Many gamers are, unsurprisingly, disappointed with GTA Online’s GTA Plus

Rockstar Games' latest GTA Plus will inevitably be a success, but that hasn't stopped some GTA Online fans from being disappointed with it. One of the main reasons is that it's yet another microtransaction introduced into the game (nearly a decade after the game was launched). It only costs $5.99 a month, but some players are bound to dislike it.

Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms around, especially since it's easy to see people talking about the new service there. Gamers tend to be more vocal about things they dislike, so there is no shortage of complaints about GTA Plus (or GTA Online in general).

GTA Online's GTA Plus subscription is unpopular among a sizable section of the fanbase

Some fans have tried guilt-tripping others not to buy the new service. If the new subscription is successful, these types of gamers will likely dislike Rockstar's future business model even more than they do now.

However, one must wonder if GTA Online is genuinely at the end of its lifecycle. If that's the case, then GTA Plus could have some potential in extending it.

Many gamers have grown up living the Grand Theft Auto series and several of Rockstar's other projects. Naturally, a good number of them dislike Rockstar's latest business models. The above tweet is a good example of a devoted fan who is disappointed with the new service.

The most popular tweets regarding GTA Plus are often negative in nature. Not only that, but many of the lesser-liked tweets highlight various reasons why some gamers don't like it. The last tweet, in particular, is very interesting.

It features a popular Reddit post from the GTA Online subreddit, which is currently at 33.1K upvotes with over 2,200 comments.

The service's unpopularity online isn't just related to criticism or disappointment. Several tweets received hundreds of likes for merely telling others not to buy this subscription. It's easy to interpret why a person says that, especially since most Twitter users have been slamming GTA Plus.

One reason fans want other players not to purchase this subscription is that if it's successful, it could lead to more microtransactions. Similarly, some gamers have expressed their concerns that it will only prolong GTA Online's life longer.

That wouldn't be a problem for fans of the game, but there have been some fan theories in the past that its success has delayed GTA 6.

A few fans also like to think back to the earlier days when GTA 5 first came out. GTA Online's balance wasn't as chaotic as it is now, and there was no such thing as GTA Plus. Of course, it is worth noting that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of GTA Online are offline now.

Still, many gamers have continued to become disillusioned with how the series has progressed in recent years. Some people found it funny when Rockstar Games parodied greed and laziness in other video game developers.

Funnily enough, fans see that Rockstar Games has become no better.
