m00n_Chaser Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 At all of you hating on OP, have you ever thought how R* are going to keep the servers running indefinitely with just 60$ per game? Smith John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildTurkeyMcGee Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) I also paid for the CE and that doesnt change the fact that I will happily spend 15-30 a month on either sub fee or micro transactions. If paying for the CE put you in a bad financial position you probably shouldnt have got the CE? Honestly though, you are the people who will hold the game back. Your penny pinching and cheap attitudes will limit the amount of content that the rest of us receive. You guys talk about 60-150 being all that you should spend for a title like this, without even considering what your saying. At $60 this game roughly works out to less then 50 cents an hour in cost/gameplay time. That's without even touching online. So when people say, "Its not that I don't have the money, I just don't waste it" or "I should be able to just pay the $60 forever", all it sounds like is the whining of a cheap entitled person.

caligula87 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) Oh, and just because I try to avoid fees doesn't mean I have financial problems, I have money, and I have money because I usually don't spend it on tons of sh*t that I don't need. If I really have a passion for something, I am willing to spend much more than I really need to satisfy that passion, but it's always smart to avoid paying more when you don't need to. FINALLY! Someone with a brain. OP, try to read and understand... Edited September 8, 2013 by caligula87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zainzombie Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 At all of you hating on OP, have you ever thought how R* are going to keep the servers running indefinitely with just 60$ per game? Its not our job to plan how Rockstar makes it possible. Its their job and Im sure they have thought about it even before they started the development of GTA V. No company will ever start developing a project before analysing how profitable it will be. Rockstar are not a bunch of idiots, they know what they are doing. Trust me, no company will ever give you something if its not profitable to them, even if they give you something for free it is for a reason. Its a business after all, and i'm sure they care about staying in a stabled financial condition more than you ever will. But to answer your question that how they will support it, the millions and millions of sales of that $60 product will. The DLC will support it... sales of GTA V On pc and probably even GTAV or GTAO on next gen will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Mantis Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Let's put it this way, R* doesn’t even seem to need money from GTA: O. They've been developing it for probably a year and they've no doubt done the math on the cost. If they found that GTA: O was a money sink, they would have scrapped it. Stop forcing a cost on others because you have extra money. ALSO WHO DESIGNED THIS FORUM, IT'S SO F*CKING LAGGEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stobe187 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Look what happened with Star Wars: The Old Republic for being subscription based and look what's going to happen to The Elder Scrolls Online? It won't work for GTAO, R* was clever on releasing it for free. Yes, they are releasing it for free. But at some point the maintenance money has to come from somewhere. Be it DLC packs, in-game purchases of items (purely cosmetic, no gameplay edge) or a monthy subscription. I personally don't think that they'll go the monthly fee route, but some means of getting the thing to pay for its own upkeep has to be implemented.

modshateme Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I wouldn't pay a penny for it... why? because it would be bullsh*t already paying $60 for the game which was to include online already only to have to pay again to play online. I'm sure R* will have downloadable content you can buy from the psn store like unique cars, clothes, dogs, guns, or sh*t for your apt. kinda like Playstation Home, DC UNIVERSE ONLINE, ect..

Skyline91 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 At all of you hating on OP, have you ever thought how R* are going to keep the servers running indefinitely with just 60$ per game? Have you ever thought about the fact that R* will have hundred of millions dollars profit with V? And they can still sell some stuff ingame like clothing or something for real money after a while. A monthly fee however is definately a no-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stobe187 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I did, but do you honestly think that sales from in-game artifacts from just one single game can fund all of that? If the intention of R* is to expand and keep the GTAO thing alive for years to come, they'll have to get some cash out of it too. It seems that there are a lot of entitled young bitches on this forum cryin over everything that has to do with the realities of actual real life.

I love how everyone who doesn't agree with someone else on this forum, calls the other a whiny little kid or something like that. I only see stuff like that on this forum. Anyway, R* got it all figured out. GTA:O will definately be profitable one way or the other, otherwise they wouldn't put it in the game. I'm just saying there are a lot of other ways to make money to support the servers without having monthly fees for everyone. And people who are saying they SHOULD do it are dumb as hell. Why would you even want to pay extra even when you don't have to? Edited September 8, 2013 by Skyline91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe36 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 No... Only way to justify paying is making it 1000 players per server and a bunch more features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
