    Had more of one than the new rockstar games. I really hope it doesn't turn out to be a soulless cash-grab like the past couple of games have been cough remasters cough

    Lol, you can dream, just don't pre-order.

    Edit: actually, going to expound on this. I predict the following:

    An initially buggy, but impressive engine with a mediocre, and probably too short single player story that will be overshadowed by always online crap that you can't turn off. There will be one or two missions that are news-worthily provocative in some way, featuring overly graphic sex and/or really REALLY violent. You'll probably have the option to play it in co-op mode. It will ship with online multi-player. will have game breaking micro transactions from the start, and the online space will be utterly toxic from day 1. They will milk this engine for the next 20 years until it (and we) beg for death. You will be able to dance. Like in fortnite, dance.

    Sure, but I think GTA V was a good deal in the long run. A pretty solid single player campaign and a good amount of online content once that was up and running. I'm not sure if there was online dlc or how that worked, I haven't played it since about a year after launch, but they had lots of extra content too over the decade.

    They released tons of free content updates over the years. For me, it got stale pretty quickly because you needed increasingly huge piles of in-game money to participate in any of the new content and that means either grinding for hours or buying fake money with real money.
    The single player and the world building were top notch though and it still doesn't feel like an old game after 10 years. It's crazy to think GTA 5 is now older than San Andreas was when 5 was released.

    They made money hands over fist with microtransactions and the selling of fake money.

    It's part of MMO game development to stop ingame inflation. But if you can sell some poor sods monopoly money: why stop inflation?

    I rather enjoyed GTAO but then I remembered that I was bankrolled by a cheater very early on. Not sure I would have loved it if I had to grind for money instead of immediately buying everything I ever wanted.

    When did Omegle die? Did it go while I was not looking?

    Yup, it passed quietly surrounded by friends and family. Hasn't been too many days (I think…). The CEO (or founder? Whoever) pulled the plug because they just didn't want to deal with it anymore iirc

    edit: Omegle shut down: Video chat website closed after abuse claims. 15h ago, not days ago lol

    I feel like we deserve Omegle. Its so fun when it works. I wonder if the Omegle where you had to verify with a college email was any good. But I never tried it 😔
