@GTAVI_Countdown I don't understand the nerf to heists.... If you wanted to seriously grind and unlock everything it would cost you over $1,000,000,000... It costs roughly $120,000,000+ for all clothing and another $700 Million for vehicles! If anything everything should've gotten a 10% buff IMO!
The new GTA Online heist only pays $2 million when you do it for the first time every week (it costs $16.2 million to initiate for a Mansion + Art Studio).
If you do it again in the same week, it will only pay $400K on hard mode and will cost a $100K setup fee.
Rockstar has also nerfed multiple heists today:
- Cayo Perico:
Pink Diamond: 1.3M → 910K
Bearer Bonds: 770K → 616K
Pearl Necklace: 700K → 560K
Tequila: 630K → 400K
- Diamond Casino:
Diamond: 3.3M → 2.3M
Gold: 2.6M → 1.8M
Art: 2.3M → 1.6M
Cash: 2.1M → 1.4M
- Doomsdays:
Act 1: 975K → 585K
Act 2: 1.4M → 855K
Act 3: 1.8M → 1M
- The Contract: 1M → 900K
- Cluckin Bell: 500K → 400K
There’s a new system that gives a bonus for doing select heists for the first time each week, which is still less than what they originally paid before the nerf.
SONY CAN DELETE EVERYTHING YOU BOUGHT
after the disc announcement, players did something sony probably never expected: they started reading the terms of service. line by line. here's what's in there:
- moving to another country? sony is the only major platform that does not allow you to change your account region. the official suggestion: create a new account. everything you ever bought stays locked to the old one
- go inactive for 36 months, and sony may move to close your account. you get one email and six months to respond. after that, in the document's own words: "account closure is irreversible." the library goes with it (uk terms, sections 21.1–21.3, updated this april)
- the terms also warn sony can suspend or terminate your account over inaccurate information. your old address after a move counts as inaccurate
none of this is theory. the same ecosystem deletes 551 purchased movies from european libraries this september, and the closing ps3/vita stores promise your content stays downloadable "for the foreseeable future" - four words carrying thousands of libraries.
a disc never asked if your account was still active. the all-digital collection comes with a landlord. and you signed the lease years ago.
This is why PC emulation rules 🔥
inFAMOUS at 4K and 60 FPS on RPCS3 looks and plays better than it ever did on the original PS3.
Emulation is the ultimate form of game preservation.
Analyst Ben Thompson said that Rockstar should be charging $200 for GTA 6, arguing that the game is the work of a decade of human "blood, sweat and tears" and completed largely before the widespread proliferation of AI game development tools. bit.ly/44NJzOl

@jchip@PlayStation (1) That data is 3 years old. Stats can change quickly. (2) There are only 12 games there. There are easily 1,000+ games on the PS5. 12 is not enough to be statistically meaningful. If you want to understand the full picture, you need data on every game, not a cherry-picked 12.
