Grand Theft Auto Games 'At Risk' From Being Pulled From Sale Ahead Of GTA 6
One of the only times I've ever been grateful that Rockstar Games - a litigious and thoroughly despicable crew of money-grubbing cunts - are being pressed in their most sensitive and tender area: their bank account.
Now John Indiegame doesn't need to worry about the Collective Shout campaign. The scumbags with the army of lawyers and endless rivers of money will take care of things.

Doubt it. Not with the money they take in.
"Personally, I think it’s a good thing that websites are starting to take age verification more seriously."
"It’s easier than ever to access whatever you want, really, and that could be very harmful to the younger generation."
At the bottom of the article. That site is a joke.
Honestly? Good
Nobody cares about "furry shit and incest" or that game about digging through an incel's computer. Studios will say they stand with artists and freedom of expression all while frantically removing sex scenes and making sure every single dryad is in a three piece suit and the evil lord's army just roughs people up.
GTA6? That is expected to be a significant chunk of the FY2026 (?) earnings for a LOT of platforms. They'll care about that. Same with all the studios that were hoping to ride the wave of people who finished GTA and want another game to try.
GTA San Andreas: Center of a huge moral panic over every aspect, even pulled from store shelves over a mod that unlocked a hidden (not very explicit!) Sex minigame Result: Easily the most successful game in years
GTA 6: Doing it again???
in the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity
Rockstar have been leveraging controversy to their advantage for over 20 years now, with great success.
While I’m paranoid enough to believe that they’re behind it all, I definitely do think that they do subtly help amplify such messages towards their favour.
Not sure if you are implying that Rockstar are secretly behind the christofacists or what but...
I don't care if GTA6 sells more copies because of this. I care that they are able to sell any copies at all. None of this shit is new and we as a people ignore it every single time it comes up because it is something niche or something that everyone needs to say they hate (porn).
So let's take away the stuff people actually want and bring this to a head.
Um… aren’t age ratings supposed to restrict sales in the first place?
[insert fake tears here] Oh no! Anyway....
God I hate this timeline. I feel like we just cant catch a break..the entire world is on-fire, and instead of facing that headon, we are ignoring it and focusing on trivial issues to hide our incompetence.
The collapse is coming because we chose this. Just to be clear, a collapse was not inevitable, we decided we wanted that instead of a habitable world for our grandchildren.
