I suppose that just comes with the territory when developing a game centred around amoral characters running around a virtual divided states of embarrassment.Watch on YouTube Two things that don’t go together: Sims 4. Even if for some strange reason, the title was to sell half of the 165 million copies that its predecessor did, it would still be considered a financial triumph.Īlthough it is clear to most that GTA VI will not be a woke title, as we move closer to the game’s release, these sorts of Twitter spats will likely become more frequent. It would take something truly monumental for GTA VI to be anything other than a roaring success. The game is almost 10 years old and it still appears on best-selling weekly games lists. ![]() ![]() It is estimated to have made Rockstar Games over $6 billion since it was first released in 2013. For those making that claim, you do realise that this is a GTA title we are discussing, right?Īlong with Minecraft, Grand Theft Auto V is one of the most financially successful video games in history. Do you really not expect that farcical, nightmarish collective experience not to be highlighted in the next GTA game?Īlong with the claims that the GTA VI will be a woke title, many are speculating it to be a financial bomb due to the old, ‘go woke, go broke,’ mentality.

The news that the next entry in everyone’s favourite innocent civilian murder simulator may feature a section where the player controls a female character was apparently too much for a significant amount people across the internet.
