GTA V: 10 Reasons It’s Guaranteed to Cause Controversy

GTA V will cause controversy and much of it, of that you could pretty much bet your house on. Here are ten reasons why.

Rockstar can€™t seem to move without making waves. With virtually every online eye focused intently on GTA V and its road to release, it looks like this time they€™re working on a tsunami. I€™m not sure I remember a game that€™s been so hotly anticipated, so consistently googled and speculated on, if there ever was one. Suffice it to say, we€™re standing on the precipice of yet another huge R* release. And of course, along with that comes yet another controversy sh*tstorm. R* could perhaps be considered the kings of controversy. After all, they rode a wave of public outcry right to the top of the gaming industry with their original GTA releases, and gained themselves a bad boy notoriety when they unleashed the viscerally upsetting Manhunt onto an unsuspecting world. The original GTA caused quite a stir, and in those early days its controversy caused it to be condemned in Britain, Germany and France, and even banned outright in Brazil, with its €œextreme violence€ cited as the reason. Lucky for R* (and for us Brits) that the series was championed by publicist Max Clifford, who planted stories in UK tabloids to help sell the game. And each time a new GTA is released, R* invite similar levels of damning controversy upon themselves. Why? Well, that€™s what I€™m here to discuss. GTA V will cause controversy and much of it, of that you could pretty much bet your house on. Here are ten reasons why.
