2. The Message It Conveys
As well as Grand Theft Auto V sending out pretty bad messages when it comes to issues of morality, it doesn't even punish the immoral. GTA games have always been about starting out with nothing, or at least, very little, before working our way through the criminal underworld in order to get very rich, very quickly. The characters in 'V', Michael, Trevor and Franklin, are all abhorrent individuals who rob, murder and maim their way through San Andreas, showing little to no remorse as the body count piles up along the way. By the end of the game, having killed so many police and FBI agents that it'd equate to a terrorist attack in the real world, instead of being thrown behind bars, each of the characters receive a huge cash reward for their criminal actions and get away with it all Scot free, giving out the message that crime does pay.
