Loss of Money in Patch 1.09

Okay, I'm fine with going back to $500,000. I like having fun in GTA 5 by doing races & missions & selling cars, so i always make money & I already have everything I need. Just have to buy ammo & pay for dying. i was gifted 33 million a couple months ago & thought it was a legit bounty. I thought surely if it was hacked, Rockstar would take it away. & they did. Fine. It was actually very liberating to have all the car & upgrade options. I still had to win races to unlock more upgrades. & find the jumps. & level up my character & my crew. But I didn't have to worry about experimenting with chrome or different tires. I feel like I got to play a beta of the game where everything was free. I'm surprised it took Rockstar so long to take the hacked money away. I really expected them to take everything-cars, apartment, weapons, & ammo. & they left me with a half a mil. More than generous. What I can't wrap my mind around is a game that glorifies stealling & requires you to be good at stealing to even play the game, is upset that people stole fake money from them. Now I know they expect to make money off of those Shark cards & maybe they do. Personally, I'm against micro transactions. I feel they are ruining gaming, especially mobiles. But nobody broke into Rockstar offices & stole something in the physical world. They stole it in the game. The game that keeps telling me I have to steal. To make money. To play the game. & some people did. Through glitches, which means the game was broken. & if someone can help you find the things that need to be patched, they should be rewarded, not put into a cheater pool. Am I wrong to think this is hypocritical? Like I said, it doesn't really effect me. I didn't do the glitches & I never worried about money. In the game. If I had money in the real world, I would hire the guys in the cheater pool to beta test my big budget video game.

You're lucky to have half a million dollars. They removed my money remaining from the Stimulus Package.
