GTA 5's Online Mode Has Generated Half a Billion Dollars - Report

Hopefully GTA 6 will be release for all platforms the same day so they can break their $1 billion in 3 days record.

If it wasn't for my friends wanting to play GTAV:O every once in a while I would have barely touched it at all. Now to see them add lame adversarial modes instead of something more substantial like more heists or quality of life content like a gun safe is down right disheartening. I love your games R* i really do but what you have done with the online mode lately is pure rubbish in my eyes. But I guess when you are making half a billion from micro-transactions alone you don't have to change jack-squat.

havn't toughed the online mode once and have no intentions on doing so ever, thanks rockstar $

guess making lots o $$ wont change them from putting out broken games

I haven't given up on DLC, not as though making DLC would cost a lot. It would still make a sh*t load.

While Eddie could have said 500 million, he went for half a billion.

I really gave the online part of the game a try... but it was impossible for me to get even a tiny bit of the feeling i got from the single player game...
Very long loading screens, constant connection issues... the open world is an illusion... tons of instances... with annoying loading screens etc... and when you not joining 1 instance or the next you got the dead city in which you run around and kill each other or some other shit...
Also the heists... oh man... pretty cool missions with one of the worst matchmaking, co-op, networking i ever seen.

P.S. I bought the game early on because of the promise of an awesome online mode that is why i am on the "attack", but on the positive side i had a lot of fun with the single player game and loved it a lot!

Maybe they can spend some of that cash getting an actual anti cheating software to run in their game, rather than inserting 10 mb of junk code, destroying cpu performance since ******* june!!!

rockstar should release a new game already there taking too long making games

Not bad, increased money for Rockstar means more freedom.

Also poor article, since if Rockstar was all about the cash, they would not go so long between each GTA, even GTA IV sold incredible well. So the reason why there is still no single player DLC might be because they are actually making a product they can be proud off and not just shit like Ubisoft or most other developers.

SHAME!! SHAME!!

Depressing.

Here's a big middle finger to anyone who says microtransactions aren't the worst thing to ever happen to gaming. You think any of that money is going to be reinvested into meaningful content? Hell no. They're just going to make more lazy-ass car and clothing packs.

The new modes they add to GTAO are often times boring as hell I'd rather they add in new missions for us to do so we could make more money and add in new vehicles and weapons to spend it on. All the PvP stuff is boring. I also wanna see new heist come on Rockstar make it happen.

"Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer mode GTA Online is free..."

It is? I thought you had to buy a copy of the game to play GTAO.

And this is why SP is dying, because real gamers are a dying breed; nowadays gamers are morons, and companies just want money

Even more sad is that, a couple of years ago, Dan Houser, in an interview, said the #1 thing for them when making a game is the SP. Guess that's over....even Remedy, a notorious SP developer, said they are thinking about making MP in the their next game; even Bioware, another notorious SP developer, was making (it got cancelled, thank god) a MP only game.

I'm eagerly waiting a new crash

This is so gross.

WOW! If the numbers are even close, I can't blame them for not focusing more on SP DLC. They're obviously doing something else right as well, because I don't see too many people that play the game actually bitching about the micro-transactions.

This is like the people that choose the chocolate bar over the pure silver bar because they are too stupid to know any better.
