Doom scrolling social media looks to have replaced the age-old pasttime of watching TV in GTA 6, which has prompted feelings of alternating despair and increasing irrelevance in me this morning.

Of course, TV watching may yet have been preserved beyond what we've seen so far in the first trailer for GTA 6, but even if it's been consigned to the bin of modern history, there might yet be one light in the TikTok-esque darkness to make GTA 6's in-game social media network worthwhile.

Rockstar Games has been known to deliver in the past — the studio's most recent major venture, is one example of widespread acclaim — which might make seem like a sure bet. Examining wider circumstances, however, reveals just how much potential for disappointment the upcoming title could hold.
