to happen.
