Introducing GTA+ for GTA Online (PS5/Xbox Series X/S Exclusive)

Yeah I'd bet like 90% of the people responding here probably already dont have any investment in GTAO.
Look. I'm not against such a service. I normally prefer such subscription services in games cause they always give you more than enough to make the small fee worth it over simple Microtransaction currencies or objects. Like the Fallout 76 service that I well enjoyed while playing it or others. Like Battle Passes also fall into this category for me (even tho they aren't a classic subscription)
So, in general I'm not against it, even if it's an older game, cause that also means they are still somewhat invested into the new version and the upcoming month, which is good to know and wasn't clear at all to the community.
But..... I really think what they offer us here is simply not enough. 500k are laughable, that's nothing, even for new players and the rest also sounds super confusing and I just don't see real benefits here.
I wish we would get free businesses like in some of the older bundle versions, that would be helpful and I would love that as someone who freshly jumped into GTA online with this release, not getting some liveries and some clothes, that is a weird choice.
But since I play it daily currently for several hours even, I will definitely try it out, for that the price is low enough and I will probably not regret it.

The warning signs were there several years ago;
Zelnick: “We're probably undermonetising our users”
Take-Two believes there is still more money to be made from its players through microtransactions, claiming it has purp…www.gamesindustry.biz
He said a lot of things in past few years
Well expect for right now where the current gen version is free on PS5.
We're already half way down the slope. It started with shark cards.
We will never get a good single payer GTA again.
Whatever form the next game takes it will be PACKED with MTX/shark card incentives from day 1. Guarantee.
Its that 2k executive who was annoyed people were playing GTA online "for free".
No mate, we paid $60 and your online game is peer-to-peer. It's not costing you a dime.

Call me crazy but i'm gonna say this.. they're gonna add this to GTA 6 online in the future (multiplayer won't be free).
Expect a nerf to payouts from heists and other activities when this is released. 500,000 a month is pennies compared to some of the stuff you can do in-game already apparently.
you would only be crazy if you said they aren't gonna add this to GTA 6
Oh come on this is ignoring literally all the free content they have added to the game since 2013. GTAO is no different than any F2P MMO game.
In years gone by this would have been a parody of subscriptions. I honestly can't see modern day Rockstar being able to write a story skewering modern culture.
Subscriptions for everything sounds FUN! lmao!
I wonder who the people are going to blame for bring them into video games

I have a strong feeling given the timing and the price that this was not designed for consumers as much as for the gaming services like GamePass and PS+/Now/Spartacus to have it as a built in perk. Take 2 gets a monthly piece of that sweet services money without having to do much.
Don't a few live games have these kinda of services?
I hate GTA but am having a real hard time working up any outrage for this.

It is so funny that it's only on consoles because they know damn well that console players will sign up for anything.
I mean people keep buying this game over and over and over again. They keep spending like crazy, so I can't blame Rockstar one bit.
Yep. They've had this in Fallout 76 for 2 years now.
I don't see what the big deal is. These types of subscriptions are for the people already spending money, who want more bang for their buck.
Honestly, surprised they didn't do it earlier. Fortnite has had this for a while now.
Can't wait to see CoD, Apex, Siege, and many others to start adopting it.

I think it's more they know the majority of PC players play on RP servers and the console market is where the majority of where they make their money and where most the players are.
I don't see an issue with this at all they put out a ton of content for their online service and don't require you to pay anything else. You can continue to play the game and not pay a penny. It's like getting upset at battle passes clearly there is a huge market for this stuff.
I was wondering when they were going to try and implement some sort of Battle Pass or something similar to other games and what they did with Red Dead Online with the Outlaw Passes.
But man.....they aren't even attempting to have it be obtained with in-game currency in some way. Just PAY UP with real dollars. Yikes.

People in this hobby seemingly love to get ripped off. I'm sure it will make ungodly amounts of money lol
Sounds terrible. I'm sure they will make millions from the casual players who will think it's great for some unknown reason.
Sony paid them like, a quarter of a billion for the next-gen deal. There's a decent chance this could be part of that.
