Today Rockstar Games has announced via its News Wire that it will be giving players of Grand Tgeft Auto Online a half a million of in-game money as part of the GTA$ Stimulus Package.
The reason for this 2 part payment of 250,000 Dollars are the technical issues,character loss and other troubles that have plagued the service since release.
In order to keep the current worldwide in-game economy balanced, we will be providing this GTA$ to players via two deposits of $250,000. We will announce specific dates as soon as possible, but are currently hoping to be able to make the first deposit by the end of next week (after we’ve confirmed that issues causing game progress loss have been fixed) with the second installment to happen by the end of the month. For players who experienced cloud server errors, connection issues, and lost game progress and characters in these first days of GTA Online, we hope this GTA$ helps to facilitate a fresh start or makes your continued life in Los Santos and Blaine County extra sweet.
In order to get the 500,000 bucks, all players will need to do is download the 1.04 title update which should hit ‘next week’ and have played GTA Online in the month of October.
500K should go a long way and help us all buy the car or apartment we want. What will you buy with this cash and does it help ease the pain of losing a character? It certainly is a nice gesture.
