A GAMING franchise centred on enacting criminal violence against innocents seems to be so beautiful it could heal the world, fans believe.
Following a gameplay reveal for Grand Theft Auto VI on Thursday, gamers are confident that when the full game is released in November all unnecessary conflict in our embattled world will cease in favour of wholesale murder in a video game.
Gamer Jack Browne, aged 18, says: “I was just a boy when I watched my father rain leaden death onto shoppers in San Andreas, but I remember it as a purer, happier time.
“Back then, before Brexit, before Trump, there was no division. No matter what your race or gender identity, you could carjack a taxi, drive through a pedestrianised area then mow down survivors with an Uzi. And it brought people together.
“We all need the same hope shown by the game’s star-crossed felons blazing their own trail in a thankless world. Taking part in motiveless killing sprees in a digital Miami will make us realise there’s more uniting us than dividing us.
“I’ll never feel closer to my dad, knowing we’re both annoyed to play as a female lead character but shooting our way through it. I can’t wait to show his proud face what I learned.”
A spokesman for manufacturers Rockstar said: “It will bring peace and harmony to all nations, and that was always our intention.”
