I gave up on playing GTA:O because everything took so long to load, having never spent a dime. I have to imagine there is so much lost revenue because of this bug; I hate to be harsh but it is truly an embarrassment that someone external to R* debugged and fixed this before they did (given they had 6 years!).

Load times is absolutely the primary reason I quit playing.

I can stomach a long load time (but that's not to excuse how godawful this load time is), just as long as it's worth it. I need some kind of resolution/ultimate goal, but in GTA:O there really isn't one; it's just grind-grind-grind so that you can get yet another car, or another house, or another thing that you already have plenty of. Lather, rinse, repeat in perpetuity.

I just felt like every time I logged in I went, "So what's the point here?".
