What about cheaters? Rockstar zeroed out the accounts of players in GTA Online who earned money dishonestly
Recently Rockstar Games took drastic measures in relation to unscrupulous players in GTA Online. The studio zeroed out the progress of accounts whose owners were using the vulnerability with the apartments. The error allowed, through a few simple operations, to quickly accumulate millions of in-game dollars. Apparently, the developers did not like this much.
The mentioned vulnerability appeared after the release of the large-scale summer update Los Santos Summer Special. Lots of players have not shied away from loopholes in recent weeks until Rockstar began to take action. On Twitter and on Reddit, users began to complain en masse about zeroing the progress of their accounts. The majority of fans did not like this approach of the developers. According to gamers, the punishment is too harsh, especially taking into account cheaters using third-party software – a more significant problem for GTA Online. These attackers regularly spoil the entertainment of other users. For example, turning innocent characters into a large ball.
Many players rightly argue that Rockstar Games is in no hurry to fight cheaters. Others, meanwhile, talk about how the rapid cash-flow vulnerability allowed them to really have fun in GTA Online. In this thread on the Reddit forum, people said that they were able to get the required amount and stop doing routine activities in order to raise funds. Previously, they said, playing felt like “part-time work”.
