However, much of the report focuses on progressive changes at Rockstar in recent years, including a more inclusive office culture, a focus on reducing crunch, a removal of abusive managers, conversion of contractors into full-time employees and a restructure to improve working conditions. Morale is said to be higher at the company as a result, and one source said Rockstar was “a boys’ club transformed into a real company.”
That “boys club” created some of the most profitable entertainment products in history. “More inclusive culture” is code for mass diversity hiring. “Abusive managers” is code for straight white men.
The report also points to a more progressive mindset at the company in narrative terms, too. Bloomberg says that a mode called Cops 'n' Crooks was shelved before release following the 2020 police killing of George Floyd, and has not been considered for release since.
Good to see open acknowledgment that “progressive mindset” = sympathy for hardened criminals. Can’t even have shootouts with police and criminals in a video game anymore because leftists are triggered by the sight of belligerent criminals catching well-deserved bullets.
The company is also focusing on making fewer jokes in GTA that 'punch down' at marginalized groups.
Translation: open season on whites, men, Christians, heterosexuals. All others protected from satire at all times.
Rockstar is said to have moved more developers onto GTA 6 recently having scrapped remasters of Red Dead Redemption and GTA 4.
So we were finally going to get RDR1 for PC, but those devs have now been shifted to woke GTA6. Awesome.
Honestly what’s wrong with a boys club? I’d imagine the majority of GTA players are guys. I don’t have a problem with a girls club or a female dominated hobby catering to women. Case in point look at the romance novel publishing industry they know who their audience is and that’s who they cater to. Nothing wrong with that.
I actually would think a cop game GTA style would be cool or maybe where you have the choice to be crooked
Game has been in development hell, too. They fired people, replaced em with multiple people and do a "development by comitee". Don't expect anything from GTA 6, I for one won't be buying it the way all this sounds is just too many red flags.
GTA6 will probably be the biggest game launch of all time. All of the streamers will chase views. All of the reviewers will kiss the ring. The online mode will be the same garbage as GTA5 plus more aggressive monetization. The industry will manufacture unanimous positive consensus.
Does it make me old that I can remember when IGN talked about video games? Also a playable female isn’t a big deal. A playable female figuring corrupt white men who is part of lgbt is yet another reason people who make these games must not be gamers or must not know who actually plays the games.
It would only be okay if the game was originally based off of a female lead, like Tomb Raider or something.
On top of that, when an agenda is pushed, the quality of the content also suffers.
So it's one "fuck you" to the fans who were invested in the series, and another "fuck you" because something they were looking forward to is now ruined, perhaps forever.
I had Lara Croft in mind when I typed that or (if you wanna go old school) Kings Quest 4. I know the first GTA had a playable female. The problem is like you said when they announce it then the reason is usually to push an agenda. I can only imagine how this one will be
I have no faith in modern Rockstar being able to make a good GTA game, but I have to ask, are these actual leaks, or are they just making up shit to farm outrage clicks?
The quotes I posted above are from a Bloomberg article that was cripped by IGN. No idea if the “Latina protag fighting corrupt white men” is true, but what else could it be at this point? They can’t have brown bad guys or white male leads in AAA gaming anymore.
The LGBT community is a purely political creation. If someone says their lead is a lesbian or bisexual woman with a girlfriend, that can be an attempt to court non-SJWs by combining their love of hot women and fast cars. But such a character would not be part of the LGBT community, and her girlfriend wouldn't reject her femininity by claiming to be non-binary.
If it's true, is the corrupt white organisation the parody of the FBI and is the non-binary girlfriend an excuse to have hot girl on girl sex scenes like they use the same excuse for Last of us 2
If so this would be the greatest troll ever, which beats the more realistic they lost their best talent, got a bunch of diversity hires that have no clue how to write a story without self inserts

There's nothing wrong with a. Oys club, but these psychopaths want to ruin everything that doesn't involve them
Exactly
How can she be her girlfriend if she isn't a woman? ah, forget it. it's doubleplus good
Last I heard it's goyfriend.
Yes. It's gone.
I miss the days when that description of a lead character would have been obvious satire.
Bad move, they just killed their fan base like far cry did doing the exact same crap.
What did far cry do? I mean how did they screw up?
No one I knew touched 6, it was woke Latina main character. Hell I forgot the game was out until gta sparked a micro aggression.

Well, I guess RDR3 won't be any good when it comes out sometime in the 2030s.
Game has been in development hell, too. They fired people, replaced em with multiple people and do a "development by comitee". Don't expect anything from GTA 6, I for one won't be buying it the way all this sounds is just too many red flags.
Yeah, THAT'S what people play GTA for; social justice.
Wow what a fucking dumpster fire. Haven't supported rockstar in years. Thought they may have some balls left. This will fail and likely epically
GTA6 will probably be the biggest game launch of all time. All of the streamers will chase views. All of the reviewers will kiss the ring. The online mode will be the same garbage as GTA5 plus more aggressive monetization. The industry will manufacture unanimous positive consensus.
But GTA6 won’t sell as many units as GTA5.

I hope this isn’t true
Meh, I almost entirely refuse to play women because if there’s any fighting it’s just immersion killing. Women aren’t men…
People keep saying this, but it's just not true.

They know people will still buy it and bypass their story to go straight to open world mayhem.
Rockstar gets paid. And they get virtue signal good-boi points to bolster their ESG score.

anyone that made games that were good is long gone.
What do you mean RIP? Rockstar has been dead for fucking years, mate.

Please provide Nitter source. I couldn't find it, and chances are it's a doctored pic.
I stopped playing GTA before 3 came out, so I have no interest in this other than verification.
You're right bro, I didn't verify this and can only find sources on this from smaller publications. I'll remove it thanks.
Ah, shame. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was real. Good on you, and thanks, for removing it when unable to verify.
i thought it was real for a second, sadly. haha
Dan Houser went full retard
A few people in c/gaming where deluding themselves into thinking this game could be salvaged.
