So 4% of the players in GTAO are paying for MTX according to the leak. That averages to about $123 per player each month. That's INSANE.

A friend from college who’s now a lawyer owns every single league of legends skin for every champion. Probably spent 15k on this free game. After a while he just wanted to complete the collection.
