The streamer emphasized that he wants players to approach his server with the seriousness of a job. "I'm going to make the server to where, if you make money in-game, you can cash out. I want people to be working and having an actual life in my server," Ross explained. He went on to describe potential money-making opportunities within the game, such as flipping houses and selling drugs, mirroring real-world economic activities in a virtual setting.
To further up the ante, Ross' server would implement a high-risk, high-reward system where player deaths could result in the loss of all accumulated assets. "If I come up to you in-game and kill you, you're losing everything," Ross stated, highlighting the intense and consequential nature of the proposed gameplay.
The streamer also plans to implement strict rules and limitations within the server. Acquiring weapons, for instance, would be a challenging task, adding another layer of complexity to the virtual economy. These measures aim to create a more realistic and immersive experience for players, further blurring the line between game and reality.
This isn't the first time Ross has mentioned his ambitious plans for when GTA 6 inevitably comes to PC. Earlier this month, Ross revealed that he, alongside FaZe Banks, will launch a cryptocurrency-based GTA 6 server.
However, Ross' plans, although interesting, comes with several caveats. For starters, can you imagine how much work it would take to make this happen? And, more importantly, would Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive even allow this server to exist?
The feasibility and legality of such a system is a major concern. It's in direct violation of Rockstar's terms of service, preventing it from ever coming to fruition. In the off-chance that Rockstar does change its mind, who's to say that they won't backtrack later on? Besides, we aren't even sure if GTA 6 is getting a PC release in the first place. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently hinted that it is in the pipeline and we know it's in development, but as former Microsoft and Activision Blizzard executive Mike Ybarra put it bluntly, Rockstar doesn't really answer to anyone.
The finances confirm the reality that a PC version doesn't do much for GTA 6, at least in its earlier years. Rockstar could easily keep GTA 6 exclusive to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, perhaps even waiting things out for the next generation of consoles before even releasing the game on the PC. In the interim, it could continue supporting Grand Theft Auto Online with content updates and feature upgrades, similar to what it's been doing for the past few years.
For now, fans and skeptics alike will have to wait and see how Ross's plans develop as more information about GTA 6 becomes available.
