New Stimulus Package Coming to GTA Online!

Rockstar today announced a stimulus package for GTA Online. Because of the rough start at launch, they’ve decided to make sizable donations to the criminals of Los Santos!

Anyone whose played (or will play) GTA Online this month will receive two deposits of GTA$ into their bank accounts. In order to keep the economy balanced, they will be depositing two $250,000 into said accounts on specific dates as soon as possible with the first one possibly hitting by the end of next week (after they’ve confirmed that the issues causing the loss of game progression has been solved of course).

Before any of the money is given, gamers will need to download a new update (1.04) that’s expected to fix lingering issues with the game. Rockstar will let everyone know via their blog, when the deposits will take place. Other than playing the game this month, there’s nothing else required of players to get the $500,000.

Sounds like a nice gesture to me. With most of the issues being patched away and the promise of free DLC content, things are starting to look up. That said, what I’m really waiting for are the heists. I bought a luxury condo just to be able to plan jobs and well…to show off my ten car garage. I’ll be posting my thoughts on GTA Online as things progress so be sure to check back here often. And stop trying to rob me online…it’s bad for your health!
