As much as it is a disappointment... makes sense.

Seraphim2911d ago

I find that a little far reaching. There is no money or tangible prize to be won in virtual gambling; this scenario. Granted there are Shark Cards but even so, if people use their money for in game currency to play casino games you're still removing a very core portion of the definition gambling, prize, winning additional money or tangible goods. The courts would find a hard time prosecuting Rockstar should one even attempt to in this scenario. When a game of chance is wagered on what makes it gambling is the fact you're placing that wager in hopes to win more money or a tangible good. No doubt some morons who maxed out credit cards or blew chunks of cash would possibly file suite but again, it would be incredibly difficult to prosecute or sure on the grounds of illegal gambling for the simple fact no money or tangible goods was to be won by playing said games in GTA

SavingPvt_Highon2911d ago

Exactly. Look at 4 Kings Casino on PC and PS4. It's a MMO casino game. Spending your hard earned cash to purchase virtual chips, no l lawsuits are turning up.

A casino was in San andreas so why would they not put it in online, sounds stupid to me. I havent played the online for months now, rockstar have made 500 million in cash cards and the most substantial update has been heists, they choose to put out crappy updates where items cost alot of ingame cash to boost there cash card sales. FUCK THIS GAME

DoctorFry2911d ago

People still talk about the casino? It's been three years guys, why it's still on anyone's mind is beyond me haha.

It won't happen as like the stock markets people find ways to abuse it and cheat there way to billions of dollars giving them an unfair advantage.

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno41d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist48d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist47d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
