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

By Stuart W. Bedford /

2. It€™s Such A Huge Brand

You rarely hear the same controversy levelled at other gaming franchises, do you? I mean, you might hear something about Assassin€™s Creed here, or about Dead Space there, but with most other titles, we€™re talking relatively isolated incidents. However, by now, GTA is nothing short of a superbrand; it€™s bigger and more lucrative than most other AAA titles on the market, and when a game is demanding that much of the public€™s attention, it€™s bound to generate that much more controversy. GTA is so famously controversial that reproachful eyes are already tracking the progress of the fifth instalment, you can probably bet money on it, already forming their arguments and readying their concerned rage for the moment it€™s released. It€™s inevitable a primary reason that, even now way before it€™s released, it€™s already guaranteed to be controversial.
