Wording edit

"follow criminal duo Lucia and her male partner" sounds faulty. Should it be something like "duo consisting of"? --Gert7 (talk · contribs) 20:54, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

In the lead? The full text of "...the story is expected to follow criminal duo Lucia and her male partner" sounds fine to me. - X201 (talk) 21:10, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps "... the criminal duo of Lucia and her male partner"? IceWelder [] 21:22, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think that might work best; I made the change. Once we officially know her male partner's name, the original phrasing will make more sense. Rhain (he/him) 23:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Says 16th entry, when in reality it's the 17th? edit

I don't have the power to change this, but I do have proof! GTA - 1, GTA: L1969 - 2, GTA: L1961 - 3, GTA 2 - 4, GTA 3 - 5, GTA: VC - 6, GTA: SA - 7, GTAA - 8, GTA: LCS - 9, GTA: VCS - 10, GTA IV - 11, GTA IV: TLAD - 12, GTA IV: TBOGT - 13, GTA V - 14, GTA O - 15, GTA VI - 16, TopazianFounder (talk) 17:45, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

You... uh... never mind. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 21:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I believe sixteenth entry is working under the belief that Online is not its own instalment but part of GTA V. Rhain (he/him) 23:11, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
If their count is correct, VI being the 16th entry has Online as its own game. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 01:51, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good point; they completely missed Chinatown Wars. Add that, remove Online, and then VI is sixteenth. Rhain (he/him) 01:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I think Online should be considered its own thing if every Madden can be considered its own thing. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 02:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
The comparison would be more apt if Madden NFL 24 was included as a fully playable mode within Madden NFL 23. However—despite appearances—it is not, and they separate entries. Rhain (he/him) 02:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Kotaku article edit

The recent Kotaku article has been garnering some scrutiny because it offers no concrete information or sources for ita subject matter. It cites last month's Bloomberg and Aftermath article, but what they have are anecdotal as neither state that GTA VI is falling behind.

The reference is used in the "Development" section and thus, should be removed. 2A02:A03F:CA3F:2D00:F93A:3812:2050:7DB9 (talk) 12:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

The Kotaku article attributes its information several times to its sources. Bloomberg and Aftermath are mentioned as additional background, not as sources for Kotaku's information. Rhain (he/him) 13:00, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Bloomberg and Aftermath are cited in sections of the article about crunch so it’s irrelevant if those articles make mention of a possible delay.
Moreover, it seems that Kotaku are the ones being told about a possible delay (judging by the author's use of "At the moment, I’m told that Rockstar" in paragraph 6). While this might be hearsay, Kotaku are careful to note that there is so far only speculation about a delay, and that is mentioned in the development section of the Wikipedia article.

confused about the last paragraph edit

Hello, The last paragraph is confusing. It states there was a 17-year-old with autism who was arrested and charged with the hack. The articles cited--[95] and [99] both mention an 18 year old with autism and an unnamed 17 year old who was also involved. Damien.Otis.x (talk) 00:03, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

The immediate sources after his age is first stated—96 and 97 in this revision—verify that he was 17 when arrested. I believe he was 18 by the time he stood trial. Rhain (he/him) 00:57, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Male "partner...?" edit

The particularly high usage of the term "partner" paints an inconsistent reception. The two are largely ostensibly romantically involved, so changing partner to "boyfriend" would be more logically sound. 125.30.44.43 (talk) 02:08, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

As far as I know, it has not been confirmed if the two are romantically involved. We don't even officially know his name yet. Partner is suitable in the sense that they are associates and/or work together. LouisOrr27 (talk) 19:31, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
