How much money do shark cards make per day?

[Halal Cyborg]

 

 

What a pathetic thread.

Really?

 

Care to qualify that statement?

 

Sure. It's clear you have a problem with Rockstar being a business, and secretly want to cry about it, which you do on plenty of other threads. You seem to be fixtated on whining about cash cards now.

 

This thread is nothing but a veiled "Let's talk shxt about R* and the ways they make money" thread. There are already plenty of annoying cash card threads up, go to one of those. We don't need you wasting more bandwith with this drivel.

I actually have other issues with the game and shark cards aren't a huge gripe of mine, I was more interested.

 

People like you get so defensive and I don't get why tbh

 

I'm a fourth property whiner and have 21m that isn't being spent as a result...get your defensiveness on point next time

So mircotransactions are the right thing to do opinion, It's not a free to play game, Look how Bethesda does DLC, That is the right way to add content.

 

 

I don't really care for Bethesda's games, nor do I play them, so w/e. I'm not here or there on the whole shark cards thing, so please don't make assumptions. But different companies have different ways of doing things and making money, and shark cards just happen to be Rockstar's way of doing this.

 

Last time I checked, Rockstar seemed to be doing fine with DLC's also, they may not be constant, or full of content sometimes, but at least they're free, and I'm grateful for that. Shark cards are the reason DLC's are free, and that this game isn't pay-to-win, you aren't being forced to buy them, people.

 

The game isn't pay to win ? Really so I assume then that the Homing Launcher is free, As so is the Hydra and Valkrie and Armoured Kuruma, No its not pay to win at all now is it, It's pretty obvious that it actually is, You wanna stand a chance in a freeroam session then you have to pay for it, The new insurance premiums alone prove this.

 

 

That's paying for in-game content.The updates are free, the content within the game isn't. Do you pay for any of that with real money? No.

According to this picture, they make some.

 

I can't believe so many people bought shark cards during the billionaire days

I can't believe entitled kids went out of their way to get in on the rampant cheating that was 'billionaire' days.

 

Should be referred to as the time of the 'entitled, instant gratification suffering, immature cheaters' days.

It's clear you're just so negative. And also wasting bandwidth.

 

OP was just asking and whatever his reaction is, whether he has problem with Rockstar, it's none of your business. You can go on and keep sucking on Rockstar.

 

Why you even bother to get in anyway?

Shark cards are the reason DLC's are free, and that this game isn't pay-to-win, you aren't being forced to buy them, people.

 

 

To be honest, I rather would pay for a good DLC which really brings some new gameplay rather than just content. I would NEVER pay for shark cards, ingame money is trivial.

I don't want free DLC's, I want the damn broken game to be fixed. Greater problems from the very beginning still present after almost 2 years. I think they focus way to much on the online part and real bug fixing comes way too short. No, instead they "fix" things that bave never harmed anybody.

 

It's just my opinion though.

[rlr149]

it's none of your business.

 

or yours, or mine.

 

should probably PM questions if you don't want just anyone jumping in

[Chloroform]

Days you clearly don't know what you're talking about, so please stop talking. I love the Stirling Gt and the T20, and praise them every chance I get. So clearly you're not stalking me that much. Its bad business etiquette to run a business this way. Some of us (the true fans of the series) don't want to see it ran into the ground, which seems like most of you don't care.

 

So yeah, sorry if I complain a little too much for you. Sorry i don't sit there and take it and ask for more. If no one stands up, then things turn to sh*t because of the people that allow it. But I don't expect people to understand because to them, this is just another game that they will be done with when sh*t goes south.

 

Like I said I can complain about some parts of the game while playing it. Some people don't understand not everyone agrees on EVERYTHING.

I'm happy they have made money. It's a great game. And when they make money, they can make more good games. WIN-WIN.

[Dottie]

If knoy R* could use that money to fix the sh*tty servers...

[Thalyn]

That's paying for in-game content.The updates are free, the content within the game isn't. Do you pay for any of that with real money? No.

 

Wow we have a champion.... Naive or just a hypocrite Rockstar fanboy (one of these stupid persons believing to be a Citizen of a company..... while this company doesn't car about their citizens, except and only, when these self-appointed citizens are satisfied customers with nothing, but when they have some problems, some critics towards the product and the company, this beloved company ignore them..... but the goats continue to preach their love like brainless fanatics).

 

Yes I bought this Game with this business model of providing DLC free Items, and promote the sale of shark cards (all additions of items were / are planned from the beginning, during the development phases).

The shark cards don't allow to create and provide free items.... It's a "bonus". Sale or not sale, there always are this downloadable Free items.

 

Grateful for what?

Just because Rockstar provide some "free sh*ts" (only children are happy with this kind of thing, because only kids love to have many things, even useless, even if they never use them)..... I bought this game including this business model (Rockstar choice!!), and for now, all these new Items don't interest me.. because I want to play to a GTA Game... not Sims (nor TDU2).

 

But yes, if Rockstar sells less Shark cards, then yes, likely, Rockstar would already have proposed a payable DLC (for story mode as they had done for GTA IV with TBoTG and Lost & Damned)...

 

BTW: Updates= Fix bugs, and improvements.... It's free, as usual (from every respectful game and software companies), fortunately!

 

 

 

I'm happy they have made money. It's a great game. And when they make money, they can make more good games. WIN-WIN.

 

No, it's not.

With all this money, Rockstar games could product/sell a game every years and hire people.... but they don't.

All these Items adds don't ask many times nor many money to create them....

You know why?

Because this money is going in the Shareholder pockets, that's all.... It's just "win" for these laziest people.....

Gta 5 runs horrible, with all the freezes and disconnections, its reminding me of HOME (which NEVER came out of BETA).

 

If only they would spend some of those MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE REAL ISSUES WITH ONLINE...

[Chloroform]

If knoy R* could use that money to fix the sh*tty servers...

The problem with that, there really isn't servers. We use a p2p connection, so basically were using each others connection to "power" online. Now if rockstar had dedicated servers, fine have cash cards but they don't.

[TheKingChivas]

What a pathetic thread.

 

Simply this...Halal, you know quite well what any thread like this turns into, and lookie here, it's happened again. Most of the usual suspects are lining up in their tear-stained shirts sounding like the impotent fools they are.

 

Sorry children...the cash cards are fine. The game is not broken, your logic is.

Gta 5 runs horrible, with all the freezes and disconnections, its reminding me of HOME (which NEVER came out of BETA).

 

 

1 - Runs wonderfully on PS4.

2 - Has never frozen for me on PS4, disconnected once or twice in 9 months

 

Sorry some of you guys seem to have problems still, but the majority of people are doing just fine.

[Jammsbro]

Once again to all the whiners that Rockstar make money.

 

This game is free to play. Everything in it is free and you never have to part with a penny.

 

I WANT Rockstart to make money. This is how I get an excellent, free, online GTA experience for as long as I want to play it.

 

And to all of the people about to say that the game isn't excellent. You are still here and still playing, every single day. Can't be all that bad if after two years you are still heavily involved in the game.

Nah, I'll continue typing, thank you very much And again, that's good for you. I don't even need to stalk you (not that I want to or even need to) as you're pretty muc heverywhere on this forum, complaining.

 

And who says I don't care? I just don't let video games bother me like it does with most of you in here to the point where I come onto this forum just to whine all day. What Rockstar do, is their business, whether it be what they're selling, patching, putting in updates, whatever. Yes, they've made some screw ups, but what company doesn't?

 

And wowww, you're a "true fan", would you like a medal for that? I didn't know Rockstar managing their own game the way the want to results in them "being run into the ground".

 

If things bother you so much, why don't you go ahead and make your own game on a scale like this? That way you can be truly happy and things won't "go south" as you say. And you can complain and play as much you want, but I still don't believe you enjoy the game. I don't agree with everything Rockstar do either.

irrelevant drivel

 

huh?

[Chloroform]

You can't grasp onto what I'm saying Days, not surprising from your comments. I guess you never heard of constructive criticism before? Nor the saying "the customer is always right". I enjoy the game yes, I don't care if you believe more or not. It wouldn't make sense for me to be here if I didn't.

The game isn't pay to win ? Really so I assume then that the Homing Launcher is free, As so is the Hydra and Valkrie and Armoured Kuruma, No its not pay to win at all now is it, It's pretty obvious that it actually is, You wanna stand a chance in a freeroam session then you have to pay for it, The new insurance premiums alone prove this.

The homing launcher and the Armored Kuruma didn't cost me a cent. I play the game and buy the things I want with the money I earn from playing the game. Kersh kerd conspirators pretend like R* has rigged the game so that you have to buy cash cards to stand a chance, much less play the game when that isn't the case at all. Cash cards are an option. You can buy everything you like by investing time and playing the game. The only people I ever hear whining about cash cards are the people that don't want to do what it takes to earn money in-game and are butthurt that their only other legit option costs real money. If you don't want to play the game the way R* intended, and you don't want to pay money to circumvent hard work, what DO you want?

So much stronk in that statement. Well done

 

Pro tip for all those that feel very strongly about R*'s non innovative content and profit hungry ways - vote with your feet and play a different game.

 

Because it is only a game. To pass the time. Nothing more nothing less.

 

Why play if it goes against your core beliefs ? If I felt that I was being "scammed" ( which quite frankly I find it laughable that I would feel that way), I'd part ways and go into the woods, start a commune and sing kumbayah o lord around a hearthy camp fire

Sure. It's clear you have a problem with Rockstar being a business, and secretly want to cry about it, which you do on plenty of other threads. You seem to be fixtated on whining about cash cards now.

 

This thread is nothing but a veiled "Let's talk shxt about R* and the ways they make money" thread. There are already plenty of annoying cash card threads up, go to one of those. We don't need you wasting more bandwith with this drivel.

yes this is a discussion about the ways R* generate revenue and it could be useful imo if kept civil. I don't see it as drivel, we paid to play this game and obviously some customers found the microtransactions useful, so why not talk about it?

 

I don't see it as a waste of bandwidth and I have to pay extra for my bandwidth.

 

OT: that's more than I thought they could possibly make and although some may claim it's too much or we should get more since R* profited more, I can appreciate the fact that R* will put lots of those profits back into making better games in and improving the existing ones.

 

I bought 2-3 cards near release in 2013 (before the billionaire days, one I bought for a friend) and was happy to support R*. I don't regret it, in fact I appreciate the fact that I can keep up with my grinder buddies even though i'm at work gringing RL all day.

Now I have what I want in the game (buzzard] so I won't buy anymore, I appreciate earning these virtual things, plus the amount of rampant cheaters kind of ruins the online fun so I can't justify spending more since I have to put up with godmode players blowing us all up with the push of a button and of course, spawning money bags on my head.

 

I morally I don't approve of pay to win but now that i'm a bit older I can't play to win at the same rate as the majority of players (the lucky young ones), so this type of "microtransacton" suited my needs / wants for this game. Happy others seemed to like it too.

You really summed it up very well. If for whatever reasons, be it cash cards, technical problems you experience or just the overall design of the game, you have such overwhelming issues with the game or Rockstar themselves, why would you keep playing it?? I see the same names complain over and over and over again for nearly 2 years...but they're still playing!

 

The way the game is designed isn't changing...the economy is how it is and that's just how it's going to be.

 

The major tech issues are had by a small percentage of players. That stinks for them, no sarcasm intended, but unfortunately, if your game is really that f*cked up right now, odds are it isn't going to get any better for you.

 

As blacknambla said, if you really feel that strongly, "vote with your feet"...I'd never keep playing this game if I had so many problems with it that I felt the need to post hundreds of complaints on a message board that's not even affiliated with the gaming company!

 

Once again, it's not changing...I'm sorry if you don't like that, but it's simply the truth and maybe you'd be better off finding a game that suits whatever your needs are more properly.

Congratulations on going full retard.

Pay-to-win would require that these items are only available if you buy them with actual real-life currency.

 

Also, none of the items you listed are required to play the game nor "win" it. You are assuming every person who plays this game does so with a troll/grief mindset.

 

The freeroam money sink is something players do to themselves, not R*. If you saw their trailers,freeroam was meant to be a hub area for people to interact/change clothes/gear up in. It was the players who turned it into a cheapshot-kills-first lobby with people constantly trying to 1-up each other no matter the price. If you're spending drastic amounts of money in freeroam, it's because you choose to do so, not because that's how R* envisioned it so they could "milk you dry" (which is ironic since pretty much every griefer/troll has never bought a card).

Plenty of people get by in freeroam without spending a dime. It's called 'not being an asshole'.

 

If anything, the new insurance claims are so people can think twice before blowing up others' vehicles.

 

because I want to play to a GTA Game... not Sims (nor TDU2).

 

There's this great thing called single-player...

And even then, you can do pretty much everything in Online as you can in other GTA titles. Buy/steal vehicles, stir things up, do missions, etc.

What you're asking for is that R* change to adapt to your view of what's good or bad...lol, good luck with that.

If you really don't approve of this game, then don't play it. That's the best way to make your point.

 

Like I said I can complain about some parts of the game while playing it. Some people don't understand not everyone agrees on EVERYTHING.

 

Kinda hypocritical though.

It would be like ranting against someone's cooking yet licking the bowl dry.

You don't have to like everything 100%, but when you're voicing more complaints than satisfaction...yeah.

I'd be pro shark cards if support was better, that's my only issue with them. I guess my issues with the lack of support in some peoples eyes is trivial since they don't have issues.

 

I have fun playing (when I don't get kicked into a lobby by myself) I have fun when lag isn't an issue but like I said its trivial to most people. They might have "compassion" but they don't feel the pain others have. So to me its just empty words.

I'm only going to comment on the last paragraph of your comment. If anything all the "new insurance claims" are doing is showing how people don't care how much it is. I had a guy blow up my T20 over 6 times.

 

I kept calling mmi and he kept standing there blowing it up with his tank, he didn't care. Besides I can bypass that fee, so really what is the point of it?
