Why does it need a “six” on the “VI” in the logo. Do gamers struggle reading roman numerals?

[–] rnd@beehaw.org 16 points 1 month ago

That's not the actual GTA VI logo, but some fan creation. The logo in the actual trailer seems to consist of the standard GTA logo with a colorful "VI" in a bold sans-serif behind it.

Well it could be that this is GTA 66?

What is the problem with the literal "6" figure, that you specifically mention this? I prefer using numerals, but that comes from a programming standpoint and so it becomes the default way of numbering things. Also sorting with roman is also an issue. It's just a habit.

Do gamers struggle reading roman numerals?

Why making a problem out of nothing and then asking a question with an implicit attack? That guy just used a numeral, that's all. There is no deep psychological background and that gamers suddenly have a problem with roman numerals.

Man this is Twitter level of shit talk!

GTA Peace is kind of weirdly named for the content of the game. Maybe it's meant to be ironic?

I wonder what the overflow value of a signed Roman numeral is...

GTA V has a banner over the V with "five" on it, so likely they took inspiration from that.
