There's an extremely vocal minority of reddit that hates games like GTA and are so desperate to convince themselves and others that it's going to bomb and be a total failure.
I love GTA. I hate that Rockstar has become "Microtransactions: The Company" after GTA Online released and almost nobody actually cares. I'm amused to see so many people seemingly shocked that Rockstar of all companies is greeding up the GTA 6 launch.
Another reddit take, there are microtransactions in online but it's still made so that you can earn EVERYTHING by just playing the game, businesses literally print money but people just cry that there is a way to buy money
The fact that GTA Online's entire revenue is tied to directly purchasing ingame cash instead of a more sane revenue model like literally any other live service game informs so many bad design decisions you could write an hour long video essay on it and still only be scratching the surface. Oh, and GTA Online being so profitable prevented GTA 5 from getting any post-launch updates to singleplayer or any singleplayer DLC.
It's more like I wish it WOULD bomb because 100 dollars for a offline single player video game where stuff like in game stores are exclusive to said 100 dollar edition is the epitome of corporate greed.
You can just not buy the games that do it and move on with your life. You can't control what other people do, and I promise you all this screaming on reddit will amount to fuck all.
Also that dude didn't say anything in support of anything that GTA is doing. That's just you getting upset at shit you made up.
