Same with GTA, people moan about shark cards but if you actually play the game then it's impossible not to make huge sums of money - sometimes I go.on to do some races, shoot up some gangsters or run some missions because that's why I got the game then I see I've got a couple of million so I buy a new jet or something.

There are people who only seem to play to tick off all the boxes and get the highest numbers, I even had someone tell me it's not worth doing certain races because they don't pay well - it's a game not a job!

But like you said, there are a lot of very rich people with this mentality and they'll use real money to buy a gold plated luxury jet which isn't even especially fun to fly and has no in game purpose simply because it's there - not to knock my friends who've brought it because it's fine to RP in and they like everyone else have stacks of cash because it's fun speedrunning cayo.
