As their way of saying “Oops, my fault,” Rockstar Games are planning to deposit a total of $500,000 in beleaguered players’ virtual bank accounts. Coming after a brutal two weeks of lost characters, wiped progress, missing limbs and failed connections the makers of the record-setting Grand Theft Auto V are going to make amends with players who feel wronged by GTA Online’s shaky launch.
Delivered in two deposits of $250,000, the compensation will be made available to anyone who has played the game throughout the month of October. The first hefty sum should arrive in your in-game bank account sometime next week after the next patch launches. That patch should alleviate the issue of lost characters and vehicles, according to Rockstar.
The free in-game money isn’t much, but it’s certainly always nice when big developers decide to make amends like this. So download that new patch when it’ releases in the coming week and enjoy your fat stacks yo!
