In addition, Rockstar has promised some compensatory in-game money to soften the pain of the game’s online woes. Each player that has been using the game will get a total of $500,000 in in-game money, with the first half to be deposited shortly. Rockstar posted on the comments board of the story:
Hey guys, in regards to questions about the first deposit of GTA$. We’re aiming to make the first deposit of $250,000 in all players accounts early next week once we’ve confirmed that any remaining game progress issues have been fixed for the community in this latest title update. Thanks for understanding and stay tuned to the Newswire for more details.
