As was previously mentioned, making money in GTA Online - particularly in its latter stages - proved to be needlessly repetitive. You could do heists, the same old missions over and over again or engage in update-specific jobs, which required a massive investment before turning a profit. Those too were marred by the fact they had to be completed in a public session, and it's ultimately what left many players with no alternative but to either quit the game for good, or to invest in micro-transactions.

We've already seen how Red Dead Redemption 2 will present Arthur Morgan with various opportunities to make his way in the world, including tracking down bounties, or completing busywork for various citizens. There's gambling too, which would be interesting to factor into online play, and with a living, breathing ecosystem to hunt and trade, one would hope Rockstar don't make the same mistake they did in GTA Online, and take wildlife out of the equation altogether.

Either way, ensuring Red Dead Online has a world to live in, and for there to be plenty of opportunities to generate in-game currency, is of key importance.
