With today's new update to GTA:Online, "San Andreas Mercenaries," Rockstar games has removed 195 vehicles from purchase from the in-game store. Per the Rockstar Newswire 5 days ago, they announced that "Lesser-used vehicles will be removed from in-game websites to streamline the browsing experience. These vehicles will be made available via events showrooms, The Lucky Wheel, and other places."

The vast majority of these vehicles are not simply less-common or spawn-on-the-street vehicles. Some, like the Stirling GT, are among the most competitive vehicles in their specific classes. And in that particular case, the Stirling GT is still available for purchase—for GTA+ members only at the new "Vinewood Car Club," a location where 10 vehicles will be shuffled around every week for test driving/purchasing.

It's a fairly baffling example of attempting to introduce FOMO into a decade-old game at this point, and the community is rightfully pretty pissed.

If it really was about "streamlining" the experience, many have pointed out that they simply could have added a filter function to the in-game sites for particular classes, or even an option to sort alphabetically. Instead, it looks like this is the general direction they'll be taking with GTA:VI as well.
