GTA Online Cheaters Penalized By Rockstar, Left To Start Game All Over Again
Rockstar recently made some players of GTA online mode really unhappy by handing out strict punishment to cheaters who thought they were clever and exploited a glitch in GTA Online, and obviously got what they deserved.
The famous glitch which earns you a lot of money is the “apartment garage glitch.” After going through a pre-defined set of menu options after buying the properties, The players were able to mess with the game and get huge amounts of money by selling the properties way more expensive than they actually bought it.
At the end of August, a lot of accounts that exploited the glitch got reset by Rockstar. The reset caused the selected players to lose literally everything, from their money to all of their vehicles they owned and the levels they achieved, But they were not banned.
It was just a way to punish people who cheated by taking everything away especially their time investment in the game.
Some people are making an argument that it’s totally unfair to render punishment to players for exploiting an in-game glitch because all of the things taken away i.e. Money and Cars etc can be bought for real-world money.
There have been all kinds of responses to Rockstar’s actions. players are sharing All kinds of opinions on Twitter. Some said that players who exploited the glitch should’ve seen this reaction coming.
