That would lose a ton of profits!
Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code

Couldn’t we avoid all this by giving players the option to host and moderate their own servers?

Tons of the problems of modern day matchmaking could be solved by this, but if players are running their own servers then they can just have their server give them the items they want, which means no more premium currency purchases for R$.

Things like FiveM exist, which is exactly that. I’m not sure if that is at all affected by the anticheat though, I didn’t read the article.

I sure hope not cause GTA Online is trash if you want to do anything other than Free Mode. I got so sick and tired of all the loading screens, disconnects, and empty lobbies. Even when they apparently “fixed” the loading issue, all it did was speed up the connection Free Mode. Hosting/joining a mission still takes ages and nobody ever joins any of my games so I gave up and went to FiveM full-time. If that gets shut down by anti-cheat then I’m going back to GTA IV. Cops N’ Crooks is more fun than anything GTA Online has to offer, anyway.
