Controversial decision: ‘GTA Online’ fans criticize the removal of 189 cars from the game

“GTA Online” fans are disappointed with the latest update, titled “San Andreas Mercenaries,” which resulted in the removal of 189 vehicles from the game. The developer’s decision sparked an outcry among fans, who viewed the mass removal of cars as a devastating blow.

‘GTA Online’ fans outraged over 189 cars recall

According to Rockstar, the removal was made in order to simplify the game’s purchasing experience, with the vehicles removed being the “least used” ones. On the other hand, fans argue that the number of cars removed is too high.

Additionally, the company has commented that the cars will “occasionally be made available in other ways.” Given this, many people are speculating that some of the options that were free will now become exclusive to the paid GTA+ service.

Even though the list of removed vehicles has not been released by Rockstar, game users on the social network Reddit have already compiled the names of the cars removed from the game. Check it out:

So far, Rockstar has not commented on the negative comments that are circulating around the internet. However, players are expressing their frustration on social media and forums, expressing their dissatisfaction with the decrease in the variety of cars available for use in GTA Online.

Among the criticisms, the lack of transparency stands out, as there was no disclosure regarding the complete list of cars that were removed in the new update. For this reason, members of the fan community are already organizing and sharing information so that everyone is aware of the losses.

Even though the new update has brought new content to the game, such as new missions and challenges, the mass removal of cars is the central point of user discontent.

At this point, we can only wait for the company’s response to the criticism and what alternatives Rockstar will use to alleviate customer dissatisfaction. For those interested in playing, “GTA Online” is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and PC.
