What else was there to expect from the same people who made an article about how Cuphead is tied to racism because it's animation style was inspired by cartoons from the 30s and 40s?
 
Rockstar Games is trending on the Internet online because game journalists are telling us that Grand Theft Auto VI has bent the knee to “wokeness”

You can read more through the archived version of the site, since the article is behind a paywall. Either way, the gist is clear: GTA VI is on already on the chopping block of being pozzed.
 
Considering how literally every other tech and IT company is starting to lay off the (literal) fat due to the recession, gonna go on a limb here and say that Rockstar's new found sobriety won't last long.

Coddling email jobbers doesn't go far in lean times.

I called this years ago. Never understood why anyone was excited for GTA VI, all the old guard are effectively gone and all that's left are impotent in the face of TakeTwo.

Eh, I've likened it to inviting termites before. Even if they get rid of most of them there will still be structural damage weakening everything.

(and probably sexual harassment complaints)

Hell, it’s gotten so embarrassing that even The New York Post finds it absurd. Their own comments section and former fans of the series made better jokes than the plot behind this new installment:

Sadly I'm not quite surprised about this, since this is the same company that made the dumb waste-of-time E3 panel where it's nothing about games at all.

I'm alright with that. Games industry needs to burn down for many many many reasons.

If there's anything liberals hate, it's indigenous representation displays in media that are unmolested by Western pop culture.

Apparently Rockstar wasn't a real company before when it was making billions of dollars off of its games. Who knew.
 
Okay, all of that is flamingly gay except Sephiroth's hair. That is merely exceptionally gay, but only because hair maintenance really is a bitch and a half, especially when it gets to such a glorious length as Sephiroth's.

It can when your consumer base is so retarded they keep burning money on a 9yo game and dont care about unwoke content being removed

See how both fortnite and apex went woke yet nobody cares

Quality goes to shit? nobody cares

Basically they can afford to be shit because everybody else is also shit

LOLOL. That's what you get for thinking that the fuckers at Gawker give a shit about you as anything other than a click bait generator.

Should've gone with less "gay shit" articles and led with more "race baiting" articles. Those always bring in the outrage clicks to the site.
