Yes, I think GTA is "safe." Maybe they'll make a GTA with a female protagonist, which Saints Row already lets you do. But GTA is already a well-known franchise with several controversies under its belt and it has caved to few, if any of them.

What you're asking for is what you accuse the publishers and developers of doing: pandering, but to you and your desires. I get it. There's loads of things I'd like to see in games that aren't happening right now. There ARE niches, but because of how ridiculously expensive and difficult it is to develop a game, even a…
Dude, calm down.
States that have legalized same-sex marriage have seen economic benefit from all the spending associated with the wedding industry. Since there were laws preventing same-sex marriage, people had to make demands to make it legal, even though a lot of people profit financially from same-sex marriage. But it's taken…
Basically what they are trying to do is the same as defining "rape" and "rape rape." "Domestic violence" to the bros of South Carolina isn't "violence violence."
I suspect the person from the NRA who wrote that piece of copy was not thinking of the victim whose rapist is her husband, boyfriend, co-worker or someone else she knows well. That slogan buys into the "rapist who jumps out of the bushes" myth.
Men claiming to defend their homes from intruders would NEVER exaggerate danger! Only female victims of systemically sex-based violence would ever do that! /s
I am a South Carolina native, lived here my entire life and this is only the tip of the iceberg. I once had a relationship with a man, broke up with him, didn't see his stalking self for months, dated someone else and then the stalker found out. He came to my home, pushed his way in (in front of my child), threatened…
Why don't they just come out and say "Look, Stand Your Ground laws only apply to white people killing scary black people" because that is EXACTLY what they mean. Don't go trying to use these laws to justify, you know, a woman shooting/stabbing her abusive partner, because she either should have know better (if she was…
Wait, so Stand Your Ground is not only racist, but also sexist too?
The market is shaping things like DLC, pay-to-win, endless runners, mobile games, and other much-loathed products of the "casual market." There is no end to whining about these features that some people are going as far as saying they're ruining games. These features would not be persistent if they weren't making…
I think that if we permit the horribly unjust law to apply to cases of domestic abuse, or you know women and minorities killing people which is just never ok, they may be forced to reevaluate the Stand Your Ground law. I don't like Stand Your Ground laws, but to say that it doesn't apply to situations in which women…
God knows I'm not a big fan of Stand Your Ground, but there's something especially infuriating about the fact you're gonna have that kind of law... and then... say it doesn't apply to domestic abuse victims? It just makes me feel like my head's gonna pop off and roll down the stairs.
Silly women. Defense is for men!
Our concern is that the statute makes it very easy for people to shoot or stab first and to then exaggerate their fear or the real danger
Yeah, or people that wake up before sunrise

It does not. There's a huge potential and untapped market for games for varous people, but a lot of developpers still use cookie cutter games. And because of that, a lot of people do not spend the money they could. Asking for more choices and more PC points of view does not force game developpers to deliver. However,…
no, the problem is someone would rather take the chance of possibly causing a wreck than inconvenience themselves by having to double back to the exit they should have used. it happens ALL THE FUCKING TIME. oh damn, i'm about to miss that right turn. let me cross 2 lanes of traffic at the last minute instead of…
this has nothing to do with overtaking, vs not overtaking, anyone.
