Rockstar have always acknowledged – and apologised for – the GTA Online technical issues, but know they’re showing it through a virtual gesture, offering players a stimulus package including 500,000 in GTA cash directly to all players’ bank accounts.
This might skew the game somewhat, and undermine the microtransactions, but it’s a decent way to apologise for the issues. They’re offering this as early as next week in two 250,000 deposits.
Before depositing this money, they’re going to make sure all progress issues are cleaned up, so that you don’t lose it. This will come in the form of a 1.04 title update, which will fix any other remaining issues too. You’ll need to have downloaded this title update and have attempted to play the game in order to receive the bonus.
If you want to get your hands on the cash and you haven’t played GTA Online yet then don’t worry, as you’ll have until the end of the month to play and receive this money.

Something free is good. They could have just brushed it off. It will buy you a house and a good car, but not much else. The rank you are determines what is unlocked. Lots of good guns dont unlock until rank 40+ one doesnt unlock until rank 90 so it wont give anybody an unfair advantage.

surely this is also making up for the fact that people have been abusing the retry glitch and raking in millions of in-game currency and levelling up stupidly quick. They need to balance that out.
I for one am glad that i’ll have 500k to play with as someone whose apartment and garage full of the best cars all bought by ‘dirty money(lol)’ :D

Nice one to the devs for the apology and keeping us all informed. They’ve managed it all very well in my opinion.

Where do you save/store boats and planes etc on MP? You don’t buy airstrips or launches like in SP?
