Grand Theft Auto V’s single-player campaign was terrific, but the technical issues surrounding the GTA Online multiplayer mode have left many players unable to enjoy the experience. To make up for it, developer Rockstar Games is offering a stimulus package — anyone who played GTA Online during October will be getting $500,000 in in-game cash. The money will be made available in two installments — “In order to keep the current worldwide in-game economy balanced,” according to Rockstar — with specific dates to be announced later on.
