GTA 6 writer says the series has never had "much focus on national politics" beyond GTA 4's war on terror, and the latest entry won't get "too specific"

Rockstar senior vice president of narrative Rupert Humphries said the GTA series has never had "much focus on national politics" beyond GTA 4's Homeland Security and Patriot Act themes, and that GTA 6 won't get "too specific" about any particular person, event, or movement. He said the studio's satire of Florida aims to be "larger than life" rather than a direct mirror of the real world, and described the American dream today as perhaps just a house and paid-off loans. Rockstar is also currently in an employment tribunal over its firing of 34 developers last year.
