GTA Online Problems Rising As Rockstar Temporarily Disables Microtransactions, Encourages Players To Do Heists Instead

A couple of weeks ago, GTA V made headlines as it broke sales record after sales record. But now, the developers are facing terrible issues as the player community complains about GTA Online problems. As a result, Rockstar has announced that it will disable microtransactions temporarily until servers and the game itself become more stable. 

In a report by Sky News, the Edinburgh-based developer said that it has halted in-game purchases. 

"For the time being and until we have been able to get everybody access to GTA Online and things are running smoothly, we have disabled the option of purchasable GTA$ cash packs," as stated in the developer's support page. 

"Players can however keep on earning GTA$ by pulling off jobs and other profitable gameplay activities rather than purchasing cash packs."

In connection to these announcements, Rockstar vows to fix everything as soon as they can. But the developer isn't the only one who experienced this problem. 

Electronic Arts have also encountered problems when it launched Sim City earlier this year. 

With over 15 million copies sold in just a couple of weeks, Grand Theft Auto 5 is expected to even add up to the numbers with the help of GTA Online's microtransactions. 

But players may have to wait until Rockstar finally delivers the game glitch and problem-free.
