GTA 5 Online Cheats for PS3 and Xbox: Rockstar Cracks Down on Online Gameplay Cheating
Grand Theft Auto Online, the online realm of Grand Theft Auto V, is all about stealing and robbing, but not from Rockstar Games. The game's creator recently discussed its crackdown on cheaters.
Rockstar Games will send those who one up other online players by manipulating bugs and tricks to get unearned piles of GTA$ to their cheater's pool. Gamers who are condemned to the cheater's pool will be stripped of their illegally obtained cash and put in time-out. Cheaters will not be allowed to play with most players for as long as months, according to The Independent.
"In response to certain exploits in the game, additional efforts are now in place to add players who clearly cheat to the cheater pool," a Rockstar Games representative said via the Rockstar Support page. "This should reduce the amount of reports on the forum of these exploits."
The move will put a damper on some cheater's parade, as players have accustomed millions, billions and even trillions through these sneaky methods.
Take for example, a player named epiicmoddingtobi. On Thursday, The Independent reported the player as having earned $1,109,674,917,679 worth of GTA$. Although he is not proven as a cheater, it seems unlikely the money was earned honestly. The player would require 887,739 Great White Shark cash cards, each worth $1,250,000 of in-game currency, in order to reach that wealth. Each card costs $22 real, United States dollars, meaning that this player must have spent $20 million real dollars in order to get that GTA$ trillion.
Pretty suspicious, epiicmoddingtobi.
"To keep the gameplay environment as fair as possible for legitimate players, we routinely do sweeps to separate out cheaters and modders, and to reverse any illegitimate transactions," the Rockstar Games representative continued. "These sweeps are based on in-game automated detection, examination of suspicious gameplay statistics, and also manually-reviewed evidence submitted by the Community. If you were not engaged in any willful cheating or exploiting yourself, you do not need to worry about getting caught up in our work to separate out cheaters from the rest of the population."
