How much money do shark cards make per day?

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.

 

 

Comparing a company that does huge single player expansions for a price to a company that has an online game for everyone to play and not charging a dime for the dlc... yeah, that makes a load of f*cking sense. Let's see how much more devoid of actual logic and reason we can get before the universe implodes on itself.

 

You people act like the fact they let you spend real money on it means it's just like a f2p game only those are actually worse and make you grind even more for basic things in order to basically strongarm you into spending money. This is nothing like that and there's literally only a pressure to spend real money if you're impatient. It's like all you do is take one glance at things and complain because to you one tiny little commonality = the same thing. It's like looking at salmon and kobe beef and saying they're both meat they're being the same thing. It's f*cking disgusting the way you act about it.

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?

Oh people care alright...it's why there's been lot's bitching about it.

Only exception to that are the people who have cheated their way to extreme in-game wealth, but the average joe will definitely feel the squeeze if they keep the same attitude up.

 

As for bypassing the fee, while it can be done, how many people do you think really hassle themselves doing it?

Not everyone in this game that has an "extreme in game wealth" cheated. Lots of players from the billion dollar days still have their cash (the ones that didn't bank it and kept it on hand) and clearly lots of players have bought cash cards. These can be said people that are going around and blowing sh*t up like its nothing.

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 R* really wanted us to be friends, hug eachother and simply hang around looking at the sky, THEY WOULDNT ALLOW GUNS IN FREEROAM!!!

 

they wont allow tanks, jets and attack helicopters in freeroam, there would be no need to car insurances!

 

open lobby freeroam plays out exactly as intented by them, hence why theres no such thing as "friendly" lobbies like in IV.

Most people who go around blowing stuff up not caring likely have tons of money and those that bought it and don't care about throwing their real money literally in the toilet (because that's what blowing up cars repeatedly is). Most people who don't have cheater money do care though. I'd imagine people who bought shark cards would care even more than your average person because they spent real money on that. The people who don't care likely have cheater money or are broke on their character so they can or whatever anyway.

 

But really, very few people who don't care are likely to fall into either of those categories, most of them are going to have cheater money just based on their behavior and attitude in general.

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.

 

Oh yeah, pay for DLC. That means people who dont have money at the time cant play GTA Online because they cant download the content required.

 

Anyway, the problem isnt that R* is making money from Shark Cards, the problem is they are doing nothing to fix the game fully.

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.

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.

 

OP clearly doesn't find them useful :lol: It could be kept civil, but as I've said, the people that are completely against shark cards, for whatever reason, love to become agitated if you don't agree with their view on shark cards.

 

Good post though.

I can see how people with no time and lots of disposable income could find them useful.

 

Mate your post was the first non civil post and unnecessarily aggressive to boot, the anti shark card people are for the most part being civil here...it's funny though I post on here a fair bit and you aren't on my dickhead radar so was surprised with your response to my thread.

I'm not too sure about that, I'm not disagreeing with you BUT a buddy of mine (Xbox "friend") buys shark cards once a month because he doesn't care about missions etc. He blows sh*t up all the time and really doesn't care. Its the way he plays, that's how he gets his enjoyment, sick if you ask me. No way I'd play that way but there are people out there that just live in free roam that don't cheat and mostly buy shark cards.

 

This is who the game is being aimed at currently, the players that play free roam only. That's why updates are the same old same old. People have that Pokemon mentality.

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 :p

 

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.

Not as eloquently put as yours. English is not my first language.

 

I don't deny about the rampant issues that have afflicted the game of late. That doesn't mean I don't care. However, after two years and a shedload of vitrolic support tickets later, (some of which have been deleted) I've come to terms of putting up with it.

 

Rockstar won't change anything at all. As mentioned by previous posters, it isn't cost effective to do so and may break the game. The coding is fixed. All the devs can do is put temporary band aids.

 

That being said the online portion, as I see it, is a work in progress - warts and all. I like to believe that R* may learn from this foray and hopefully improve upon when the next installment comes along.

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.

 

funny thing is a few of these people admited to not even playing the game anymore a week ago in another thread.

Seeing the numbers i can only say that whatever they are doing works better then i thought.

That being said it woud be stupid if they stopped with cash cards if i were them.

And kinda....on top of that i realy think i shoud not have been suprised considering i the end almost everyone is gonna transfer to a next gen console were they will pay the equivalent of a ps3 console every 5 years(when talking about ps+)

 

Edit: im just saying...it is not my concern what you do with youre money, do whatever you want with it

Do you have any idea how easy it would be to fix the game? Apparently the lot of you who complain about it seem to know something the rest of us peasants don't. If you don't, then why the f*ck act like it's so easy to just throw money at it?

 

People whine there are no dedi servers but have no idea how much that would cost or how many you would need, because they use a p2p meshed system where every player is constantly updating others on what they're doing and what's going on and all that. This is why people who get disconnected don't simply get booted offline but end up in their own sessions, which is much better than getting kicked off entirely. You'd need dedi servers for every single instance of the game that people might be in otherwise you're looking at horribly inconsistent experiences, and that includes the people playing online and doing solo races and the like. Unless they used some system to attempt to differentiate in which case people joining and spectating and all would have connection issues and I doubt it's a simple matter to seamlessly have people going from a Rockstar dedi server to their own using this meshed network system they use currently for the game, and that's on top of all the prohibitive issues with dedi servers to begin with like just how much they would cost and how much work would need to be done to run and maintain them and everything else. Then people complaining about the game not getting fixed and wall breaches and stuff, well, it might just not really be that possible without having people redownload what is basically the world again, but again, we have no idea how possible it is to even fix a lot of this in an already horribly complex game that's likely a bitch and a half to take care of as it is simply due to the size.

Rockstar did intend and want for free roam to be more friendly than it is now. If you look at the changes they made to allow people to blow up and do as much as they can now, it's quite clear. Rockstar did not anticipate people to do it nearly as much as they currently do. Allowing that stuff does not say that they don't want players to be friendly at all, look at the activities you can do with people and tell me they didn't want it to be a social experience and instead wanted sociopathic simulator 2014.

 

 

I'm not too sure about that, I'm not disagreeing with you BUT a buddy of mine (Xbox "friend") buys shark cards once a month because he doesn't care about missions etc. He blows sh*t up all the time and really doesn't care. Its the way he plays, that's how he gets his enjoyment, sick if you ask me.

I have a friend like that too. Wants to do nothing but call in a heli and blow up people and plays how you think a 12 year old would, with the mentality of someone who just got their hands on gta3 and just wants to blow everything up and that's all. It's a boring way to play to me and I think it's gross. This is someone that's older than me as well acting like that, but I don't think they're representative of people as a whole, I think it's just a few outliers who just happen to be there. The amount of bitching I hear when people blow up my car is absurd not to notice compared to those who just don't give a sh*t lol.

I honestly though they were making more than that (assuming that the source is relatively close to the actual numbers) especially considering how popular GTAV is and how well it sold. That's how much money popular mobile games make in a day.

 

I think what R* needs to do, is prioritizing on adding features and quality of life updates along with cosmetic stuff. It will boost their cash shop and will keep the playerbase happy.

 

As for people complaining, it's all players fault really. When R* made quality DLC in GTAIV people didn't buy it. Therefore they said that they would shift to micro-transaction/small DLC, like the rest of the industry. We knew all that way before GTA V came out.

So, I guess after enduring two years of this it's safe to assume that most of you would rather have paid $2.99 in real life money for your T20?

 

No?

 

I can only imagine the whining around here if you had no option for ingame cash and every item included in a DLC/update/whatever pack cost you real money.. Especially since, generally speaking, each successive generation of item was better than the one before. Instead of whining about shark cards, you'd be bitching about pay to win, right?

 

...?

 

So, question:

Since "everything for free" was not, will not, can not, and never will be an option just how exactly do you want it to work? What method do you folks like Chloroform, Halal, and the rest of the people who have to whine about the same thing, at every chance, want it to work?

I haven't played in over a month...no point until they add something worthwhile/another garage...unsure how discussion of this topic is in any way negated by that..if anything I can be objective as I've been a hardcore player that just played gta online for possibly as much as 18 months and now I can reflect on my experience...all this thread was was discussing numbers being made but you guys cannot handle it clearly and will not allow such discussion.

Better than THEY thought as well. I've mentioned it ad nauseum in other posts, but there's an interview with a Rockstar Executive where he plainly stated that the Shark Card sales have "far exceeded expectations" (actual quote). It seems they underestimated how many people would go for the quick fix themselves.

Especially since, generally speaking, each successive generation of item was better than the one before. Instead of whining about shark cards, you'd be bitching about pay to win, right?

 

...?

 

So, question:

Since "everything for free" was not, will not, can not, and never will be an option just how exactly do you want it to work? What method do you folks like Chloroform, Halal, and the rest of the people who have to whine about the same thing, at every chance, want it to work?

You should learn to read mate.

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.

 

Oh yeah, pay for DLC. That means people who dont have money at the time cant play GTA Online because they cant download they content required.

 

Anyway, the problem isnt that R* is making money from Shark Cards, the problem is they are doing nothing to fix the game fully.

 

Do you have any idea how easy it would be to fix the game? Apparently the lot of you who complain about it seem to know something the rest of us peasants don't. If you don't, then why the f*ck act like it's so easy to just throw money at it?

 

You clearly missed my point. I wasnt complaining, I was just pointing out that with all the money they are getting from shark card sales there should be some sort of improvement, but it seems they are only fixing minor, harmless issues rather than the ones that actually affect people.

@Bluesocks they can put 100 activities but if you give people 1 weapon, lets say we only have access to the crowbar, you can be sure they would try to kill eachother repeatedly.

 

remove the weapons and people would still look for ways to kill eachother!

I think by "friendly" he means co-operative, killing NPCs and enemies together.

The thing is that's all assumption that it's minor harmless things. Dead hookers duplicating cars? That seems like something that would be harmless but it proves how things seem harmless might not be. They also haven't fixed things like the pearl on any paint glitch and all so it's not like they're only fixing things that do nothing. I wasn't meaning you specifically though but just people who complain about it in general that they're only doing little fixes and not fixing big things. They're also going to fix small things while they work on big things, so there's that too.

I have never seen a thread on the exact subject, point me to it and I will feel bad mate.

 

I don't really talk about shark cards that much either but more the lack of fresh content and just stuff to buy.

That's my biggest gripe really...they've let the game descend into a 12 year olds paradise...anyway that's off topic.

Seeing the numbers i can only say that whatever they are doing works better then i thought.

 

 

Better than THEY thought as well. I've mentioned it ad nauseum in other posts, but there's an interview with a Rockstar Executive where he plainly stated that the Shark Card sales have "far exceeded expectations" (actual quote). It seems they underestimated how many people would go for the quick fix themselves.

 

well, we know what we can expect for the next gta then.

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.

So tell me, how does one get gtao for "free". Yeah thought so.

 

Yeah, if you actually f*cking read my post you'll see what I said was that we all PLAY GTAO FOR FREE.

 

Yes, if you want the game you have to buy the GTA V disc, but hey, guess what? You get a massive game with it, tons of free updates and listen up, I want you to pay attention here, A TOTALLY FREE ONLINE GAME THAT YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING TO PLAY OR UPDATE.

 

Idiot.
