"GTA Online has slashed the amount of in-game money players earn from repeating missions by half. The game&amp;#039;s 1.04 patch update introduced the change on Friday (October 18), and developer Rockstar Games has since confirmed it on its support website.  The studio said that the measures were introduced &amp;quot;to keep the game balanced as well as encourage the exploration of new missions and content in the game&amp;quot;. Rockstar also confirmed that it is in &amp;quot;ongoing discussions&amp;quot; about allowing replays of NPC missions, and is monitoring community feedback surrounding the matter. Patch 1.04 is also expected to pave the way for the $500,000 in-game cash compensation, which will be delivered in two instalments.  In order to qualify for the compensation, players must have played GTA Online at least once during the month of October, and must install the latest update. The first part of the cash reward will be delivered next week. GTA Online&amp;#039;s launch was stifled by reports of lost characters, progress, items and in-game cash on Xbox 360 and PS3. Players are encouraged to visit the Rockstar support pages if problems persist with GTA Online. GTA 5 was released for PS3 and Xbox 360 in September and has already sold more than 3 million copies in the UK alone.  &amp;gt; Read Digital Spy&amp;#039;s GTA 5 review &amp;gt; &amp;#039;GTA Online&amp;#039; review (Xbox 360): Full of untapped potential Watch a trailer for Grand Theft Auto 5 below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
