Also, for extra GTA-doomer content, I still expect them to put online mode’s in-game currency on their own blockchain to prevent exploits, better enabling their bullshit monetization schemes.
Why would they do this? Do you think they’d want people to sell their in-game currency to other people without them being able to take a cut? How would putting it on a block chain prevent exploits?

Blockchain just means every transaction is recorded forever (simplifying a little bit but not too much). You can have a blockchain currency without any mechanism to exchange / trade / transfer it. There are also even regular cryptocurrencies that can only be traded within a ‘walled garden’ where the house always gets a cut. But I don’t think they’d allow P2P sales, ever, and going by GTA V, probably won’t allow P2P cash transfer at all either.
