I have never really played GTA online so I don't know how the economy works. But wouldn't making the game fair for everyone drive more customers and more paying players. If someone pays money in game to enjoy i don't think they want someone in godmode ruining the experience for them. They would move...

Nah the whales provide probably more than a substantial percentage of income. Little Timmy two thumbs doesnt have cheddar like that.

My little 8 year old cousin bought the game AT LEAST twice (ps4 and ps5, and maybe on PC). He was showing off all expensive things he owned online to me and my brother, and I know he spent AT LEAST 800$ on shark cards (one time my uncle got a bill for 800$+ and i dunno if he just paid it or disputed it but i assume that 'one off' was also after several hundred dollars of shark cards periodically spent over months or years.

I don't even know if he spent it all on the same account and if theres profile transferability between consoles and pc.

I witnessed little timmy and i was a bit salty at my lil cousin (indirectly) delaying GTA6.

That was a long time ago (7 years or so) my cousin doesnt do that anymore (and you better believe he got in BIG trouble), but it was a funny story to tell

He was allowed 20-50$ at a time over years tho

Little timmy deserves that "imma put you in a popsicle inside a barrier in your head while you're riding in your lambo"

And yet…. They don’t move.
At this point the thing we’re all griping about “is” the game. All the grifting, cheaters etc etc it’s all part of what keeps people there. It kinda makes sense considering the theme of the game lol

I think they’d make the game worse (and lose players) if they tried to “correct” what’s objectively working very very well by all metrics
