How GTA 6 will change the gaming industry *again*

lots of hype surrounding GTA 6 is occurring again because of the recent update to GTA online and the possibility of a new trailer any month now Rockstar hell it's been 7 months since the first trailer and we've been dying for some more info ever since with the excitement of course comes a lot of negativity as well people can't believe the game will look this good pissed about 30 FPS the release being console only Etc I myself only really see two major concerns for GTA 6 and GTA 6 online that of course being the cheating SL modding problem over on PC GTA online and microtransactions which affects everyone in online now we'll focus on the microtransactions today but I'd love to give my two cents on the Moder problem if you guys would like to see a separate video on the topic GTA online changed gaming industry standards since it's Lun for back in 2013 and Rockstar once again has the opportunity to change the gaming industry with the launcher GTA 6 online For Better or For [Music] Worse but to understand how they change the industry we have to go back back to where it all started back in 2013 think of some of your favorite games around that time 2012 2013 Far Cry 3 Borderlands 2 Black Ops 2 Bioshock Battlefield 4 COD ghost Etc there are many more examples of course but all these games have one thing in common paid DLC don't get me wrong it still happens today all the time take Call of Duty for example you don't have to pay for maps or guns anymore all because of the ballsy move rockster made back in 2013 that changed the gaming industry standard November 19th 2013 was the day the beach bum update dropped for GTA online and single player for exactly 0 it was completely free back then it was very uncommon to release DLC without a dollar amount back then and even now the word DLC received a grown from everyone it was a dirty word that got Gamers to open their wallets so they could continue playing their favorite games Rockstar of course had their Shark cards where players could purchase for a boost of ingame Cur cury we all know about them at this point but it was easily overlooked as you could have always made the money on your own SH cards were a shortcut if you didn't have the time to play or just wanted to skip out on the actual grinding to check out some of the new stuff but ever since Rockstar's free updates games have slowly been changing to that standard as well no longer do we have to pay for guns or maps on Call of Duty or Battlefield for example and many other games there are still many games that you have to pay for new content like Elden ring which has got nothing but praise but nonetheless gaming was changed forever with that decision Rockstar made back in November of 2013 with the beach B update before we reach the modern day however there is one more thing I'd like to mention fortnite fortnite though freeo play for everyone perfected the new modern gaming Dirty Work live service their model is simple the game gets constant updates because the developers can't go home until they've worked their fair share of an 80 to 100 hour weeks to keep the game fresh and exciting how they make their money is through cosmetic transactions and skins and a battle pass which does not affect the game playay whether you're a fan of fortnite or not the map changing different cars different weapons being implemented into the Battle Royale game can definitely keep things exciting or incredibly frustrating fortnite's free-to-play aspect with their live service model definitely became mainstream because of it but I think Rockstar in GTA 5 really got the ball rolling back in 2013 this live service model has completely taken over yeah Call of Duty doesn't make you pay for the maps anymore but you better be sure when that juicy Nicki Minaj is in the store sorry where was it oh yeah and get the new guns early which of course will be the new meta and you'll want to get your hands on ASAP fear is how companies make their money with this live service model putting something new and exciting in their game that you can get earlier with a credit card or you could possibly miss out on it completely overpriced cars and weaponized aircrafts that would take you days to earn or a simple purchase of a shark card it's almost like Rockstar saw into the future that they were somehow ahead of their times and predicted this predatory practice all those years ago what Rockstar was once praised for is now what people hate most about them and we haven't gotten even even started with GTA plus the oppressor Mark II is a perfect example of one of the very overpriced vehicles in the game up until summer of 2022 you had to do all your businesses in public lobbies which would mean there would be some little children on their little flying motorcycles that would come and murder you immediately once they saw your little tiny blip on the map they're kind of like Bulls it's not their fault when they see red they just dive head first into it it's not their fault but of course they've been given that option and Liberty through the oppressor Mark I a lot of people like myself are grinding for the oppressor mark I because of how overpowered and convenient it was to fly around on the map on a little flying broomstick it would take you days or even weeks depending on how much time you're putting into the game and effort to earn this vehicle or you could just pull out your credit card and oh what's that oh it's conveniently priced at $100 for a shark card and you can just get the oppressor Mark I right now Rockstar has released some live service already in Red Dead online the battle pass of course was free to earn or you could pull out your credit card and buy the gold to earn the battle pass immediately the battle pass would give you a bunch of Cosmetics ammo materials for crafting Etc fear though was used as these really cool and unique outfits would go away and be unobtainable or so it seemed at the time you can now go and get these special outfits for AR 's unique outfit as well as John marson's unique outfit for 52 gold bars each which is equivalent to $40 to $50 Red Dead online took some scary steps into the live service gaming World gold for example was the second currency in game that would earn you businesses which was hard to get your hands on until you had of course businesses it was an absolute pain to get gold at first but of course you could just pull out the credit card and buy some even if you make one purchase of gold to get started the damage has already been done you paid an extra 10 15 bucks on top of the already 60 to $70 you spend on the game this exists everywhere now and is the new standard give players new things to earn with the fear of missing out which of course Segways into the most recent predatory practices from Rockstar GTA plus shortly after the long awaited GTA 5 next next gen upgrade on March 29th 2022 I actually have a live reaction of zyen and I when we heard about GTA plus the day it came out I don't criticize Rockstar often but what the [ __ ] did you just think or what the [ __ ] were you thinking what is Rockstar thinking this better stay off PC don't want this garbage this move is so unexpected I can honestly say the same I didn't [ __ ] see this coming no took them two years to not only make zero new content for their new expanded enhanced game except for a couple cars which isn't new the paint jobs could have been added in what the the [ __ ] genuinely what the [ __ ] at first at its release Rockstar was only hiding certain clothes and cosmetics behind their new subscription based pay wall that of course being GTA plus which as since become cars money bonuses properties and even gameplay features the recent GTA plus updates allow players to obtain their safe money through an app on their phone shark cards were already bad enough but hiding gameplay features behind a subscription oh how the mighty have fallen more eyes are on Rockstar now more than ever before with GTA 6 hopefully releasing late next year now you're probably thinking Jacob where are you going with this should we be scared or hopeful of GTA 6 online after all this Rockstar does have a chance to redeem themselves and there is a glimmer of hope some games like hell divers 2 made the term live service not so dirty they allow all their battle passes to be earned or bought but best of all there's no time limit on their battle passes there's no fear of missing out you can take your time and play the game casually and earn it down the road in fact I like the idea of having that to look forward to without all the pressure most battle passes give you like 30 40 days to complete and hope you feel pressured enough to throw a few bucks their way to finish it but not hell divers too they are one example that the live service model does not have to be scary and I think Rockstar has the opportunity to either ruin the reputation or once again be praised for breaking barriers I think there's two paths one bad microtransaction riddled path and the good path stick with me here and have some goddamn Faith all right the bad path they could go down would be of course continuing what they're doing adding second or third currencies that are are hard or impossible to obtain unless you start your first businesses or a credit card hiding more gameplay features and content behind your subscription service hiding content behind battle passes that are time based in making the economy stupidly overpriced like it is now those are a few icky live service practices that are more or less happening already that of course if you mix both GTA and Red Dead online or they could go on the path of redemption leave their subscription little idiot of a service to only cosmetic items have battle passes that are't time base and be earned for free at any time balance the economy and payouts for all content get rid of that dumbass gold and capital idea and [ __ ] burn it make the microtransactions completely avoidable for the average casual player and keep the fun things affordable all while keeping the game live service and giving us content updates and road maps for what's to come to keep us excited and a little bit more motivated during our grind I want Rockstar to change the standard for live service titles waiting 6 months for GTA online updates like we do right now just ain't going to cut it Rockstar knows GTA 6 online will be their money maker and needs to keep it fresh and updated constantly without the fear of most live service games out there we should all want GTA 6 to be live service it's not the current industry's live service at the end of the day I will be playing this game no matter what as many of you will too the gamer regardless of the microtransactions or not will still be amazing my friends and I have already talked about calling off work or school once the GTA 6 online actually comes out years in advance we've been talking about this for years the game is still very far away but it'll be over before you know it I hope wherever I'm at in life I'll have the time and means to play this game from my favorite series of all time and of course make content on it I will be grinding the absolute hell out of this game and losing sleep I guarantee that I hope no matter the microtransactions that I'll be able to enjoy this game and mess around with my friends and a whole new map in sandbox the term live service doesn't have to be scary I just wanted to give you guys all the facts about what direction Rockstar is really going with their microtransactions whether or not you should be worried I don't think you should be worried depending on how much you'll play the game of course which we will have to wait and find out now if you're a huge grinder then I don't think you have anything to worry about but if you have other live service games like if you play an NBA 2K and a Call of Duty and you now have three live service games you have to juggle between job and school and family and all that then you're going to miss out on some things and if you're okay with that then you're okay with that who cares I mean at the end of the day this is just a game if you miss out on a few hats or glasses or something who cares you'll still be able to enjoy the hell out of this game as will I and I hope it's just not too much content that actually affects gameplay like cars or planes I would hate to miss out on a really cool and big fun car plane that all my friends and I can get in the back of now if it's a livery or something big whoop I don't really care okay I'm going to be robbing banks regardless and having an absolute blast so regardless of what this video made you feel with all of the facts I hope that you're still excited as am I and of course I would love to hear what you guys think about this video microtransactions and of course let me know some other topics that you would like me to cover like I said in the intro I'd love to cover some of the cheating and modding issues that may also occur in GTA 6 I also got some pretty awesome GTA 6 concept ideas that I would like to share as well like how Rockstar could Implement Heist roles and how that may or may not work so let me know if you guys would like to hear that as well with that being said I hope you guys enjoyed if you are new consider subscribing and in the meantime check out these videos here on screen and I'll see you guys in the next one
