    Man we don’t even get dlc anymore in the past you would get an expansion pack and it would only be like 75 hours of additional content then it became dlc and that was still like the ballad of gay tony undead nightmare now its micro transactions and its a car that was part of the base game that they removed so you can pay for it again

        Im worried about gta 6 the main story is supposed to be much shorter than gta 5 and there apparently going to be combining the main story dlc with gta online

          It’s not the same Rockstar that was making GTA 1-4 anyways. That ship sailed a long time ago.

            Let’s be realistic though, modern Rockstar still made RDR2, which was full of heart. Not saying for sure that GTA6 won’t be a cash grab, but modern Rockstar still very much has it in them to make a great game

        Afaik they cancelled the expansions for GTA V because they fucked up the launch of GTA Online and needed to fix that instead.

          Pretty sure they saw the truckloads of cast piling in and realized they could just scrap the expacs and sprinkle its pieces into Online as paid content.
