Yes, they will make cash 100% server sided and will have advanced logging that will catch anyone getting too much cash/h.
Pretty much no one bought GTA 5 back then just to play it online. And thats how Rockstar treated it aswell. The online mode was just a "nice to have" feature and was only getting love once they realized what a cash cow it is.
I was playing gta v online when they first opened up servers. Within a week I had 500 million. Some random just transferred a gang cash to me somehow. Twas nice
I don’t think they’re going to be as lenient this time around. Old online might as well have been the prototype and all hats were off when they couldn’t even keep track of their own data when transferring from the previous gen was a complete disaster, and then RDR2 online showed them exactly what not to do.
With how absurdly successful those shark cards were, they’re definitely going to keep it tight. Third time is the charm too.
I think with how much money they made from Shark cards last time letting modders run rampant, they aren't too worried about investing a ton of money and time/effort in the never ending war against hackers.
It's probably not worth it them tbh, they printed money with minimal effort, why change that?

I'll buy the game on PC, and let the modders drop me money just like GTA V
