GTA Online’s latest event is called Bottom Dollar Bounties and focuses on letting players live that Dog the Bounty Hunter life in Los Santos, but it also adds the new Vinewood Club app to in-game phones.
This app “lets you easily request vehicles, claim all outstanding business safe earnings, and replenish ammo on your in-game phone.” Collecting cash from your businesses in GTA Online has always been a bit of a pain, and being able to do it from your phone instead is obviously a massive improvement. The catch, of course, is that it’s only available to GTA+ subscribers paying $8 a month (thanks, GamesRadar+).
Thank you!
My favorite feature of GTA Online was when I’d get destroyed by someone with every weapon, only to respawn walking distance from them over and over and over. They’d kill me repeatedly before I even had a chance to do anything. The only way I could escape was to hope I found a car quick, or hope they got bored of spawn killing me.
This game is a fucking joke. Rockstar has been a shell of its former self for years.
I got hooked on shark cards for a while when I played GTA:O, I probably spend thousands of SEK on them for months, then one day I realized what a fucking shit game it is, and uninstalled it.
This was eight or so years ago now, and I have not played it since.
I don’t consider the money wasted though, I consider them part of my education, I learned from this, and can now see the signs before I spend money.

Yeah, I never consider it a waste if you got some personal enrichment from it as an outlet. My goal was to never spend any actual money on the online portion and eventually people just got way too overpowered. It was a glaring example of pay-to-play and how it can ruin a game. It shut out any chance of growth and fun.
Greed will do that to any company.
Yea but imagine how fun it would be to spawn camp some poor sob who has the audacity to sign into GTA online.
One time I was just trying to do my money laundering restocking in GTA:O (iirc it was money laundering, it was whatever business you got when the game went free on epic games) and a guy on the flying motorbike killed me for no reason and it wasted a ton of time, eventually I killed him back and he spawned in the desert in front of me so I spawn killed him until he apologized.
I’m not saying what I did was right, I did it in the heat of the moment. But man, that game is really good at making you mad at people.
tap to run intensifies
gated quest area intensifies
But the single player design yo!
Gta online was a scam long before this.
That’s rich, they still can’t or won’t meaningfully address script kiddies from ruining everyone’s fun in open play.
Last time I played GTA Online some fuck wiped everyones’ inventory of all their weapons. Teleported everyone to some spot in the ocean. Blew up everyone’s cars as soon as they buckled in.
Charging any amount of money for that trashy fucking game is outrageous.
Can’t, because of the way multiplayer works in GTA:O.
Rockstar doesn’t host their own GTA servers, any time you join an online game you’re either hosting the world yourself or joining a game that’s hosted by another player. If the game you’re playing is being hosted by a hacker then they can do whatever they want and your only recourse is to find another session.
lol last time i played one of them forced me into selling all of my property
I’m just glad we got the masterpiece that is Red Dead 2 before this company’s soul fully evaporated. I also really liked GTA4.
Rdr2 is still hands-down my favorite game. The online game sucked, but I still replay that campaign because it’s just mwah
Imagine how much will be locked behind dlc for GTA6
I would imagine there is serious talk about a monthly subscription for VI.
Probably in addition to buying the game for 80 or 90 bucks, with a “super deluxe” version above 100.
Yeah probably so much that you have to buy the game and the activation separately…
8 Dollar a month? i could get a blue tick on twitter for that!
Rockstar and their parent company slimy? First time I’ve heard of that /s.
Who plays that still, its been a scam for years.
Hundeds of thousands of people.
GTA 6 will be interesting
Once again I will play the single player only.
If there is a “single player only” 😬
If it was multiplayer only, there’d be no point in making it. All the stuff would already be going into GTA Online.
Red Dead Redemption 2 single player was amazing (and to date the only game that I would apply Ubisoft’s laughable AAAA label to), despite them knowing that online would be an absolute milking machine.
I still have some faith in Rockstar. I don’t expect any single player DLC for GTA 6, but I do expect the single player to be pretty damn good. They know what they’re doing with this kind of content.
do you believe they’re going to backpedal on all of the already announced singleplayer characters and content?
Based on how GTA V went I think it’s fair to say that the team working on monetization is far bigger than the team making the single player content lol
does not look like they have even added the nextgen update with raytracing etc. to pc yet, or this dumb gta+ thing
lol
