      I know you're being sarcastic, but if does point out the fact that capitalism is only held in check by government. RockStar obviously waited until they knew they could get away with it given the current attitudes in all branches of the US government.

              I pretty much only buy indie games at this point. Any game made by a company that benefits a stock ticker? You best believe I'm... (*checks what comm I'm in*) ..Acquiring it. Lol Funnily enough the one exception to this rule that I probably would have made was BF6 but they forced me to sit this one out by barring Linux users πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ So I'm playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.

The closest I can provide is **Wobbly Life** which is unironically an awesome physics heavy GTA-like themed around being a destructive kid. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1211020/Wobbly_Life/ For driving jobs, hanging out in a living multiplayer city and driving feel that hits just right check out the rabidly loved **Motor Town: Behind The Wheel**. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1369670/Motor_Town_Behind_The_Wheel/

                                  If you like the old-school top-down GTA feel, American Fugitive is super cheap now and is a good-ish game. Same dev has The Precinct, which is top-down GTA but you're playing a cop. The story is not a strong point with either, but if you need that, go to a different genre. And there is also Rustler, which is ridiculously fun.

                                    I can vouch for Motortown, even if it’s not a ton like GTA. There’s a surprising amount of gameplay detail considering the assets look low-detail. Great roleplay experience.
