It's a fair point, GTA V is released and suddenly 7 years later there's an increase in carjackings. Who can argue with that?

- nihil75 6y agoActually, this is the aftershock of GTA 1 being released in 1997. They're finally ripe!
- georgecmu 6y agoThose kids have grown up.
- ttul 6y agoI think there is also a strong correlation between the integer value of the year and the prevalence of carjacking in Chicago.
- medium_burrito 6y agoI recall GTA having way less cops than in real life too, which definitely is what is happening in a lot of cities. On the plus side, perhaps I can mount flamethrowers on my subaru and live out my 90s childhood fantasies if big US cities keep on going down this path.
- Sebb767 6y ago> I recall GTA having way less cops than in real life too, which definitely is what is happening in a lot of cities. Are you sure about that? I saw a lot of patrolling police in the game, which would be highly unusual for all cities I lived in. Additionally, getting a wanted star makes police appear nearly immediately - while in real live I've seen times from a few minutes (urgent situations) to an hour and beyond (for minor traffic accidents). So I'd argue the police is far more present in GTA.
- coding123 6y agoWell it has had a resurgence too. When I open Twitch randomly it seems like 80% of the streams are GTA V for some reason. It wasn't like that a few months ago.
- k12sosse 6y agoRole-play GTA is what you're seeing. The gaming industry is that stale these days.
- King-Aaron 6y agoIt's understandable, I got GTA Online from Epic for free a few months ago and already I've stolen 134% more cars
- rsj_hn 6y agoThat was such a fun game. Is it worth getting on PS5?
