Rockstar paid the guy like 50K or something for discovering it, and then it was apparently implemented into GTA online. Too bad I quit playing that time black hole years ago.

    I watched a YT video about this and they said the guy was paid 10K (way too low imo), a Google search shows different numbers everywhere so it's hard to confirm. But at least the guy got paid, for sure.

    As far as I'm understanding it, the game was using a single threading process to load every single items in the game one by one (over 10 thousands in total), then checking again for duplicate.
