Make the modders - the very same people that are DIRECTLY responsible for making people like me want to purchase the game a second time (this time for PC for the mods) - waste tons of time and energy just so you can toss it in the bin because it hurt your feelings.

I really wanted to like the online component, but it just fell flat for me. Always issues joining a full lobby, driving around the city felt empty, and I’d spend more time in queues than I did anything else. I could see the fun in a mode like this, but it feels like R* did it all wrong.

Does Rockstar even play their own games? Do they even communicate with their playerbase?

Rockstar can make money from people buying in game money for GTA online. A mod that lets people play online, away from GTA online, could be seen as Rockstar losing money. Not hard to see why they would be against that.

They were very specific in allowing us to screw with single player. These idiots are messing with multiplayer and deserve what they get. Making your own online is taking people away from rockstars. End of story.
