Recently some gamers playing GTA Online were treated by hackers when they received large sums of cash after killing people that had a bounty on them. This is something that hit the gaming headlines and finally Rockstar has responded.
Anyone caught cheating in GTA Online will receive an automatic ban. Those who found large sums of money deposited to their bank account have been left fearing what would happen to them. This came following reports that Rockstar had set up a cheaters lobby which will hold anyone found cheating in the game along with those who received cash, while an investigation by Rockstar takes place.
There hasn’t been any indication as to how long gamers will be kept in the lobby but one user said that players can be detained there for as long as 9 months. Another user who found themselves in the lobby said that the timer has a glitch so it appears that you are there forever.
The cheating lobby is a great move by Rockstar to stamp out cheating in the game, but it seems that some gamers are victims to the hackers. These gamers did not ask for money and have been quarantined. Perhaps if Rockstar had introduced heists into the game players would not have to grind and cheat to make money.
