Yeah it’s horrible, but I think it’s made even worse because the premise and concept sounds like it’d make for a really great game. An open world sandbox of ass kicking, like Hell’s Angels meets Fallout with a destructable/interactable environment. It’s such a good idea but unfortunately Rockstar didn’t pick up on it and we got this instead :-/
The shitty thing is that if margins are high enough only a very small minority of owners need to subscribe in order for them to break even and then we get stuck with it for eternity like SiriusXM being implanted into practically everything.
And of course there’s no way to just ‘opt out’ of the hardware via trim levels. Shitty industry in general
