Ever since they worked on that project together, her life turned around and became more exciting.

What are these Shark Cards you mentioned? Because I don’t feel like doing any of that

Good! Because you can waste real money on in game cash. With GTA’s obscenely inflated economy, it’s easy to go through $200k just to buy all the latest fashions for your character (outfits can go for $40 to $50k). And instead of offering micro transactions to buy a car pack or single car (see Forza), R* offers in game money. This is their endgame as how they support online. Seriously, it was even in their Q4 share holders call last year.

Megalodon Shark - $8,000,000 - $99.99 USD / £64.99 GBP
Whale Shark - $3,500,000 - $49.99 USD / £39.99 GBP
Great White Shark - $1,250,000 - $19.99 USD / £13.49 GBP (that’s paying $20 for a loving Adder)
Bull Shark - $500,000 - $9.99 USD / £6.75 GBP
Tiger Shark - $200,000 - $4.99 USD / £3.39 GBP
Red Shark - $100,000 - $2.99 USD / £1.99 GBP


So wait, is this microtransaction stuff or something? If so, why is the $1,250,000 GTA Fun Bux option priced at $20? I was in EB Games today and they were selling $1,000,000 GTA Fun Bux codes for $2.
