GTA 5 ONLINE will be pay 2 win, buy cash with real money.... R* are you kidding me?

I'm beyond pissed. Is $1b in 3 days not enough? This was such an EA thing to pull, people need to know about this because maybe theyll pull out before october 1st:

Sounds like rumors not facts

[QUOTE=Hallu;1137824593]Sounds like rumors not facts[/QUOTE]
Someone attempted to access the store (Even though its disabled) and the game asks for this XML file:

[url]http://prod.cloud.rockstargames.com/titles/gta5/xbox360/store/en/commerceData.xml[/url]

Where this text was found:

"Cash is king in this town. Solve your money problems and help get what you want across Los Santos and Blaine County with the purchase of cash packs for Grand Theft Auto Online. All purchased cash is automatically deposited into your character’s bank account. Spend wisely, cash therapy is fleeting."

I sure hope not... Not because I'm cheap but bc it just takes the fun out of things. Why don't they just make it subscription based liked WoW then?

If they need money I'd be happier to pay for the online part for $8 once if that means I get everything free. This **** is so stupid


releasing a city for download or releasing an entire pack of weapons is different. But buying money just ****s everything up. Your cars and property depend on money so any ******* can go and pretty much reach the top of everything if they have the money

Greed Greed and Greed

I really hope there is a huge movement against this, they may be willing to cancel it before October 1st

This better not be true, srs


If so I feel betrayed, srs


Their gonna make me buy the game, then wait 2 weeks to find this shtt out? Cant return it now, better be rumors.

it's not pay to win...

aren't all the things you buy online cosmetic? I'm sure you can afford new weapons and stuff like that with just the money you earn via online missions.

If people are dumb enough to spend their real life money on stuff like a house, garage, and cars to roam around in then they should be entitled to. They won't be given any sort of advantage.

Sigh

It specifically says buy money. When you buy money you can essentially buy anything with real money, could you not put two and two together? It will give an advantage, the entire MP game revolves around money

Yes but why does it matter to you if you aren't interested in buying money? You're only allowed to own one house and garage I think. It won't affect your side at all

It affects the cars and weapons being used against me...

Don't buy into this too much. Until R* comes out and says it I won't believe it.

That's the issue, if you wait too long they won't have a chance to rethink this. There needs to be some type of backlash so they at least know they should never do this (if they havent already)

Poverty *******s gonna poverty. lol at all of you console peasants complaining about money. I happen to be PC master race with a console, because I can afford both.

"You can spend petty cash customizing your character, outfits, weapon of choice, or favorite vehicle"

They're implying it won't be that hard to get these things at all, and the big bucks are spent on buying a condo or a big garage. Even if they spend money early I'm sure they have to unlock the weapons via doing a few missions to keep things fair.

thats greed if so. I could see a sub if they constantly have to update and create new content and whatnot but if cash rules everything and you can buy cash its ****. you're suppost to work with a squad and rob and earn cash while going around doing crazy ****. If this is true it means some rich spoiled 10 year old is going to dump his parents money in the game and start out with the best of everything.

I'm PC master race also, but all my gta friends are console

Why couldn't they just make a GTA online pass for like $5-10 and leave it at that?

Max Payne 3 had a bunch of pay to win stuff. Looks like Rockstar is continuing the trend with GTA now.

lol, was waiting for something like this happen to rattle some cages.

I'm a PC master race and I wouldn't pay for chit in online either. It's not about the money, I can afford it, but when you make stuff pay to win it loses its fun. It's a load of sheit, I don't wna buy stuff to win, I wna win by own hand. Also our less fortunate poverty bros are guna be fked even though they paid full price for the game, now they'll have to deal with losing to 13 year olds decked out in the best gear paid for by their mommys credit card.

why are people saying they paid $120-$170 for the game?

Either they are in Australia or they bought a special edition version or some chit.
