GTA 6's Relationship Mechanic Is 'Cheating' on Your Real-Life Partner and Break Up Worthy, According to Angry Spouses
A bunch of angry spouses on social media believe that Grand Theft Auto 6's in-depth relationship mechanic is equivalent to cheating on your real life partner and worth breaking up over.
Recent media previews of Grand Theft Auto 6 have revealed an in-depth relationship mechanic between the game's protagonists, Jason and Lucia. Players can nurture this relationship by taking Lucia on dates, doing crimes together, texting, and even holding hands. This mechanic has sparked outrage among some spouses on social media, who believe it is equivalent to cheating on their real-life partners.
Concerned TikTok users have stated that they would not allow their partner to play the game, as it requires maintaining a relationship with a character in the video game. Rockstar, the game's developer, has clarified that players do not have to engage with this aspect of the game if they do not want to. However, if players choose to pursue the relationship, they will receive more mileage out of the game.
Rockstar has not confirmed if players can have sex with the characters outside of scripted story moments, but they are exploring the possibility of implementing physical intimacy in a way that feels right.
