its biggest revenue streams come from the US, the UK, Germany, Australia, France, Canada, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain, in that order. per capita, the userbase/spending champion is australia.

this data comes from a third-party firm that got hacked, and not from rockstar games themselves.

I played it for a bit. I’ve told this story. I got h4xed and was given a dunce cap. But later I learned it may have been bc you “aren’t supposed” to Kill other players in free roam. Weird game. And the average iq is like 82 so they can’t beat the heists with you.

killing other players is fine, but you specifically get penalized for destroying their personal vehicles.

the resurrection mechanic is immediate for dead players (unless you're in a game mode where you die until the end of a match or stage), but vehicles have to be manually restored by using the in-game cellphone to call the insurance company.

i think the original justification was to prevent players from using their own vehicles as bombs or weapons (for example, by attaching sticky bombs to them) and simply spawning them in over and over again with no delay or financial penalty. so the fictional 'Mohrs Mutual Insurance' was added to the game, which means you have both a financial penalty and a cooldown period to replace a personal vehicle.

one of the in-game BMX bicycle models had broken physics on release. with practice, players could ride it off of certain angled surfaces and tilt it on its side in such a way that it could glide extremely long distances.

this was patched, but the game's BMX bikers complained, so the developers repealed the patch. the BMX bike is actually the quickest way to finish some of the game's weekly 'time trials,' though not many people use it for that purpose, since it does take some effort to learn how to use the glitch without immediately crashing.

GTAO, structurally, is a bundle of hundreds of different mini-games and missions crammed together into a common framework. this leads to a lot of bizarre incidents. for example, earlier this year, the game added a new type of properties (mansions) for players to purchase.

the mansions themselves were added to areas of the game map which had previously been unoccupied. however, different areas of the map have different spawn points for the in-game animals. in this case, one of the mansions was placed on top of a spawning area for rabbits.

the spawn was not removed, which meant that the rabbits spawned in, the game's hit detection killed the rabbits (because a mansion was sitting on top of them), and played the rabbit death sound effect, which is a high-pitched squealing noise.

then the respawn timer would kick in, and the rabbits would spawn again in a few seconds, repeating the cycle. this meant that players visiting their mansions would be greeted by the sound of a bunch of rabbits being killed over and over again.

this was not patched for a few weeks.

I wonder if they have another Overwatch situation on their hands where poor browns can't afford to buy the sequel and don't play the Online. Shit they are RAISING prices of six year old consoles now.
