Episode 80: Rockstar is Killing GTA VI by Making It Woke

from Splash Damage · host Scrivonaut

Grand Theft Auto VI is in development, but don’t get too excited; according to reports, the upcoming entry in the popular franchise will no longer “punch down” at minorities. In other words, GTA VI won’t be the Grand Theft Auto series fans know and love for being an offensive and satirical take on politics and America. We discuss this groan-inducing news along with Kotaku getting upset at Stray and Quiet, Games for Change’s warped view of reality, As Dusk Fall’s spoiler-filled trigger warning, San Diego Comic Con using the term “Filipinx,” and more.
