“Brilliant game ruined by modders and hackers having full reign over it. There's no simple "Friends only" mode either, you legit just have to deal with terrible losers who get a kick out of ruining your time.”

“If rockstar would come back to fix problems like MODDERS/HACKERS and thats it, it wouldnt be as dead and not fun to play. Thats all they gotta do and theyd get more people playing, but honestly they couldnt care less…”
