Rockstar Games has stirred up a great commotion by announcing that the release of Grand Theft Auto VI will be the “biggest game launch in history” in less than a year. With the release date scheduled for next year, expectations and excitement among fans are reaching peak levels.

However, not everyone shares the enthusiasm for the new title. Steven Ogg, known for portraying Trevor Philips in GTA V, has surprised many by stating that he feels no excitement for the arrival of GTA VI. In a recent interview with YouTuber HarrisonShippp, Ogg emphasized that he has never played video games and that, therefore, “he feels absolutely nothing” regarding Rockstar’s upcoming release.
Ogg also made an unusual comparison when responding to a suggestion to play GTA V, alluding to Dostoevsky’s work Crime and Punishment. He criticized the way value is often assigned to video games, suggesting that asking someone who doesn’t play about this medium is similar to asking the opinion of someone who doesn’t read about literature. Although his point could be interpreted as valid, his response has been considered pretentious by many.
Despite Ogg’s indifference, it seems that interest in GTA VI continues to grow, as Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, the protagonist of Crime and Punishment, would surely find a fascinating virtual ecosystem in the world of current video games, especially with the imminent arrival of GTA VI.
With every new piece of information leaked about the game, the gaming community remains expectant, while Rockstar’s development promises to be a milestone in the history of video games. Undoubtedly, the conversation about GTA VI is far from over.
