I wonder if the next one will take so long that the world it satirises is long gone. Facebook being parodied in GTA V no longer makes much sense, for example

Why doesn’t Facebook make sense to parody anymore? It’s still out there

The world's relationship with Facebook has changed a smidge since 2013.
It's still ripe for parody, but the elements of relevance aren't the same as they were.

This game is set in Florida. It’s pretty evergreen. Especially given the political climate for the past 8 years

… Untill Florida gets absolutely wiped out by a combo of its housing market and tourism economy simultaneously eating shit (this is currently occuring), and then also gets slammed a oh i dunno, a series of near record breaking hurricanes … in a record breaking short amount of time, and then can’t rebuild because FEMA either doesn’t exist or is massively underfunded.
Oh and way more people will die, and there will be way more property damage than there otherwise would be… becauase all the agencies and funding that went into tracking hurricanes just got cut to almoat nothing.
Its been … what, over a decade, between GTA V and 6’s planned releaae date?
I’d say that chances are actually quite good that within 10 years after 2026, Florida becomes essentially a mostly destroyed disaster zone, with maybe a few parts of semi-civilization… like a swampy version of the first Mad Max movie.
