The game and its economy have been designed and balanced for the vast majority of players who will not buy extra cash. There is no in-game paywall and nothing that should disrupt the balance of the game. You don't have to spend real money to attain the cars, guns, clothes, flash and style of a high-roller in Los Santos, but can if you wish to get them a little quicker. The economy is balanced differently from the single-player economy, and cash earned in one cannot be taken over to the other. Most players will earn cash much faster online than in story mode.

Just the same as most games now tbh, personally dont have a problem with it. If people wanna take the fast route and spend their own money on something then why not?

I'd happily buy extra missions and the like. But paying a few pound for some different clothes for my character? F*ck that

I'd bet money they're not releasing DLC until they port over to next gen, so they can double dip for the profits from people already hooked

Never thought of that. You didnt need a disc for the gta 4 DLC so it is feasible.

Nope! Won't be buying fake money with real money LOL. I'm loving this game WAY too much to take shortcuts. I can understand why people would want to do that though because GTA takes a large investment of your time.

Its the same way in league of legends.
If you wanna level faster you spend real money to buy an xp boost to get the max level faster. The thing is, you can usually tell these players from the ones who spent the time and effort to get all the way to level 30.
Some people will pay for bigger guns and houses but at the end of the day they will suck balls compared to someone experienced in going stealth and not just firing 30 rockets from his launcher he bought for real money
