Atleast they are not charging for it...All of their outfit and costume updates for GTA Online are free whereas Volition charges for everything. .
GTA Online is an MMO with Cash Card to sell. We've purchased the disc, they're selling In-Game Cash, and if we still have to pay for the f*cking update to expand their MMO, they can go f*ck themselves. Compare GTA Online to another MMORPG on PC. Those games update their assets regularly to keep the players occupied. They don't even ask you to buy their disc in order to play it. Not only MMO, free content updates also be done by F2P mobile games who sells in-game money.
There's no need to give extra credit on something they are supposed to do with that type of game. Say thanks only when they give you DLC as big as TLAD and TBOGT for free. Besides, they have the potential to get more income by selling limited-consumable-item feature (Money) than a one-time-purchase-consumable-item (DLC).
Regarding to SR DLC, I must agree they're fucking nuts. Although I buy bundle pack for both SR3 and SR4, I still check out the prices of each and they're sick. Hell, I don't even use those DLC costumes and cars from SR4 DLC, tbh. When there's SRV, I don't think I would buy the DLC unless I know it's worth the price.
This is our gaming era. Fanboyism attitude everywhere and are supporting their idolized companies blindly - actively and passively.. I have another favorite company and it's a pain to see them resorting to dlc-fest, re-releasist, and a fanservice developer..
Still, there are good things in Volition and Rockstar which can be taken as example to follow by one another. I don't want Rockstar be Volition and vice-versa. But if that's really happening, then I hope I can get off gaming from my hobby list.
