GTA 5 Online Cheaters

[Bazarov]

Hello! The number of players using cheats in GTA V Online has increased a lot. I think ROCKSTAR GAMES should hire an anti-cheat company if they can. While we are going sweetly in a normal way, suddenly a b0mb starts to fall on our heads. on the one hand, we spawn somewhere. As players, we demand a solution to this <3

True. You can still play in private cessions for avoiding that. It's what I do. Public became mostly unplayable.

It's been a plague since 10 years ago, the online popularity was unexpected and the game foundation weren't built for online multiplayer. Worst case, part of source code was leaked back in Dec 2023.

Rockstar actually did put an anticheat, but removed it entirely cuz the modders 1000 steps ahead of R* modifying the game engine.

Also didn't help when Epic featured the game as one of their giveaways one year. No telling how many hundreds of thousands of keys are out there between users and grey market sellers.

It'll never happen. Rockstar adding private / closed sessions is Rockstar's solution to the cheating problem in public sessions. All they did was side step the issue. Don't expect the cheating problem to be addressed. All Rockstar did is shew us into private sessions and divide the community.

Also when it comes down to it, their product isn't really safe to play online. Two serious RCE exploits in under two years. Best thing you could ever do is drop this game, walk away from it and never look back at Rockstar games again.

Yet many who don't, continue to play it because they figure, "Ah, who even cares? Like it'll never happen to me." and when it happens, oh then, then they suddenly really, really care.

Why this community hasn't collectively slapped Rockstar with a lawsuit is mind boggling.

They intentionally left the game completely open to cheaters. Believe it or not, giving cheaters free roam is the best way to maximize their profits.

For one thing, when cheaters drop money on people, it lets them buy something, which acts like a reward, then they want more so they buy a shark card (just like a drug dealer giving free drugs to get people hooked and buying more - This is also why Rockstar randomly gives people free in-game currency)

There's also a certain percentage of cheaters who are dumb and buy a new copy of the game when they get banned. (and they only get banned by using a cheat they buy - likely sold by the developers themselves) - This serves the added bonus of keeping sales of the game artificially high year after year. Any time they need more sales they just toss out a ban wave. (This also convinces other idiots that the devs are trying to combat cheating, thus they are more likely to buy shark cards)

Being cheater friendly with the illusion of anti-cheat lets them reach a larger potential market as they cater to both the cheater and the honest player at the same time. They also know the cheaters are never going to put more money into the game via shark cards, and if they were actually banned they become less likely to purchase the next game.
