There's inevitably plenty of reaction, little of it good.

    There’s an EARLY mission in the GTA V storyline where you assassinate that universe’s equivalent of Mark Zuckerberg with a literal phone bomb. As in, the phone rings, he puts it to his ear, and it detonates right there. And in the Doomsday Heist you blow up that universe’s equivalent of Elon Musk with missile-equipped jetpacks after the dipshit tried to start a nuclear war with his super AI named Cliffford. I guess they’re cutting it for using the real world names? Maybe people should be more creative and use a non-distinct name for him. Either way it’s still a stupid thing for R* to censor.

      Just call the target “Chuck” or something.

      It’s gonna be the real name thing, honestly. But I do feel GTA VI is going to be a lot more “censored” than the previous titles, I hope not.

      Guess they did that because the last thing you currently want to do is getting into the crosshair of the trump gov.

        They’re UK based, they don’t care. And if Trump decided to ban GTA VI from sales in the US there would be straight up riots.

          If there’s not riots from what is already happening in the US, then there definitely won’t be from a video game being banned.

          That’s a very out of touch take.
