Rockstar Claims They Will Fix GTA Economy, But Can't Fix Modded Money
This hack was being perpetrated on modded consoles, and the money being brought into legitimate units, with the hackers going Robin Hood, spreading the money around everywhere.
The circumstances that led to this revelation are somewhat outstanding. Some fans put up a GTA Online stream a week ago, and were themselves the recipient of said money. They received a huge sum of money which in terms of microtransactions would have cost them a real life amount of $ 20,000. In this case, of course, they had to bring it up with Rockstar.
In Rockstar’s words, they are not able to remove the money from the player’s game. In case they get a ban or penalty, they should contact Rockstar again.
What makes this response extra shocking is that they made a public statement that indicated otherwise. On their official site, they claimed that they continued to balance the dynamic in-game economy and that they were working to adjust or close any exploits to get more cash. Rockstar also made it explicit that they were tracking down player data, as well as direct feedback, so that players can make sure everything in the game is done fairly and on the level.

BoBoJBoBo It worries me when they say "fix the economy" I wonder how it will affect online gameplay.
Too be honest, I don't see it affecting the gameplay too much. It may slow down people's access to certain things but it won't be that big of a change.
