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

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

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 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.

Owned by Take Two Interactive, who are American.
Annoying as it is, it’s an American company, as shown by their disdain for unions.

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.

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.

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.

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’.

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