    GTA6 will still sell millions of copies, many to people in threads just like this one that are appalled at RS's action.

    It's important to make a distinction between liberals who strive for moral purity through performativity, and people who value human life by recognizing the inequalities in labour and material security under capitalism. Narratives that reproduce the idea that people are just fundamentally impure and can't stick to their values just strengthens liberalism's claim to morality.

      What GTA-like games do you enjoy by indie devs? 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/

      Contractville is janky as hell and not anywhere near the scale of GTA. But it is damn 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.

          Motor Town is a behemoth, I have driven so many urgent taxi jobs I put myself on the taxi leader board for a hot minute without intending too... with all the driving I did manual not autopilot which I am not sure many of the other drivers higher taxi level than me do... lol Yeah, Motor Town is GOOD.

              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 🤷‍♂️ So I'm playing Outer Worlds 2 instead rn.

              I'm the same way. I might have got BF6, I played the beta and fell in love cause it felt like BC2 which was my favorite BF game. Sadly the hoops I had to jump through to even get it to work on a *windows* system, let alone getting it to work on my Debian system, combined with the price tag was enough to hard push me away from buying it. It's a shame because the game was stupid levels of fun, and felt organic. They just are out-casting their userbase by their decisions to block Non-Windows systems.

                                Screenshots of employee devices, having a mole in the group, etc etc? We all know there's a million ways to gain information about people online, there's literally a dozen comms on lemmy about privacy and protecting your info. Your critical thinking cap is more like a conspiracy theory cap. It's not impossible discord collaborated with rockstar, but it's fucking unlikely. What would discord even have to gain from it that's worth the risk?

                                      So you're implying to me, a mole managed acquire what Discord has in it's database, and managed to 1:1 identify employees and rat them out, instead of just bribing Discord to give them GEOlocation and MAC address information… >What would discord even have to gain from it that’s worth the risk? Money. [GTA is one of the most famous genre people make groups for](https://disboard.org/search?keyword=gta). Why would you turn down a whale rancher's bribe to identify employees willing to negotiate for better conditions when your [rancher is a billionaire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take-Two_Interactive) that can buy you?

                                        Schreier couldn't be bothered to list what the employees positions were. Gonna take a wild guess they weren't devs

                                          Thanks for the recommendations! Especially Easy Red 2 👀 I am a big fan of the Red Orchestra/Rising Storm series and there is a mod coming out soon for Rising Storm 2 called Black Orchestra that I'm planning to fill the Battlefield shaped hole in my heart with. It's in beta right now, but you best believe I'll be letting *everyone* know about it when it hits steam.
