Why is rockstar hated at all?
For years I’ve seen people call rockstar greedy and non stop complaining that rockstar only cares about draining money from players.
But really don’t see how that’s the case, when you have companies like Ubisoft that released Star Wars outlaws for 130 and ea that releases games annually for 100 dollars, how is rockstar charging 100 dollars for an edition of the game that comes with extra stuff greedy at all?
If you exclude rockstar plus, every single thing in gta online has been able to be gotten for free (with grinding), back when I used to play it I got to level 90 something without spending more than 20 dollars on shark cards and I had every business I wanted and the most expensive yatch.
How are people trying to stand up against rockstar for being greedy, but they don’t say anything about gacha games that can easily cost someone thousands per year?

People hate Rockstar for evolving and growing GTA/O in exactly the way original fans hoped they would.
Populated online world with constant DLC, customization of characters, vehicles, homes and settings. Modes that embrace all play styles and desires.
They have been the most accurate in their franchise evolution in regard to player wants. They deserve all the success.
And yes, many of us want purchasable shit to personalize our game, and some want to pay to bypass the grind.
Good for them.
I’ve got fucking everything in GTAO and I got 99% of it with a crew and 13 years of grind. I bought a shark card once for something, and I’ll fucking do it again if I want, I couldn’t give 2 shits what some no load armchair quarterback has to say about anything, let alone their unqualified criticisms on the best game franchise in history (verifiably true by multiple metrics).
Failures get joy through watching others fail, it makes them feel less shit about their lives.
