10 Times Video Games "Helped" (And Made Everything Worse)

There is no joy quite like being the most powerful person on a multiplayer server. Sure, you end up looking like Dr. Evil if you kill too many people in quick succession, but countering a real live human with easy precision always gets you a good hit of those tasty endorphins.

So, when the Orbital Cannon - a weapon that could kill a player from anywhere on the map - became available in GTA V, people went supervillain-level crazy for it.

Or, at least, anyone lucky enough to have a cool million dollars in their online character's bank account went crazy for it. After all, what's the shame in spending a million dollars to literally blast someone with a weapon that's in outer space?

Seemingly all too aware that players would overuse the weapon if it had no other drawbacks, Rockstar added one last complication to using the weapon. In order to actually shoot it, you'd need to pay either $500k to fire it yourself, or $750k to have it automatically aim and fire at your enemy. You'd need to pay this each time, so presumably only Scrooge McDuck was getting his daily usage out of this bad boy.
