Am I completely unable to make a public lobby? I go to join prospect and there's absolutely nothing posted. I go to new prospect and host one but my only options are either "friends only" or "private". Is there seriously no way to make public games here?

Currently, no. It’s something we are investigating but we want to get a good system going for matchmaking so the experience isn’t ruined. We are getting great data to help with that

I’m actually curious how you’d even have public matchmaking based on the “rewards are given when everyone has left.” Hypothetically if you had a public session, and a person joined and just never came back, you’d have to wait until the timer ended? Enjoying the game though!

We have discussed changing how some of the reward stuff works anyway. But GTA online has a good framework approach anyway. I’ve done many heists with Randoms so it offers as good a blueprint as any to start.
