Grand Theft Auto Online

But, like, you kind of think about it how...

when Grand Theft Auto Online became a thing.

And pretty much that's kind of what's been making Rockstar money the last 10 years is people putting money into Grand Theft Auto Online or like GTA 6.

I

wonder if it's going to unite all the Pokemon dimensions together.

It made so much money online that they dropped the DLC that they had planned and folded it into the online.

Now, disclaimer, I have never touched a single minute of GTA Online and our kit will obviously continue not to do that going into 6th.

I also never played Red Dead Redemption online either.

It just doesn't appeal to me.

But he's funny and players aren't going to want to do that.

So it's really a Franklin story.

And I think if you do the death wish and he sort of gets mentored by Michael and learns loyalty from Trevor, you know, I think he's even in GTA Online.

I think he's the only one who reappears because the other two could be dead.

So anyway, since 2013, the Grand Theft Auto franchise has remained dormant, sort of.

GTA Online is huge, and that's actually something that we really don't have time to get into.

But in the interim, Rockstar has been gestating the most extravagantly developed video game of all time, with a budget estimated to exceed $1 billion fucking dollars.

That's a lot of Nerf guns.

And if you do it properly, you get heaps of cash, but I stuffed it up.

But then I also fell off because I got stuck on a mission and then GTA Online became a big thing, which...

Which is also the reason why I think it's taken us 37 years to get GDA 6.

And look, I played some GDA Online and it was fun.

At some point it got ridiculous.

I think I've said here.

I was playing GTA online and everything was good.

I had my apartment and my couple of cars and all my arsenal and stuff like that.

Thanks, man.

now we got octogunner gaming what's up homie do you think gta 6 will have a story dlc uh yes i do uh or at least some theme content added to it i do think so i do think that we're going to see a lot of stuff in online but i do think we're going to see that he also goes on to say the first dlcs for gta online were vaguely themed so even if we don't get something massive like an undead nightmare which i hope we do since uh that was scrapped zombie dlc for five we might still get some stuff added to the single player game i know rockstar realizes people are pretty upset that we didn't get any of multiple story DLCs planned for 5, but then again, they'll do what they want.

Yes, indeed.

Also, a personal theory I have is that Grand Theft Auto Online recently has been used as a testing ground for gameplay mechanics and activities that Rockstar might add into 6.

because,

uh,

we want to know what people like before they released GTA online because it can't fail and their business model relies

on it.

We know that Rockstar Games is going to introduce an online element.

Look at GTA V's GTA Online.

GTA Online is one of the biggest, most expansive, and most money-making video game online properties ever.

People are still playing it.

And in fact, if you want the next-gen version of GTA V, just the story mode, you don't even, you still have to download, well, you don't have to download, but the cover art for GTA V next-gen is GTA Online.

The story mode is its own separate thing.

Anyway, as Jason has posted recently, Rockstar workers behind GTA 6 will be voting on union recognition at the same time they celebrate the studio's most anticipated game launch of all time.

People are still buying that game today.

Of course, they also released GTA Online at the same time, which started as a pack-in but now stands alone as its own entry in the universe as a live service.

$800 million in sales in one day.

Fastest game to $1 billion.
