Taking the idea forward that Rockstar Games isn’t interested in adding single-player content to Grand Theft Auto 5, the company has now announced yet another update to its multiplayer component, GTA Online. The update is called Further Adventures in Finance and Felony and according to Rockstar Games, it promises to be one of GTA Online’s biggest and deepest updates yet. Rockstar certainly appears to be putting its money where its mouth is by allowing players to be the CEO of their own criminal enterprise. This also hints at what could possibly be an in-depth trading element to it as well.
The post on Rockstar’s website reads, Acquire a high-rise office and special warehouse properties to begin buying and selling a range of contraband across the city, all the while fighting the LSPD and the rest of the southern San Andreas criminal underworld for access to the rarest items and the biggest profits. The update is expected to be available from June 7. GTA developer Rockstar has recently been in the news for the wrong reasons. For instance, the most recently case was when erstwhile studio head Leslie Benzies sued the studio for $150 million over unpaid royalties.
According to the lawsuit, GTA series creators, Dan and Sam Houser tried to force Benzies out of the company and unjustly terminated $150 million in royalty payments based upon arbitrary actions by the company’s royalty Allocation Committee, a committee that may or may not have actually ever met. The lawsuit claims that Benzies also accused Sam Houser specifically of “mounting resentment” since Benzies received the same compensation from Take-Two as the Houser brothers.
