GTA+ means nothing to the angry fans of Grand Theft Auto!

The yet-to-release subscription service will cost $5.99 every month. It will offer the players a recurring monthly bank deposit of GTA$500,000. It implies that they will have a large amount of cash to spend in the virtual open-world of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Also, the members will be able to purchase Shark Cards, only accessible to them, with extra bonus cash.

Meanwhile, a widely followed industry insider named Ben on Twitter recently conducted a crucial poll on his account. The question for the poll was: Are you planning to subscribe to GTA+?

Simply put, Ben wanted to know whether or not the fans themselves are interested in the upcoming service. The end result of the poll revealed a total of 19,968 votes.

To his surprise, the majority of the fans expressed a complete disinterest in the GTA+ program revealed by Rockstar. In fact, 93 percent of the players were against the subscription service. Just six percent showed an interest in going for it upon its launch later this week.

Also, most of the fans voiced their opinions under Ben’s tweet as well, brutally criticizing Rockstar. “Rockstar f***ing vampires!!”, wrote an angry user.

The GTA+ service is about to be revealed globally on March 29, 2022. Once again, it will be available for the Grand Theft Auto Online players of PS5 and Xbox Series X and S only.
