You've all heard the horror stories about GTA Online's hacker issue. Some of you have experienced it. For the former, this can be a bit of insight into what a particularly hackeritious day in the game is like — for the latter, this is a funny "yeah, been there" experience.
GTA 5's Rockstar Editor is a tool of wondrous potential. It allows players to record gameplay and go back to edit it, alter the camera angle, add effects, cut the footage — it hands players a whole video editing suite within the game.
This has been used for all kinds of purposes. Trailer recreations — of both the satirical and serious varieties — and original content both find their place besides droves of zero effort "funny moments" videos.
Of course, on occasion the Rockstar Editor also proved to be a way of parodying GTA 5 itself. The way the prices of end-game items, vehicles and specials (such as the yachts) are set pretty high, while acquiring cash is slow and difficult has drawn a bit of ire for promoting Shark Cards, but then that's why we're still getting free DLC.
The hacker problem has been pretty prominent when it comes to GTA Online discussion. As unfortunate as it is, there are plenty of ways to counter them and avoid them altogether. However, the hackers and jokes about them have become a part of GTA Online "culture".
