Also: The world has become super toxic regarding basically everything mocked in GTA. I highly doubt GTA 6 will be even a bit like previous versions. It will end up as toned-down unironically "woke" cashgrab. To me, GTA ended with GTA V.

    Yeah, the fact that so many element of society have no sense of humour about themselves or the capability for self-deprecation anymore won't help.

    I don't imagine it will even be "woke", I imagine it will be bland and safe to avoid putting off any of the audience as it will have to recoup a huge development cost.

    GTA 6 will inevitably be labelled woke, but I don't think that'll be the issue. I just don't think GTA's humour works nowadays and needs to evolve. Even ignoring the childish poop and sex jokes, writing poignant satire in 2023 simply is a lot harder. I think ultimately Take-Two is just gonna play it safe, take no risks and the end product will be bland as a result. Just like the new Saints Row.

    It's inevitably going to be labelled woke because it has a female protagonist, a non-white female protagonist at that!

    Also there was some stuff in the leaks about

    spoilera right-wing militia which you can encounter and presumably slaughter, kinda like the KKK in RDR2, so expect Ben Shapiro to get upset about that

    I don't think GTA6 is gonna be quite where they play it safe just yet, their brand recognition relies too much on crass satire of America. The Saints Row Reboot also totally flopped financially, so I don't think anybody is going to take them as inspiration. I think the execs are just smart enough to know why GTA sells.
