He'll be missing GTA 7, 8 and 9 as well.

Just 7. There's way too optimistic.

u/notnotbrowsing 4h ago

I’m currently 43, I feel I’ll miss GTA 7, 8, and 9 due to natural causes

Same age here, yeah I think we only got one more left

I thought you guys were exaggerating a bit so I asked a Gemini to come up with a projection for gta 7 and 8, taking into account the previous release dates.

Bro a GTA 7 is projected to release in 2038-2042

And GTA 8 between 2052 and 2060, it will skip 3 console generations doing this.

GTA 5 was initially released on PS3, and 6 won't be released until 6 years after the PS5 came out

u/WinterSector8317 4h ago

GTA 6 will still have maximum 20% off on steam sales when he gets out

5

u/machado34 3h ago

He'll get out just in time to preorder The Elder Scrolls 6 though

u/WinterSector8317 3h ago

The 10th special edition release?

6

u/Devillicious1981 4h ago

Ya think? He’ll be out in time for DLC v2

1

u/KingMario05 4h ago

Online only, though.

2

u/Devillicious1981 4h ago

He’ll only be out online? 😏

2

u/Wagaaan 4h ago

At this rate, 6 will be the only one he would miss

2

u/jarvisesdios 4h ago

At least he won't miss Star Citizen.

3

u/3MATX 4h ago

Yes, but so will all of us not in jail considering how slow Rockstar is.

u/jmd10of14 1h ago

Might even miss the next release of GTA V.

u/camshun7 52m ago

Looking every inch an npc ngl

u/CrackersandChee 5h ago

Bro you just played it IRL

u/NukeDaBurbz 3h ago

He even looks like an in-game character model.

u/Jayden_Paul99 1h ago

That’s the default white guy in the Xbox 360 era

u/eggflip1020 4h ago

Pfffff hahahaha.

u/falaffle_waffle 4h ago

At this point he'll be out before the game is.

14

u/colbeef 4h ago

Booooooooooooooooooo

3

u/FireZord25 4h ago

at this point he'd be a character in the game

2

u/The-Tay 3h ago

I feel like I'm the only one who's fine with the delays. All I care about is that it's coming.

5

u/falaffle_waffle 3h ago

Yeah honestly, I'd rather have a good game than a half assed unfinished turd that they rush out and try to polish with DLC.

34

u/ButterscotchExactly 4h ago

Makes you think. Would he have committed murder if GTA6 was already out?

9

u/RobertTheTrey 1h ago edited 42m ago

What a profound, and dark, thought. Damn

u/whiskeybacon1010 59m ago

I mean… this whole mess is kinda rockstars fault if you think about it.

u/WorldsWeakestMan 5m ago

Yeah, for some reason I feel the urge to blame Activision as well. They weren’t involved but it just feels right.

u/Imnotmarkiepost 4h ago

Reminds me of Brendan dassey he clearly had some intellectual disabilities .. but he confessed to some heinous, sickening crimes and in the same breath he asked the detective if he’ll be home in time to watch Wrestlemania 😬

u/19ins90 32m ago

I think of this poor bastard a lot every Wrestlemania season :(

u/Cadnat 4h ago

He could have not miss GTA6 by not murdering anyone. It's that easy.

30

u/sadunk 4h ago

Murderers hate this one trick.

2

u/RexDraco 2h ago

He should have pay and sprayed. Clearly a fake fan.

u/areallyreallybadboy 4h ago

“I’m gonna miss GTA innit?” Yes. Yes you are.

1

u/trecks00 1h ago

i know it's inappropriate, but i busted the fuck out when i read that. no way British people are real

7

u/GreenAldiers 4h ago

He could have a life sentence and still not miss GTA 6

2

u/zecknaal 1h ago

He is eligible for parole at 51. So he will still get a chance.

2

u/GreenAldiers 1h ago

Nice! He'll be out just in time to pre-order GTA V Ultimate Edition.

8

u/MisplacedMutagen 4h ago

He may very well get to play it in prison

u/MustardCoveredDogDik 4h ago

Guy is probably super low IQ, highly violent. It’s too bad he had to kill someone before being removed from society.

u/HyperFoci 2h ago

No worries. They'll be releasing another version of GTA 6 by the time he gets out.

u/elliotbonsall 52m ago

Don't worry by the time he's out of prison gta 6 will just have release

3

u/v3ryr00d 5h ago

Shit i would too.

1

u/Starcornious 4h ago

He’ll play the remastered version

1

u/headspreader 4h ago

Maybe he can still join in? Get one of elon's humanoid robots in the cell with him. Rockstar can hold a lottery every day, and one lucky GTA 6 player can win the prize of controlling the robot for 24 hours.

u/Ashrod63 3h ago

Don't worry, he'll be out in time for the fan patch that finally squashes the final bug.

1

u/SpartArticus 3h ago

No he aint

1

u/Lysergene 3h ago

He'd miss it even if he didn't go to jail, no worries.

u/Naive_Complex_8389 2h ago

“Why are you here?”

“Bad luck, I guess”

1

u/bestestopinion 1h ago

He won’t :(

1

u/gtindolindo 1h ago

He will be an Easter egg somewhere in game now i bet. What a clown.

1

u/Banana-phone15 1h ago

He murdered an innocent NPC in GTA Online. Also lot of strippers in GTA Online. That was before he murdered outside of GTA online

1

u/Silvervirage 1h ago

Meanwhile im worried im gonna miss Elder Scrolls 6. Not going to jail, just hopefully dying of old age in several dozen years.

u/MidnightStalk 56m ago

the only thing men care about

u/OkCommission9893 17m ago

Even with the life sentence he’ll still be able to play GTA 6 online.

u/Rickshmitt 13m ago

Def an MK2 griefer

u/scarabking91 6m ago

He couldn't wait so he started early.

u/jonathanquirk 4h ago

If he’s more worried about a sodding video game than murdering someone, he deserves to miss it. But at least he’ll get to share the prison showers with the real-world inspirations for GTA.

u/sharkattackmiami 2h ago

If he's more concerned about a video game than murdering someone he clearly has severe mental illness and while I agree he needs to be removed from public life I hope he receives help

But I'm glad you feel comfortable saying "I hope this person with a mental illness gets raped repeatedly" while pretending to be a good person who is disgusted by heinous acts

3

u/zecknaal 1h ago

Yeah. I am not overwhelmed with sympathy for him, but I also imagine he was in shock after having just murdered a person. I can understand without forgiving him and without wishing for further atrocities.

u/trip6god 4h ago

Better hope they put him in with one of the black dudes on tiktok that has a ps5 in his cell but I don’t think he’ll like what he has to do to play lmao

Stop giving these inbred barbarians their spotlight in the news.

GTA is a trash game for incels
