GTA Online cheaters got their money removed!
Whenever a game goes online, there will be normal players, and there will be cheaters. Dealing with cheaters has been a big task for any game to make it enjoyable. Recently, GTA Online has done something very drastic!
GTA Online cheaters got their money removed!
Cheaters have always been a pain to deal with, to both normal gamers and game moderators. Making sure that cheating behaviors be appropriately punished and removed from the game is always a goal for any game, to make the playing experience truly enjoyable to all players. Recently, GTA Online has taken huge steps to deal with cheaters. To be precise, almost everything, including the in-game money, will be removed if you are caught cheating!
Recently, Rockstar has updated their policy on cheating behaviors. In the statement, they said that players who are identified as cheaters will receive a ban period with notice, and all their characters, inventory, and progress will be reset when the ban is over. This is a very heavy punch towards those players! Some of them has already experienced the consequences. Recently, a famous cheater has almost all of his money removed (more than $117,000,000,000!). Obviously, he was not very happy about it. Another player also lost $94 billion!
There are also some reported cases of money gained from exploiting glitches inside the game removed as well, although some players claimed that it was not the case. As for in-game cash purchased via Shark Cards, Rockstar has assured gamers that this kind of money will remain. Overall, the final deal is this: if you get caught cheating the first time, you will get banned for some time, and have everything reset. If you are caught the second time, then it’s permanent!
GTA Online: Drastic measures, hopeful future!
With this type of action, Rockstar’s message has been very clear: DO NOT CHEAT! Now it is nteresting to see if the players will still follow that rule or not. Hopefully with strong action like this, GTA Online will be more enjoyable to all gamers!
