A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I just hope this, plus the existence of GTA+, isn’t a prelude to online play being a fully subscription based model.
The overwhelming prevalence of subscription models, their success with shark cards, and consistent revenue stream for GTA+, would incentivize Rockstar to do something like that, even though I do not think the community would support it—not in the numbers we are used to.
The ultimate question is—what makes the most money? And fewer—but PAYING—players could potentially drive that. I hope not.
