      Honestly it can be fun? For a few weeks at a time before I get bored and go do something else.

      I will admit though GTAO is the only online game I’ve ever downloaded a mod menu for. I never touched the god mode or teleportation or any other parts of it. Just the money generation because fuck every single thing about the grind in that game that is designed to push you towards shark cards.

      When you can buy whatever you want and the missions are purely for fun? Honestly yeah. I enjoy it. Last time I played, even though it wasn’t current, I mostly played with the nightclub.

        Agreed, I dumped a lot of hours in that game’s grind and it’s marginally worth it at best. They seem to have loosened up the payouts lately (been playing on and off for the past year), but the real fun (VTOL jets, railgun tanks, subs, orbital lasers, etc.) is locked behind millions of funbucks, which are immensely difficult to accrue. Plus it’s infested with modders and cheaters at this point, so not using mod menus is relatively synonymous to shooting yourself in the foot before running a marathon…

    Several years ago I got an email about my rockstar account - someone had guessed the password and logged in, they were trying to change the email address. Luckily I’d managed to stop it in time and recovered the account.

    Several years later, I decided to give GTA Online a go, I logged in and found I had billions in cash and loads of property and cars. I guess that they must have been nodding while using my account.

    But I didn’t get banned so free stuff I guess?

      Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren’t implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.

      These days you’re still free to ruin everyone’s day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.

        Depends how you’re spawning cash. If it’s injected to be a payout from the mission, Rockstar won’t notice most likely

    I for one applaud Rockstar for going open source. So progressive and insightful of them.

    You can already get doxxed and perma griefed by any 12 y/o with a $20 mod menu I don’t see how it could get any worse

        I just got fucked over repeatedly when I was trying to make money by people flying around with those rocket bikes. I spent like 12 hours total trying to play online and got nowhere. That was starting with a free business I had gotten somehow. Fuck GTAO.
