Nah, by making it free, it's easier to ignore any b*tching about it not working. Same with the original online mode. It's free so when it wasn't working well, it really couldn't have bothered old rocky that much.

Thanks jlmurph!

Free shit is free... Don't complain... And GTA has sold over 30 million copies... Even if they charged for it, they would have server problems cause people would still buy it and people would be even more pissed cause they paid for it

Over 45 million to be exact.

Exactly! Heck, this is probably why they delayed the PC version too cause just imagine these types of server problems + the PC gamers trying to do it as well! It would be soo much worse since its already like this:

With how long it took, they should have just marketed it as DLC from the beginning.

When you promise the consumer something for free, you give them that, regardless if it's 1 1/2 years later.

Nah, they're like Nolon Bushnell in the Atari days. They've got more money than they could piss it away. With GTA5 alone...they should have made a killing.

Rockstar have enough money I'm sure.

Doesn't their parent (Take 2) frequently bleed money?

Is Rockstar properly owned by them or just contracted?

There will always be server problems, the main issue is that they never ever plan and never expect that many people to play the game for a feature that was promised ages ago, forward planning for online games seems to be an almost dead concept, charging for it would put people off and others indefinitely, imagine if after nearly a 2 year delay they charge PC users full price for a port of an old game and then have the gall to charge for online in the PC realm, R* would get dropped like a hat in that space easily.

If they charged 2 dollars or even 5 a shit load of people would but it. Sure millions rebought the game a few months ago. And as I said it could be made free in 3 months.
