"Due to the immense and unprecedented success of GTA Online all forthcoming titles have been postponed indefinitely while we brief our marketing team on the best possible way to implement shark cards into every facet of the online gaming community while removing legitimately earned money from players and retroactively slashing job payouts to make the game 'more competitive'. Fuck you for your time and money - R* Games."

I'm thinking about a "it's definitely delayed again " news post or just shove out a bunch of tweets explaining the reasons. Basically: newer LAN coming this fall we're well beyond Rockstar's normal 6 month marketing scheme if they want to release this year derp already spring 2018 but that might turn into summer anyway... ... I had another reason but forget at the moment...

they're still trying to figure out what the gold pieces you earn from online missions break down to when you go to buy stuff in shops... you have to ride to the national bank, convert the gold into coins and paper, then pay the bank a hefty tax for converting it... then use that money for buying goods and clothes... but since each town has it's own set of currency, you have to convert your newly owned coins for currency that the town reflects, so you go to their local bank and convert the national money, for another hefty tax of course... then by the time you sit down at the tavern, your 10 ounces of gold buys you a warm, watered down ale... my sources also tell me that you can't grind gang hideouts anymore... every time you play them, the payout cuts in half until you can only earn a fraction of a gold piece... they're also working on a sort of survival mode where you have to eat and drink water to live... but there's no animals online so you have to go to a store to buy food... and the water isn't clean, you have to buy fresh water from a local town well... if you thought you could boil water to detoxify it, you're wrong, apparently your character was traumatized when he was younger by seeing his favorite birdie fly into a forest fire, and now has a fear of fire... so no campsites for you... when you ride into a town, you'll have to dock your horse at the stables, for a modest price of course... if you want to ride a horse around town, you can rent one at the local livery, for a modest fee of course... and like any parking meter or owning property in GTAO, you pay the handler of that horse a fee every hour you use it... plan on walking instead? sorry, but there's a walking tax in towns... gotta pay for the sidewalks somehow... wanna make some quick cash playing poker? well, there's a $500 buy in fee, in which if you manage to play thru the 5 hours without getting dropped or losing your money, you can make out with $645... it might of said $750 when you won, but you also have to pay the dealer for his time... be careful buying drinks while gambling, that's where they get you with the marked up watered town piss they call beer... --- these are just a few of the things i've heard they're working on at the moment for online... so i guess we can expect another delay... but i don't mind, i want the game to be a finished product... i want to feel ripped off at every turn, otherwise it just wouldn't feel like a rockstar game... take your time, make it right... --- --- on a lighter note, what fitty said... they are well past their marketing window for information regarding a game coming out in spring... hence the LA noire debacle, a scheme to keep their fanboys distracted with updates and information for that, while they drop the bomb of yet another delay in the midst of a huge LAN PR roll out... also, $10 says the new cards will be called bull cards... which is funny since the wild west didn't have credit cards...

Honestly, I don't care if it's legalised in Australia. As gtagrl said government fucks everything up. I just don't wanna be arrested for smoking it. Is that too much to ask?

Maybe they'll call them pelts or something... Bear pelt, Cougar pelt, etc. Or define that "card's" worth by amount of pelts. So you get 20 bear pelts or 50 bear pelts, etc. Something like that.

Or bullion.

The actual game is finished, they're just working diligently to remove mission payouts and replace them with prompts to buy in-game currency for story mode. You'll need it to buy the tier 2 currency prompts, which allow you to buy the special currency needed to unlock online mode and its third currency type.
