Grand Theft Auto is beloved by Lower to Lower Middle Class America

I follow an instagram account called Pubity. It has 40 million followers. They are constantly putting out posts on GTA 6. Everyone in the comments is seething to get the game, many adults. I can't imagine being a grown man over 30 years old and dying for this game to come account. My opinion is that it is lower and middle class America seething. I don't think degreed, working 35 year olds are seething for this. I often click on the accounts to see who is making these comments, and it's guys who look like they have no degree living in an apartment for the rest of their life.
These classes are more prone to violence, so it allows them to live out this fantasy they have without getting in actual trouble. I am very much convinced of this.
Compare this to an NCAAF 2026, I imagine is a very different target audience. If you were to compare the average earning of a GTA 6 vs NCAAFB 2026 gamers, I'd assume a substantial difference.

Bro, it’s a fun game where you drive around, do crimes, and kill people with enough humor and character development to make it work. It’s wish fulfillment and power fantasy in a world recognizable as similar enough to our own to be relatable, but just different enough to provide escapism and detachment. The series tends to run a tightrope of being simultaneously grounded, silly, over the top, not take itself too seriously, but still tell great stories with emotional stakes and payoff. GTA is a franchise that has been around for almost 20 years. It appeals to almost everyone in some capacity.

This might be the most boomer post of all time on here. Stop worrying about what other people do and worry about yourself, it will help a lot

Ah yes, the best selling video game franchise, is particularly beloved by Lowe class Americans. And middle class Americans. And upper class. And non Americans. Anybody that plays video games.

This is easily one of the snobbiest and douchiest posts I’ve ever seen on this entire website
People of all races, ages, creeds, and socioeconomic statuses enjoy GTA. That’s why the last one literally made around $10 billion

It is really fricking cringe and reaks of coastal elitism. I dont like GTA that much but im not a prick and it is like the most popular game ever so my opinion doesnt mean shite

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

You would probably be wrong. If you did a quick Internet search, both games are in the 18-34 age group of dominance and middle-class for wealth. NCAA skews to a more male audience and college educated, if you want to hang your hat on that.

GTA V has sold more than 215 million copies, while NCAA is around 5 million copies sold. Letting AI do the work for us -

Step-by-Step Estimation
1. Player Base Sizes
NCAA 25: Estimated 5–5.5 million players
GTA V: Over 215 million copies sold, with tens of millions still active
2. Demographic Overlap
Both games appeal primarily to:
Males aged 18–34
Console gamers (PS5, Xbox Series X|S)
U.S.-based players, though GTA V has a broader global audience
These shared demographics suggest significant overlap.
3. GTA V’s Cultural Ubiquity
GTA V is arguably one of the most universally played games among gamers in this demographic.
In the U.S., it’s likely that a majority of console-owning male gamers aged 18–34 have played GTA V at some point.
? Estimated Probability
Let’s define:
A = Player has played NCAA 25
B = Player has played GTA V
We're looking for P(B|A): the probability a person has played GTA V given they played NCAA 25
Reasoned Estimate:
Given the size and demographics of both player bases, a conservative estimate would be:
?? P(B|A) ˜ 70%–85%
This means 7 to 8.5 out of 10 NCAA 25 players have likely played GTA V, at least at some point.
Factors That May Increase or Decrease This
Increase likelihood:
If the player is under 35 and owns a console
If the player has been gaming for more than 5 years
Decrease likelihood:
If the player only recently started gaming or sticks strictly to sports titles
If the player has ethical or parental objections to violent/open-world content
?? Final Estimate (Rounded):
?? There’s about a 75–80% chance that a player of NCAA 25 has also played GTA V.
Let me know if you'd like a more detailed model or survey-based approach.

i dont particularly care for GTA, and am not anticipating its release, and may not even play it so i got no dog in this fight.
what does this have to do with your initial argument at all? I am also not sure what point you are trying to make. I can guarantee you GTA6 gross income will dwarf anything else outside of some of the huge online games like fortnite.

I'm not even looking forward to the next one, just not my cup of tea, but...
You enjoy the smell of your own farts don't you?

The saddest part, is many of these dildos, role play this game
They can't interact with humans in the real world, so they become a character and live his life thru GTA. It's sad and pathetic. No wonder so many of these idiots are cross dressing and having pronouns
