If we’re going to government age verification everywhere just get rid of fucking ESRB and content ratings
This is a game made in Scotland, ESRB is a voluntary US based system.
Yes, it’s voluntary and self-imposed by the game industry to avoid exactly this kind of nanny-state bullshit. Ergo, if governments proceed with the bullshit anyway, then there’s no longer a need for the ESRB or PEGI.

Don't forget when they triple killed it by not enabling Proton support.
worse, they disabled it. it worked perfectly on proton then they blocked it off.

guess ill be pirating the next one, since there will be no online mode.
Same exact thought.

But Rockstar Games acquired FiveM back in 2023, so I don't see how is that relevant to piracy. In fact even if it wasn't, there was nothing illegal about it as far as I am aware.
if you can run a private server, you can get rid of all 'phone home' requirements.
so you just need a cracked copy of the game itself. luckily it is completely legal to remove digital locks on anything you bought in many countries (not the usa though).

Unfortunately, the online component easily becomes a profitable sideline. Sarcastically, it's what keeps some game corporation CEOs afford their lifestyles.
I fucking hate how there is starvation and homelessness in the world, at the same time as there is morons blasting cash away into imaginary online points.

Maybe I'm dating myself but this is the same company that released state of emergency for the PS2? That game you could literally mow down people in a mall with a mini gun?
They were worried about "the children?" News to me.
My mum enjoyed the bonus level in the mall where you could just kill like 100 people as fast as you could.
Her favourite weapon is the flamethrower.
Her first reaction to the game was "that's disgusting", but I let her have a go and suddenly she was toasting a whole crowd and loving every minute of it.

Parents will just have their kids play on their accounts. This only hurts the average person who now needs to worry about who has that information and how it's secured.
If that's true its going to be funny when the account gets banned because of something kiddo did

What about disabling the shitty anti-cheat or even just enabling it on Linux so I, as a 27yo, can play the damn game?

age verification is just a BS strawman. do you remember when we where young? we would access stuff and find ways to buy stuff. but whenever there was a reasonable but fair gap, it would be much harder to get whatever we wanted: buying weed was so much easier, than buying alcohol (without the appropriate age).
pirating is easy (even i figured it out before having enough money to buy movies & games). so the kids will just pirate that stuff and get their way anyway. age verification at the store makes so much more sense. sure, there are ways to circumvent those. but it is a reasonable stop block.
When I couldnt buy digital stuff because of age restrictions (e.g. game shops) I at one point figured out that Steam doesnt do that and you could get Paysafecards to buy them this way.
No need for paypal (which needs an online banking enabled SEPA account or credit card) or a credit card. -

That's disgusting!
Where can I find more!

Can you even call it GTA online if there aren't a dozen 12 year olds running around screaming, "N***** and F*****".
Can you call it that when chat is disabled anyway ; D

GTA5 was released in 2013. GTA6 is being released 13 years later. If there had been no GTAO, we would have had at least one or two more "modern" GTA releases in that window.
I would think so.
Considering for how detailed the world is, I can see them working for a long time on it (maybe not 13 years but longer than between 4 and 5). -
Seriously. Our school had a presentation by a guy about kids and computer usage. The gist of it was: Roblox bad, because of paedophiles. GTA good, because it furthers role playing. Basically the opposite of the age recommendations.
Welll...Depends on if you install mods I guess?

I wouldn't mind not having to play with children. But it's a privacy issue

Im bout to crash out this is absolutely the most stupidest idea ever. Anyone should be able to play this game regardless of age.
