Based on something that happened recently I dunno.

 

Do you want to give up on the dependency of sh*tty P2P servers?

 

The value of shark cards will plummet drastically.

Leave, for sure.

 

On dedicated if one's a sh*t connection, it's his problem. On cloud is everyone else problem.

Dedicated servers would improve things... but they cost a crap-ton of money to operate (certainly compared to what they have now, that is more like just a database). Rockstar and Take-Two, if they chose to move that way, would have to decide:

  • Take the Shark Card money and use that to pay for servers instead of new content
  • Make it a subscription-access service
  • Make DLC's paid-for (Shark Cards for in-game cash still optional)
  • Enroll in Trump University and make millions in real estate and channel the profits toward funding the servers

With any choice they would have to shift their entire business model for GTAO.

Leave, and build a great big wall between us and the P2P stuff, so it doesn't get here again.

 

Edit: And the P2P stuff will pay for it, you know.

The difference is, in this poll it is smart to vote leave... Irl, 52% voted with their hearth instead of with their brains (wich was misinformed and lied to anyway).

What happens if certain parts of the server system refuse the popular vote and insist on remaining P2P?

Dedicated Servers vs McDonalds wifi

Lag free vs Lag

Staying Connected to the server vs Disconnecting constantly

 

I can see it now, Leave Joins Session, Remain Joins session, Remain all disconnect, Leave wins because Remain all "Leave"

This game is seriously annoying at times, like properly, shouting at the TV pacing in and out of the kitchen annoying, and most of the annoyance is related to the way the game is being presented to us.

 

Time for R* to grow up. I think it's incredibly short-sighted of them not to have dedicated servers.

I would be tempted to say remain if only so that it'd be easier to get solo public sessions where it splits and I can be a CEO in peace.

 

But nah, leave. I actually enjoy playing with other players, especially in races and the new adversary mode.

The connection is (by far) the worst part of this beautiful game. Makes me sad to think how perfect this game could be on dedicated servers.

Wow, I never quite thought about it that way.

 

But I still think they should've went with dedicated servers over P2P.

 

At least with dedicated servers, we would be able to enjoy the content more.

I'm guessing that around the time BoGT was released, the project leaders were sitting around a table to work out what the evolution of IV's Multiplayer would be. They had "pros and cons" on a whiteboard for P2P and Servers. They saw P2P was much lower on their-side cost and probably expected technology to improve and a significant portion of their playerbase would be on great ISP connections. They chose P2P and built the game and its business model on that foundation. Years go by, some people have crap ISPs or their family (and neighbors) hog bandwidth and a noticeable portion of the playerbase are crawling around with 0.8Mb/s or decent speed but intermittent interruptions that can kill a data stream. Plus, friends want to play together but one's in California, one's in Belgium, and one's in Abu Dhabi and (no shock) the connection between them is sketchy even though they each have good individual connections.

 

Could the game be shifted to Rockstar hosting servers?

Probably, but I'm no programmer or IT genius to say yes or no. The game may require extensive re-coding that would cost them millions in addition to all the additional hardware they would need and its maintenance and infrastructure, including industrial-level internet connections.

They already make a f*ck ton of money from all the shark card sales from overpriced update content.

I voted to leave p2p, and get dedicated servers even IF that means the game wouldn't last more two years due to the financial costs of keeping the servers up and running.

As long as the experience drastically improves than the sh*t we have now, I all for it.

 

P.S.: I wouldn't pay for subscription though.
