Should You Buy Shark Cards If You’re Playing Grand Theft Auto Online For The Mansions?
Of course, this new promo was introduced just in time for the long-awaited mansions, coming in an update fans expect to arrive next month. Rockstar is also giving players nearly two months to enjoy these new rates.
Of course, there will be a lot of Grand Theft Auto Online players who have potentially millions, even billions of GTA $ stashed away after years of playing. This update is for those players who haven’t logged in that much playtime but want to make and enjoy mansion when they arrive in the game.
But as the old gamer saying goes, you control the buttons you press. In this case, we’re referring to the buttons to spend your real money for GTA $.
Grand Theft Auto Online is fully featured with tons of activities and ways to make GTA $ in-game. Please take this as a reminder that you, as a consumer, are responsible for your own purchases.
We trust that you can reasonably decide if you would rather play to earn GTA $ or spend to enjoy the rewards now. Or you could do both to get your mansions in the way you prefer.
