The GTA 6 trailer wasn't just cinematics, according to a former Rockstar developer who says "It's really gonna look like this" (www.gamesradar.com)

My prediction is on it having stuff like the far cry and CoD games where there's an in game store you can buy "exclusive" items, skins, boosts, shit like that.

Every loading screen will have an advert for the current "season" of items that will, for no reason at all, become unavailable forever in a few weeks time.

None of it will cost real money, it will use some in game currency will convert from real money in increments that are just slightly higher than the in shop items, so you are always left with some left in your wallet.

Normal game progression will reward with some of this currency, just enough to buy the cheapest store item. In game events will give you some free items that you go to the store to claim. The free stuff is shite.
