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.

I would suggest that if your boyfriend/girlfriend is cheating on you in a video game, maybe you should look inward and find out why…

    You literally have to maintain a relationship with a girl [in] the video game and text her, and she’ll get mad if you don’t text her back.

    I guess Rockstar took a lesson from Starfield and is trying to make every aspect of the game as tedious as possible?

      I guess if you want to think of it that way? You had to take care of your horse in RDR2 as well but it never felt tedious like Starfield, it felt like immersion.

        Yeah, there’s good ways to do it.

        Personally, I don´t like GTA after Vice City (San Andreas on) exactly because it gets bogged down in simulating the aspects of life I’d either rather do in in real life or avoid entirely. A high maintenance GF falls into the latter category.
