That makes me mad (for about 5 seconds and one internet post, don't make a big deal out of my being "mad" please), because GTAV:O has F2P-level pricing. It's 100 fucking dollars for only 8 million in game monies. That's enough for like 8 cheaper planes, and still not enough to buy a golden jet (10 mil). If anyone thinks that's reasonable value, I say your sense of value is distorted to the point of being non-functioning. F2P, and micro-transactions are so overly inflated in price and (some) people just accept it. It's very depressing and I hope it doesn't infect too much more of the industry.
You can ultimately ignore this stuff so far, but it's still disheartening. And the grind is very real if you can't resist wanting nice stuff in GTA V. The half a million, or however much, I received for pre-ordering the game was a nice buffer against the BS in online mode. At least I could grab a few things without having to grind for untold hours. I also wish things besides heists made you passable amounts of money.
Also, online heists were a hell of a good time, but I laughed seeing their prices every time buying online money entered my mind. I would gladly pay them more money for a Heist pack, with new heists, but not for a few extra cars etc.
