A lot of gamers can’t wait for “GTA 6” to come out, but Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser doesn’t seem to share the same views. In a recent interview with GQ, Houser admitted that he is glad that “Red Dead Redemption 2” is coming out instead of “GTA 6” while Donald Trump is in office.
“It’s really unclear what we would even do with it, let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did,” Houser said. "Both intense liberal progression and intense conservatism are both very militant, and very angry. It is scary but it’s also strange, and yet both of them seem occasionally to veer towards the absurd. It’s hard to satirise for those reasons. Some of the stuff you see is straightforwardly beyond satire. It would be out of date within two minutes, everything is changing so fast."
Houser does have a point when he noted that they wouldn’t know how to approach the game. There is certainly a strong tradition of satire in the “Grand Theft Auto” franchise and it’s hard to come up with good ideas when the political situation keeps on changing.
However, the current political climate probably won’t impact the sales of “GTA 6” that much if it does come out during Trump’s term in office. Look at it this way, the “Grand Theft Auto” franchise has received a lot of criticism for its depiction of violence and murder, but did that ever stopped people from buying a copy? No, in fact, the games actually received more attention because of the controversy.
Still, Rockstar is doing the smart thing here by taking their time with “GTA 6.” While rival studios like Ubisoft (Assassin’s Creed) continue to churn out one new game after another, Rockstar likes to concentrate their resources on a single title and they usually do a good job in developing their games.
Right now, “Red Dead Redemption 2” is about to come out and the studio is going to be very busy working on “Red Dead Online.” After that, Rockstar will finally turn their attention to “GTA 6.”
