In GTA Online, you’ve been a gang leader, a business owner, and a gambling addict whose fashion sense has set trends in the “I don’t dress like a toddler” field.

Now, Rockstar Games has introduced a brand new DLC package to help you make money when heists won’t load and your teammates keep dying.

Creating the Perfect MMO Experience

While devouring a steaming bowl of ramen, my Trickster Rogue hit level 30. I had earned a few titles, Selunite being the one my character PhoenixDown chose because it just seemed cooler than the stale “Hero of Neverwinter” title.
