The game's core loop of variable rewards, loss aversion, and an open-ended goal of 'getting rich' could contribute to addictive play patterns. While there are natural stopping points after each heist, the continuous nature of the game may encourage extended play sessions. Content risks include moderate violence related to property damage and police evasion, and some fear/stress during chases.
