Ehhhh I guess, if your asking the kids that play online. Everyone I know and have seen really does not care about it. They jumped the shark with all the online bs.
people talk shit about bethesdas loading screen fetish but holy shit gta online is waiting simulator: the game
try to join a deathmatch, race or a heist and you will be loading and waiting in menus forever
I don't play, but that's probably caused by users with potato connections or extremely high ping being allowed to connect to the server. Pretty common problem with online games.
Iirc, there was a bug with the games loading config parser being written so horribly bad what should take a second took 5 minutes....

Oh wow, so it has literally nothing to do with connecting players to the server or with each other? That is wild they wouldn't have spent the time to fix it given all the money it makes, but hardly surprising.
