GTA VI Will Longhouse its Audience | HBR News 567

"Chronic bitulism. Not botulism — it's not bacterial, it's a completely different bug. A condition of chronic irrational irritability in which one draws connections between unrelated thoughts and facts, to support a continued bad mood."

Brian, Hannah Wallen and Dr Randomercam on GTA VI, and a bond system that tracks time spent together, text replies and mutual attentiveness — with those numbers feeding into story outcomes.

Also: the Red Dead patch that penalised players for killing the suffragette, and what the panel reads into a developer doing that; obituaries for Tim Curry, Dolly Parton and Peter Cullen, plus a game of guessing which of the three said what; and a viewer reporting a TikTok defence of Lindsey Clancy — "let's not think about her children as living people for a second, let's think of them as vases."
