How Rockstar manages online play

[Antonia]

I found a very interesting video about the online part of Rockstar's games. We all should share this i think. Cheers.

I had a general idea of how this worked but I had no idea that people could manipulate the servers this badly. Sounds like they are taking the cheaper route and letting the players pay the cost.

This first comment sums it up lol

That was 99% of GTAO for many years. 😂 many people wanted bikers update back in 2014 and it didn’t Come out until two years later.

Rockstar is horrible with timing and managing online servers. I mean their first big step to online gaming was GTA V. I don't really count RDR and GTA IV. We will likely see the stuff we want in the game in another 2 years like mentioned above or maybe the next game. Who knows.

I skimmed the video the other day when I seen it posted, wasn't signed in at the time. I feel like this is something some people care about but most players don't. They just want a game to run smoothly without issues and care little about security. I guess it depends on who you ask. But yes, Rockstar needs to sort themselves out already.

Yeah I can see this. I mean plenty of people feel safe enough with trusting big name companies while I know others won't even use windows anymore and opt for Linux for privacy reasons. Same people won't even game on consoles anymore.

I never understood the need for that mushc privacy unless you were someone who was famous, had a lot of money, or you are doing some stuff that just isn't legal.
