GTA Online adds a quality-of-life feature players have wanted for years then upsets everyone by paywalling it: 'One of the slimiest things they've done in a while' (www.pcgamer.com)

Honestly, I'm still a bit surprised that anyone still plays it.

As far as I'm concerned, it's really never been good.

There is a big streaming scene on various platforms, people doing it as a full time job. They are roleplaying, which is popular with a bunch of 3rd party mods to support it. This probably contributes to the longevity of the game.

The online version is so different than the original release. Its like a whole different hand you'd hardly recognise (except for its GTAness).
