    Huh. They unionized before GTA 6 came out. Hope this can extend to the people that got fired over this.

    Oops somehow Rockstar went bankrupt even though GTA5 printed money for them. But luckily there’s this new investor, which totally isn’t the old owner wearing a fake mustache, who is willing to take the risk and take over the project and SOME of its personnel.

    Tax the fucking rich!

          It would be welcome if they felt such a sting that they relented, but most of these major players just throw away complete pieces of art. Look at Batgirl, or the PC port of Ghost of Yōtei.

      Lol I wonder what you wrote that garnered those initial reactions. Something whining about the game being too woke or what?

      Well, nonetheless, I unironically am looking forward to a woman being the main character. It’ll be a nice change of pace - I wonder if they’re going to keep the multi character stuff from GTA V or switch back to a solo protagonist.

          On the other hand, there is something incredibly funny about a man so uncomfortable in themselves and their identity that they think a woman in a video game is an issue.

          No, the issue you have is internal. If you aren’t comfortable in yourself, the most manly thing you can do is to come to terms with it and not worry about everyone else. Real men, who are comfortable being men, aren’t constantly worrying about what others think about them, or what other people are doing. They let others do what they want, because it doesn’t actually effect who they are.
