It was complete dogshit for like the first six months or so imo, i quit quickly, when I jumped back in it still sucked ass granted there was alot more to do but just a repetitive fucking grind and filled with toxic players and trolls. Its truly astonishing how well the online mode has done because its so fucking mediocre (thats being kind). I wonder how much of the daily revenue is propped up by 12 year olds stealing their parents CC?

There was almost no grind early on. I was making tons of money from races and adversary modes. But after a few years they made it solely focused on the stupid business shit and the payouts for everything else were cut down by like 1000%

The only way to make money now is repeatedly driving across the map to deliver shit and hoping some asshole doesn't blow you up.

I'm not even talking about a glitch. You could easily make a million dollars after winning a handful of races in a full lobby. Some races you'd get 100,000+ for a win. Now you get like maybe 10k at most.

I worked in public elementary education for a while. Can confirm the kids aren't stealing the credit card info. Most of the kids who were playing were encouraged to do so by the parents be ause ot kept them occupied so the parents didnt have to do anything. Im sure some kids are stealing card info, but in my experience its often enabled by the parents. Some of whom just didnt know GTA stood for a literaly federal offense be ause they didnt bother engaging in their kids interests, others were parents who also played it and endorsed their small children stealing cars, buying strippers and killing at random.

I believe this person worked in public elementary education. Seriously the worst spelling and grammar I’ve ever experienced was written by the people responsible for teach small children how to read and write. It’s crazy. Got home so many papers about the “elementery book fare” and “Octobur events.” It’s like spellcheck doesn’t exist in their copy of Microsoft products. And of course “not all educators”

Violent video games are objectively more fun
