    Pretty funny that because of all their microtransactions being stored in a JSON file being loaded into memory, that ended up making their game more slow and annoying and frustrating to play.

    I am super curious if the devs knew about this issue but it just wasn’t fixed because it wasn’t given priority by management, or if the devs genuinely had no clue about this?

    The even weirder and funnier thing is I’ve worked with larger JSON files day to day at my job with a much smaller scale than Rockstar/GTA, although I guess it depends on how you work with the files and the fact they were checking string lengths for literally every single piece of data etc.
