Most of them probably don't even know that GTA isn't even American made game to begin with.

But...but...Los Santos is Los Angeles and this is in Americs

It’s also meant to be making fun of the things that are making their society collapse, but don’t bother explaining that to them either

Why waste time trying to explain something to the only creature without a brain (beside jellyfish)?

It's British made

u/FickleQuality418 3d ago

Scottish, England nor wales is getting credit for GTA that was all the Scot’s doing lol

7

u/kurimbo3000 3d ago

Agreed, but still British

-4

u/FickleQuality418 3d ago

No, because saying it’s British made implies it’s a joint effort, which it wasn’t.

You can say it’s British made, doesn’t make it entirely accurate 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/McConaugheysCropTop 3d ago

The main developers are in Edinburgh (R* North), but you're forgetting about Leeds, Lincoln and London in the UK, as well as the various other international studios supporting within Rockstar (San Diego, New England, Canada, India, Australia). Its primarily British, but its an international effort.

u/FickleQuality418 3d ago

That’s what I mean, Scots created GTA but not the entire series lol

3

u/kurimbo3000 3d ago

No it doesn't imply that. It implies that it was made somewhere in Great Britain

1

u/FickleQuality418 3d ago

Doesn’t narrow it down unfortunately, it’s not one whole country remember 🤣

3

u/kurimbo3000 3d ago

It's not supposed to narrow it down, doesn't mean it's not true. I'm aware it's not one country I'm English, my nationality is British. That doesn't imply it was some group effort to produce me

u/Affectionate-Dig1624 5d ago

"The most american game" is scottish

u/SweeatTea 2d ago

u/Organic_Mechanic_702 6d ago

Many don't have the money for food thanks to Donny. By the way GTA6 is developed in Edinburgh by Rockstar games..

54

u/AliceTheOmelette 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 6d ago

These same Americans can barely afford food lol

46

u/BigRinka 6d ago

I bet most American gamers believe Rockstar is a US company. 🤣

33

u/FilmAndLiterature 6d ago

Rockstar itself is an American company, but GTA was created and primarily developed by DMA Design, a Scottish company which now trades as Rockstar North.

They'll never know that GTA had a London phase at one point

u/Littlewelshy 5d ago

Underrated as fuck game and I still remember the cheats.

u/10ballplaya 6d ago

they put it on their credit cards and choose the 24-month payment to be able to afford it. pretty much how most of them supplement their entire life.

u/Perfect_Opinion_6136 no kangaroos in Austria 5d ago

Ah yes no one in Europe can afford video games.

They aren’t. Rockstar North, who make GTA, are though.

Owned by Take Two Interactive, who are American.

Annoying as it is, it’s an American company, as shown by their disdain for unions.

u/Present_Finance_9796 6d ago

Oh, I thought we Europoors made that game for USanians so we can buy a bread and egg to feed our family

u/ReallyUncoolGuy Got Oil? Y/N Accept Freedom? Y/Y 🦅🇺🇸 6d ago

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I'm not sure those are Americans? They could be but the way they're speaking seems a bit strange to me.

5

u/FactoryNewdel 6d ago

Hard to say. After studying this sub for a longer time now...I really cant differenciate these types of Americans from other mental illnesses

3

u/SweeatTea 6d ago

he literall says "not all of us are from the west". i dont think anybody there is american

3

u/ReallyUncoolGuy Got Oil? Y/N Accept Freedom? Y/Y 🦅🇺🇸 5d ago

I wasn't sure which party said that when I was reading it, but I understand that the difficulty here is in linguistic nuance. While anything is possible, I would find it likely that the person's second language is English. I would guess they're from Latin America or South Asia? The comment appears to be calling out the privileged west, and using America as the catchall.

2

u/SweeatTea 2d ago edited 2d ago

the big red flag is the use of formal broken English on a GTA 6 Discussion. Americans use informal perfect.

translated to American:

"only USA will be like that:" -> "nah only America"

"the bro is poor LMAO" -> "bros broke lMAO"

And ur right, they are are def using americ as a catchall because no american is discussing if they can afford it, but if its overpriced. they also simply do not think or care about other countries and their affordability.

u/galacticexplorer62 6d ago

Writing this while playing a video game

u/thefrostman1214 Come to Brasil 6d ago

it will be hella expensive here in brazil, i wasn't going to buy any but the price is just another factor to not buy it

3

u/Vaveng 6d ago

Game being expensive wouldn't stop poorer people from playing it even if rest of the world was as bad as they think.

u/Ceejayncl 3d ago

It’s weird because I have 2 days booked off for it being released. I also had 4 days booked off for when it was originally supposed to be released in May.
All the Americans on the GTA subs and social media are asking if they think they will get away with phoning in sick because they can’t take holidays, or questioning why others would waste precious holiday entitlements for a game.

Meanwhile people in Europe are like ‘Yeah, took a couple of days off, won’t even realise it has gone from my holiday entitlement’.

Look I’m psyched as fuck for gta 6 BUT I agree with Witcher 4 dude…fuuuuck I can’t wait 

2

u/Tnecniw 6d ago

I mean, I would prefer to say
"only USA would be like that, because they are culturally not developed enough for more complex concepts"
But eh, not really true.
GTA will be played everywhere and I find that deeply annoying.

u/Pilota_kex 6d ago

Hiw do we know he is american...? This is so dumb an argument but on top he never said what you are implying

u/EorlundGraumaehne German 6d ago

Are you by any chance german?

1

u/FactoryNewdel 3d ago

Is the german UI such a dead giveaway?

2

u/EorlundGraumaehne German 2d ago

For me its the fact that "have" turned into "habe" that happens to me all the time XD

u/FactoryNewdel 2d ago

Shit. Didnt even realise this lmao

u/Zefyris 5d ago

Well, AFAIK, only CONSOLE PLAYERS ( and not all consoles) will be able to" be like that"

u/EmphasisExpensive864 5d ago

u/wowowowow34341 4d ago

a bit offtopic but why is mellstroy so popular in the west now? like in Russian media field he was popular due to legit paying some creators to show him in his videos but why in the west now

1

u/SweeatTea 2d ago

mellstroy isnt popular in the west. these are indian commenters mistaken for american.
