    I don’t understand why people needed to give them constant money. For real, I played for a minute but never spent a dime. Why buy things when you can achieve them?

      To be honest I regret spending so much time earning money and buying so many cars. It would have been more fun riding around in a stolen piece of trash robbing liquor stores with a friend than grinding the bank heist over and over.

      Because it’s extremely annoying to earn enough money. Payouts are pathetic and things are extremely expensive to push you towards buying money. I didn’t spend any money on it thankfully, that’s just my reasoning behind it.

        People are really weird. Stuff like that makes me not play, but for most it makes them spend. I find those consumers bizarre as hell, but they are the mainstream consumer so we are the weird ones.

          This is definitely the way I feel. Even if I really want to do something, if I find out they’re doing this to squeeze me or they’re putting some wild shit in the privacy policy, I just don’t engage with their shit. Fuck those companies. I’m more angry with capitalism than I am susceptible to the desire they try to garner

        It was great the first couple years when people were just throwing piles of in game money around so everyone could play with all the flashy things. After they cinched up every money glitch and started pushing shark cards…online instantly lost any appeal. As you said, grinding for things in game is purposefully tedious and geared to make you spend more money.
