PC Gamer (12 November, by Lincoln Carpenter) says the Game Content Rating Board (GCRB) reviewed GTA 6 three times. At the first review on 10 September the vote was tied 3-3, the decision was postponed and Rockstar was recommended to modify the game. A second review on 2 October was postponed again. On 16 October the board granted an Adults Only rating by an 8-1 vote. Members who objected said the “out-of-context” genital exposure seemed beyond acceptable limits and could set a precedent for other games. The report is based on GCRB meeting minutes obtained by the Korean outlet Inven, relayed by Kotaku. PC Gamer reports no Rockstar comment and no change made by Rockstar.Is this real?
