Grand Theft Auto is the sort of game that never fails to entertain its fans. Rockstar Games have always tried to make a certain statement in their games over the years. Making protagonists that are based on criminal backdrops, and trying to move up the ladder is a Rockstar signature. This signature can be seen in many of their DLCs also.

Recently, GTA online announced a DLC for their fans by sharing a trailer on their website. The DLC is called Criminal Enterprises and is inspired by real-life global crises. Although, after the announcement the fandom is divided into two sects and the crisis for Rockstar seems real now.
The Southern San Andreas economy is in crisis. Gas prices have spiked to their highest levels in decades, supply chains are in turmoil, and a ferocious heatwave is gripping the state.

Although, fans are upset about the unnecessary update because they expected more from the summer release, instead got the Criminal Enterprises DLC. This is more hurtful for the fans as the new GTA 6 rumor had made a huge hype and getting another DLC instead of an official announcement didn’t feel right at this point.
WE WANT GTA 6 NOW!

At this point why couldn’t they even just do a quality of life update for Red Dead Online? GTA6 development is just an excuse for their laziness. Enjoy your update folks https://t.co/cs16Q6LIsE
