The webpage also clearly states they prohibit the selling of “loot boxes” inexchange for real-world money as well as its in-game equivalent such as GTA$. You also cannot sell virtual in-game currency plus generate “revenue via corporate sponsorships or in-game integrations, or the use of cryptocurrencies or crypto assets (e.g. NFTs)”. This is a concrete stance against NFTs or any form of crypto by Rockstar which plenty of people will be pleased to lớn see.
Some people might see this as a negative but Rockstar clearly state they have “always believed in reasonable tín đồ creativity và wants creators lớn showcase their passion for our games.

What has caused this change?
We can only speculate but there has been an increase in NFT/crypto or lootbox related GTA RP items servers have been up for sale including by rapper Lil Durk. According khổng lồ a press release in October, the rapper’s GTA RP hệ thống is offering a “Trenches Pass” that includes a GTA Online Loot Box, access to lớn the RP server và more “perks”. Given this is from a high profile artist, it might have caught the attention of Take-Two rather than small NFT/crypto focused communities who don’t have many players. We will report any developments on this story.
