Video Games Plus, a gaming retailer based out of Canada, and an independent gaming retailer known as Loot Box Gaming have both stated that they won’t be selling GTA 6.

Not huge retailers in the grand scheme of things, but interesting to see at least some taking a stand especially when they are almost certainly losing out on money by doing so.

    This is an unnecessarily gatekeepy take. I love an extremely wide variety of video games, from Morrowind to Monkey Island, and I think GTA games have had generally compelling stories. Crime drama is a fiction staple and scarcely anyone does it better than Rockstar.

      I don’t know where the gatekeeping comes from. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but I literally encouraged the other person to play more varieties of games, which as far as I know is the opposite of gatekeeping.

      Though I can agree the ‘take’ wasn’t particularly good. I found the other comment stupid, so I wrote a stupid, maybe mocking reply. That’s all there is to it.
