Rockstar boss Dan Houser has said he’s “thankful” he isn’t releasing GTA 6 while Donald Trump is president.
Houser reckons that raging political factions have blurred the lines between truth and satire, and any commentary on the politics of the day in a video game would be out of date almost instantly.
“It’s really unclear what we would even do with it, let alone how upset people would get with whatever we did,” he told GQ.
“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 It would be out of date within two minutes, everything is changing so fast.”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 and his team are just days away from releasing Rockstar’s magnum opus, its take on the grand American Frontier, Red Dead Redemption 2.
