  "account": "GTA 5 players have discovered that adding a gang notoriety system to the game leads to bizarre outcomes. The system allows gangs to get angry with players, similar to how police chase wanted criminals. The report subject tested this feature in Grove Street, where he observed that, while wanted stars appeared on the minimap, gang members began targeting each other instead of their original adversary. At one point, a Ballas member even summoned a rottweiler, seemingly perplexed by the chaotic situation. The player noticed that, despite the gangs being hostile towards him, they eventually lost interest in his character and started fighting among themselves. The report highlights the unusual behavior of GTA 5's gang members when notoriety is introduced.",
