GTA Online players blast Rockstar for random \u201c3-year\u201d bonus punishments Rockstar GamesGTA Online players have hit out at Rockstar Games after one fan got a \u201c3 year\u201d Bad Sport punishment and had their appeal rejected, despite not doing anything themselves. If you\u2019ve played GTA Online at any point over the last decade you\u2019ll know that there are plenty of different playstyles in the game. You\u2019ve got grinders who try to make money, trolls who try to ruin the experience, bystanders who just want to have fun, and a few others. Over the years, Rockstar has made it easier for players to avoid those playstyles that don\u2019t match their own \u2013 be it because they don\u2019t want any disruption or they just want a whole lobby of players working on one goal. Well, that\u2019s all fine and dandy, but if you throw hackers into the mix \u2013 yes, hackers still exist in GTA Online \u2013 problems will arise. GTA Online players hit with 3-year punishment because of hackers It\u2019s something GTA Online fans have been complaining about recently, as hackers on PC have been getting players hit with 3-year-long Bad Sport punishments for boosting their account levels and Rockstar doesn\u2019t seem to be doing much about it. Redditor AyeeFranklin flagged the issue on January 15, claiming they\u2019d been given the punishment for no reason, and Rockstar flat out denied their appeal to have it overturned. \u201cMet a couple of people in the Bad Sport lobby who was also affected by this exploit,\u201d they said. \u201cI took the issue to Rockstar Support, but was ultimately declined.\u201d Others noted that it has happened to them as well, with their appeals also being turned down. \u201cAbsolutely pathetic from an absolutely pathetic company to keep f*cking the players over,\u201d said one. \u201cClassic L*, not their problem because it won\u2019t make them money,\u201d added another. The Bad Sport lobbies are full of players who are deemed to not play the game in the right way, and lose out on bonuses like money as a result. It\u2019s not a death sentence, but it\u2019s a pretty big punishment. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if Rockstar starts clamping down on the hackers that appear to be causing the headaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
