Why did Rockstar fix the gate glitch?

I've never done the gate glitch as I was off GTA V for a while and didn't really know about it. But why did they fix it? It seemed harmless and fun to do. It was kinda like the swingset glitch in GTA IV. Which brings up my point, why did they never fix the swingset glitch (and the thousands of other glitches in IV, some that were harmful and gave players an advantage) but fixed this harmless gate glitch in GTA V which was hurting no one. To top it off, there are a million other glitches in V that they should focus on so why did the zone in on the gate glitch?

They never fixed the swingset glitch either.

Going by logic, I'd say to restrict people from getting impossible top speeds and jump distances in their stats and on Social Club. It's also apparently not entirely patched.

It`s because they`re going to release the Swing Set Glitch DLC pack soon.

Its going to be an exclusive feature to the PS4/XB1/PC version of GTA V.

 

You know console limitations and all that...

Guys, it has nothing to do with console limitations. It was a glitch, so it got fixed. There were plenty of glitches that never got fixed until this patch (1.14), all Rockstar is doing is making it so the game has to be played the way it was meant to be played, bug-free, glitch-free, exploit-free, etc. They don't care if it's harmless or not, if it's broken, then they will surely fix it.

 

The reason the swingset glitch wasn't patched in IV was probably because GTA V had way more problems when it launched, therefore they only need to focus on V. Since IV came out there was only 4 patches, meaning not a lot was broken, plus it didn't have an Online mode (it has/had multiplayer, but not the same kind of Online as GTA Online). Now I'm not 100% on this because I don't work for Rockstar, but it seems the most logical.

This sorta makes sense but again, why worry about this harmless glitch when there are a billion other glitches that are more important?

Good question, Rockstar works in mysterious ways so who knows why they turned their attention to this instead of something else.

In all honesty, glad it's fixed. Glitches like this are just ridiculous and make the game look bad. They serve no other purpose.

I couldn't do this one no matter how hard I tried. A shame they patched it for those who enjoyed doing it. I'm sure it extended someone's playtime a bit.

Ouch.

I think rockstar is starting to bend to the same "Play the way the developer intended" bullsh*t that keeps popping up in the forums here but is also present in battlefield 3's heavily scripted crud.

 

The problem with developer intentions is that players want to have fun in any way they can. And I see no reason why any of us, the players, should give any f*cks about how they want us to play. But they will patch out fun glitches because f*ck player choice.

Am I the only one around here that has no idea what this is

It was a glitch that involved a gate catapulting you into the air, similar to the swingset glitch in IV.

 

Speaking of patches, what was the point in the Titan hatch patch?

The same reason for the North Yankton glitch getting patched...

Well, everyone wants a North Yankton DLC, and I think Rockstar know that.
