This is a truely interesting paste. Thanks for sharing. GTA is meant to replicate the real word (to a certain extent). So, when you try to replicate his argument to the real word, you you get the point. This guy has just given some real reason why people shouldn't hope to be magically rich in real life. Why try to win at Euromillion ? By translating to the real world, it would give : "Giving [me] $500,000 will shit on that whole process. Completing a [job] and getting $10,000 wont feel like such an achievement when [I]'ve already got half a million sitting in the bank. I really feel that suddenly getting wealthier would make the game less enjoyable"... ""Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities"" - Balu - The Jungle Book - 1967

A sense of achievement comes from two different places when comparing GTA to real life. 10k in real life doesn't feel like an accomplishment to people simply because they don't have 500k in the bank, it's also/mostly because it's usually hard to earn and takes a significant investment of time and effort. Also, there are no real consequences in GTA for running out of money, like there are in real life. People want to win lotteries for the security (which ironically they so often piss away if they do win), something that people don't need in a video game.
