Cheaters in Grand Theft Auto Online face a threat greater than cops: the banhammer

Grand Theft Auto Online encourages you to take part in almost any type of vice you can imagine — except cheating.

Developer Rockstar Games is “taking aim at GTA Online cheaters,” according to the company’s official newswire. Rockstar is determined to punish a small percentage of players who generated gargantuan sums of in-game cash by exploiting a glitch, breaking the game’s economy for fair players. It threatened today to subject these cheaters to in-game penalties, including bans.
