They released tons of free content updates over the years. For me, it got stale pretty quickly because you needed increasingly huge piles of in-game money to participate in any of the new content and that means either grinding for hours or buying fake money with real money.
The single player and the world building were top notch though and it still doesn't feel like an old game after 10 years. It's crazy to think GTA 5 is now older than San Andreas was when 5 was released.

They made money hands over fist with microtransactions and the selling of fake money.

It's part of MMO game development to stop ingame inflation. But if you can sell some poor sods monopoly money: why stop inflation?

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
