      Not sure if you are implying that Rockstar are secretly behind the christofacists or what but…

      I don’t care if GTA6 sells more copies because of this. I care that they are able to sell any copies at all. None of this shit is new and we as a people ignore it every single time it comes up because it is something niche or something that everyone needs to say they hate (porn).

      So let’s take away the stuff people actually want and bring this to a head.

      in the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity

      Rockstar have been leveraging controversy to their advantage for over 20 years now, with great success.

      While I’m paranoid enough to believe that they’re behind it all, I definitely do think that they do subtly help amplify such messages towards their favour.
