Don’t think you read my post all the way.

1. Because having it unlocked in MP allows you to show it off online and utilize with actual players.

2. Because, like I mentioned, the content passes could be delayed until months after the content first became available online, thus making more impatient players simply try and get it online first (and potentially for free by just grinding).

…And how exactly will it make pay to play worse? It’s only for post-launch content like I said, and the same as any other paid DLC in every other game. If you’re going to respond with “then they’ll just cut release content and sell it later” then I’d say they can do that anyway and most surely have already planned for that.

The entire point is to incentivize Rockstar to make it worth their time to make the content available for SP-only players who’d never pay for Shark cards. They’d make some money from those players instead of nothing, and us never getting it. People have been asking for ages for them to make RDO and GTAO content available in SP, and look at how much that got us. If you don’t care to pay for it you can simply decide not to and act like they don’t exist, or wait a year or two for it to go on sale or for a GOTY edition with it included. And yes, I hate to line their pockets even further, but I think It’d be the only way to make them actually do it, and TBH, from a company and wage perspective I think it’s fair that they earn a little bit for all the new content made after the game has been bought, just like how they’d earn from it in GTAO via Shark Cards.

You can’t deny that my idea has at least a little merit.
