It's lonely at the top, even in Grand Theft Auto.
A Grand Theft Auto Vplayer posted on Reddit about how they've achieved a massive amount of success in GTA Online, racking up millions of dollars and all kinds of vehicles. But after getting almost everything they wanted, Redditor ClydesKorner realized they were bored "as hell."
Here is ClydesKorner's realizations, edited for clarity:
I have almost every car in the game, every property I can own. A yacht, all the businesses, and over $100 million in my account. Do you know how fun the game is when you get to this point? It's NOT. I have absolutely nothing to play for anymore. The thrill of buying something after weeks of grinding is no longer. I spend my playing time lonely, trolling others in a Hydra, and picking off randoms with an explosive sniper rifle from a rooftop. It's lonely. It's boring. It's terrible. Everyone in the game cries, "I want monies! drop money!" But when you have it all, it's terribly depressing. The game is almost ruined for me. There is absolutely no joy left in doing anything.
The old saying "money can't buy happiness" rings true even in the world of Grand Theft Auto. And apparently you can include "picking off randoms with an explosive sniper rifle from a rooftop (in GTA)" onto the list of things that can't buy happiness.
Success really got to ClydesKorner, who found out that the journey really is better than the destination. They even called the end of the road depressing.
Other players chimed in with their own experiences of digital fortune, noting that it's important to use the things you've earned to explore and have fun. There's more to do than just earn money and buy things.
One user suggested riding up tall mountains and parachuting down to the bottom, helping out new players for free, doing a little roleplaying, or the old standard: "Try to convince online players to join your 16-man aircraft, fly them as far out into the ocean as you can, and then crash it killing everyone on board."
It's important to remember, both in the real world and in GTA, that money isn't everything. Sometimes you need a little murderous deceit to brighten up your day.
