5. Stop With The Inflation

In the same vein as the big updates like heists and businesses being locked behind paywalls surpassing millions of dollars, even the smaller in-game purchases have skyrocketed in the years since the title first released.

Where clothes used to be pretty cheap to pick up, with the most expensive items being a couple thousand dollars, now even a jacket can set you back almost ten grand. It's the same with vehicles and, to a lesser extent, weapons too. The base game's sports cars used to be affordable, but now vehicles that perform worse than them are double the price.

It's a strange system to have, and the cost of in-game items just keeps rising more and more. It's easy to say the increased price is a cheeky way at mimicking inflation, but let's be real: it's just another way of making you burn through money faster so you have to resort to picking up a shark card.
