While going after GTA 5 and its portrayal of violence in the game, Evans is also pushing for an amendment in United States laws to redefine what constitutes a “violent” video game, and would therefore qualify for a ban. As a result, Evans is now calling for a ban on GTA 5, further labelling it as a “huge issue”, among other things. According to USA’s Republican Marcus Evans Jr of Illinois, games such as GTA 5 promote “psychological harm” and “carjacking”, and therefore qualify as content that promotes violence in the society – both among adults and juniors. However, a new, proposed regulation by an American politician wants to put a stop to the game’s growth and popularity, and set precedent for the rest of the world to follow as well.
Of late, it even ranked as one of the most sold games of all time, after having crossed a purported milestone of 140 million sold copies, and counting. GTA 5 has consistently been one of the most popular video games around.
