Rockstar removed a game mode from GTA Online due to a real event

Information from Bloomberg confirms that the killing of George Floyd in 2020 changed plans with GTA 5.

Last week, journalist Jason Schreier posted on Bloomberg what we can expect from the next big project. rock star. We know that GTA VI will feature a female lead and all efforts are being developed, but a detail about a decision affecting Grand Theft Auto V was also confirmed a while ago.

More specifically, it’s about content that was dropped from GTA Online, as Schreier confirmed two years ago that the studio had stepped back with an update. due to a real event: the murder of George Floyd in 2020 in the hands of a police officer sentenced to twenty years in prison.

The mod put the cops like the good guysThe contradiction with this update is that Rockstar planned to add the update that same summer. a game mode where the good guys are cops. Dubbed ‘Cops n Crooks’, it was a modality where the good guys face the bad guys and the good side is played by the police, something that will spark some controversy due to the distrust and skepticism towards the authorities created by this horrific event. .

This is one of the actions that Rockstar has shown sensitivity to what’s going on in the world, something that seems to fit the world order. A different way to approach the humor that GTA VI will have. In addition, the company has made efforts to improve the working conditions of its employees, which will expand the game map over time rather than implement all the original content.
