Grand Theft Auto V is the greatest value I’ve ever gotten out of a video game, because I’m still playing it nine years later. I don’t mess with GTA Online, because Hell is other people, and I finished GTA V’s story mode not long after the game came out. Then I abused the in-game stock market to make a billion dollars, and then I bought up every possible weapon and vehicle and property and item of clothing in the game. But I still play it now and then, just so I can run around Los Santos as Trevor Philips and f*** s*** up. Being a sociopath in a virtual world against NPCs is great stress relief. It’s completely legal, it doesn’t damage your liver or kidneys, and you’re okay to operate a real-life motor vehicle afterwards.

I’ve been looking forward to the sequel, but this news sounds very dumb:
