How I cut GTA Online loading times by 70%

The insane loading times are literally the exact reason I haven’t played in years. Every time I played I just ended up frustrated and got distracted doing something else while waiting, so I just quit playing altogether. I don’t know how people stand the loading times.

Maybe the load times inadvertently work like the intentional spelling mistakes in a Nigerian scammer's email.

It's bait for the non-discerning customer who is more likely to empty their wallet for microtransactions because they have less experience with games so don't know what is normal :)

The fact that this scenario is not immediately ludicrous to me is saddening.

Microtransaction heavy games are primarily funded by whales who spend thousands on a game. If you even make one of them leave that's a net loss.

Totally agree, I loved the story mode and never got into online due to the amount of time spent loading and finding interesting stuff to do.
