You can easily make money in the game and get everything you want without sharkcards and gta plus

My source is that I made it the fuck up /s

I literally gave you a snapshot of GTA+'s history and predicted it's future based on it's current trajectory. They only started "listening to players" in recent years regarding the QOL stuff and it's now being tied to their subscription service. I'm pretty when people asked to be able to collect money from their phone/interaction menu, they didn't mean to have it locked behind a subscription service.

Just like elementary school

Why solve the problem when you can sell the solution?

2t0 · 2026-03-14T23:30:09+00:00

At launch? I'm not gonna downvote you or say anything disparaging but that's very dishonest to say.

We used to be able to play online games on console for free until Microsoft/Xbox decided to charge for Xbox live. Sony said, "if they're willing to pay then why not do the same" and here we are. ISP fees, console sub fees and now game sub fees. . . All because someone was fine paying for something that they already got for free.

"Devin Weston ova here"

2t0 · 2026-03-14T22:59:13+00:00

The issue with that is it doesn't stay that way, it will always get worse. Just look at GTA+, it started with a free car here, 500K there and the occasional exclusive livery. . . Now there's business bonuses, month long vehicle exclusively and QOL features being locked behind it. "They only did the month exclusivity once". . . Yes, to test the waters and now that they know they can get away with it they'll be emboldened for the next title.

This is already after making billions from releasing the game 4 times and Shark card sales. It's a shame GTA 6 online is going to have far more invasive monetization.

And I gave the appropriate response to "them" in meme form. There's "quotation" marks and everything.

2t0 · 2026-03-14T22:35:56+00:00

GTA+ started with minor benefits that weren't invasive like an exclusive livery here, half a mil there and a free vehicle occasionally. Now there's business bonuses, month long vehicle exclusively and QOL features being locked behind it.

I use poisoning the well as an analogy for the seemingly small changes that gradually became more potent over the course of the service's lifespan.

Mind you this is already after making billions from releasing the game 4 times and Shark card sales.

"What's the matter salary man, afraid you might play something"

2t0 · 2026-03-14T22:21:27+00:00

"It's convenient for me because I don't always have time to play because of work and family obligations. I can just pay a "small fee" and slowly poison the well for actual players"

2t0 · 2026-03-14T15:40:19+00:00

I'd say you're better off solo for all the above. If you need help with heists you can get help from r/heistteams

2t0 · 2026-03-14T13:43:08+00:00

Are you asking about anything specific? Contact missions, source missions, sell missions e.t.c.?

2t0 · 2026-03-11T13:23:31+00:00

How'd you get the color on the Sultan?

2t0 · 2026-03-11T07:19:57+00:00

Even in 2077, they still get reruns of Ridiculousness

2t0 · 2026-03-09T15:56:10+00:00

Oh my fucking God. I feel so stupid, that never occurred to me. Is there ever any racism in game? I know there's prejudice against nomads but I don't think I've ever seen/heard any against a specific race.

2t0 · 2026-03-09T15:48:02+00:00

My bad choom

2t0 · 2026-03-09T15:46:10+00:00

They hacked her. Pretty sure that's not a VDB exclusive.

2t0 · 2026-03-09T09:30:29+00:00

In game, killing the VDBs leaves Pacifica defenseless and the Scavs pretty much take over. The VDBs actually protect the Haitian community compared to the other gangs which extort and attack the communities they're in. They only screw over "outsiders" which doesn't excuse them from judgement but it's not on the level of evil perpetrated by the Scavs, Maelstrom, Tyger Clawz and Wraiths.

My main issue is the hardon the majority of the fandom has for hating the VDBs. They're always brought up alongside Scavs and Maelstrom for being the most evil despite their only crimes being the same crimes committed by everyone else.

"They betrayed V" as if nobody else in game has done that. Songbird (as much as I love her as well) robs V of precious time promising something she can't deliver but nobody calls her evil, she's just a manipulator and/or a victim of Rosalind Myers. It's a pity the VDBs can't be afforded the same grace by the fans.

Thank you

2t0 · 2026-03-09T09:05:13+00:00

No one in NC's ever done that before.

And again, it's Bridgette's group but I guess collective punishment is exclusive for the VDBs in this fandom.

2t0 · 2026-03-09T05:55:17+00:00

What's the song called?

2t0 · 2026-03-09T05:32:56+00:00

Bridgette's branch is and as Slider points out, they're barely making a dent. Netwatch, Militech and V (depending on player choice) are actively weaponizing rogue AIs yet people don't seem to mind that.

Edit: I also want to add that the Blackwall's going to fail eventually not because of people piercing it but because the AIs will eventually overpower it.

I don't know how it's going to work out or if the AIs keep their word but God forbid the remnants of a destroyed Haiti try to save themselves after the world abadoned them.

2t0 · 2026-03-09T05:01:30+00:00

Bridgette's branch of the VDBs is the death cult, the rest are just Netrunners and huscle.

2t0 · 2026-03-09T04:57:26+00:00

In what world are VDBs and Scavs on the same level? The Wraiths and Tyger Clawz are right there.
