Mission rewards, applies to any GTA
I’m tagging this as San Andreas, but it applies to any GTA game really
When you complete a mission, you get given a set amount of money at the end of it for most of them. It’s never really made much sense as to why. For example, at the end of “Drive by”, you’re given $500 by presumably Sweet. All y’all doing is hanging out with them and helping them shoot the rival gang which they could do themselves without you.
So why the money rewards? We are allowed to believe that Grove Street is low class with not a lot of cash so sweet just has $500 and gives it to CJ for helping out, for something that shouldn’t have any monetary value attached to it?
Am I just reading too much into this or overthinking it?
The late missions make sense because you’re effectively a contract killer for higher, so getting money for those missions make sense
