We should boycott Rockstar games and only play their old games like Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2.

[The Deadhood]

Rockstar is only going to change if their most loyal fans stop giving them money entirely. Should quit buying their games forever and only play their old ones like Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 and even Grand Theft Auto V Online. The online for Red Dead Redemption 2 may have been abandoned their the devs but the fans and players can keep it alive.

Considering Rockstar killed Red Dead Online by abandoning it and has destroyed Grand Theft Auto Online with updates acting futuristic science fiction weapons and vehicles and allowing hackers to run amok infecting people's accounts, games, and even computers what do you think of Rockstar now? The fact Rockstar tried to ban all mods on their games and continues to milk GTA V since 2013! Rockstar has become the very thing they used to mock and it's disgusting. Rockstar is worse than both EA and Activision combined. I'm not saying people gotta stop playing these games altogether but asking people to boycott future releases from Rockstar like GTA 6 which is probably going to be full of Micro Transactions.

Sadly..... RS is using predatory behavior. They are attacking kids like they a griefer using a mk2 on a noob. RS knows how sucker punch kids. If you think I'm stupid, the move few years ago to make epic games GTA5 free on epic for 2 weeks was a way to lure kids in. HELLO!!!! the gambling, the cars, the mk2, the future tech, the lack of story plot, and FOMO. All these tactics are mobile game tactics. Make the game so hard that people cheat or buy. They want your money. And they will exploit kids. Especially fortnite kids. I have a feeling I will get reported for this but I am not saying anything offensive. The tactics used by RS is scary. I am going to spit out facts. 100usd gets you 10 million in shark cards. You need 520 million in game credits to buy everything and upgrade it. What is that in real world money.... 5200USD to get everything. A game that costs you 15 usd and an inventory that costs you 5200USD. Do you see what's wrong. GREED.

Naw you speak nothing but the truth. Rockstar has became an evil corporate demon. Most of the devs who originally worked on GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption, GTA 5, and Red Dead Redemption 2 are gone. All that's left is capitalist scum.

Capitalist scum in the easiest game to grind online with all dlc for free. You really need to not know the game to buy sharkcards...
Go play Genshin impact or FF14...

WoW, CoD, Battlefield, Starwars NeedforSpeed... You really think Activision and EA are better ?

Do you know how many people use softwares without legit licence ? Guess why...

The OP is so dumb, he says to boycott them and says to stop buying/playing their games, and in the next sentence this:

"Should quit buying their games forever and only play their old ones like Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 and even Grand Theft Auto V Online."

He actually says that we should keep playing these games. OP is dumb af.

Playing these old games isn't the problem dummy. The problem is people keep buying their products and micro transactions. Regardless of how evil the company is their games are fun with community and friends. I'd rather waste my money on new Call of Duty games because at least Activision has more player friendly games that are more fun to play. Rockstar purposely makes their games grindy to sell micro transactions to little kids. Even EA isn't this disgusting with their games as Rockstar has been with GTA Online. People tear apart EA but give Rockstar a free pass disgusts me.

It's easy to grind when you have modders giving you free money and RP to level up quickly LOL. Modders are doing what Rockstar taught them to do is steal from them instead of being a loser with no life who plays the same missions over and over with very little pay and RP.

1) Yes, boycott Rockstar Games. They have falsely advertised at this point, honestly i deserve like half my money back i paid for the online and its unplayable now

2). stop playing ALL of their games. They will change when they dont have people playing any of their games, because that kind of data is what gives the company value. Yes, individual sales of games do to, so dont buy anything new, but you gotta drive playercount #s down too if you want to enact change.

3) Rockstar must fix their approach to online. Their products are trash poison to me until they seriously address their architecture

[SqueakyTweaky]

You still need to purchase the old games to play them so what good it will do if you give them money for older titles.

[[-iD-]]

no, and i dont plan on playing online anyway. name one game that isn't an mmo that has no cheaters.

With number 2. I don't think driving the player count is gonna help. Driving down their profits is 100% definitely going to help.

Rockstar will lose absolutely nothing if they lost pc playerbase since people on console are the whales who bring them in billions of dollars.

This is the sad reality. Rockstar never cared about PC players. Their PC ports are notoriously trash and they never ported the first Red Dead Redemption to PC!

Never cared about pc players?

Are there "mods" on consoles? NO
Why PC got them? Because when R* tried to close the door to the modding community well.... the game gets review bombed.
So.... who are the culprits to this ♥♥♥♥ show?
Cheats are there for a reason you know? Market laws?

R* Stop caring about PC player at some point because well spending huge amount of money trying to stop cheaters is a waste of money.

You know its like viruses vs antiviruses. Never ending war.

As long as pathetic idiots are willing to spend money on cheats it won't stop.

And for those who make/give free cheats they just deserve to end up in jail because legit players shouldn't have to be worried about getting their progress reset or their computer destroyed/hacked while they paid for a game they enjoy.

I do hope if one day GTA 6 is released it will be "mod free" sorry bout that but just make your own game if you don't like it.

EDIT : don't missunderstood "cheating" and "modding" thats 2 different things.
