FRENCHRAPUS wrote that GTA 6 was supposed to be released on November 19, in a month, after more than 12 years of waiting. Jokingly, he advised avoiding arguments, suspicious food, and using a phone while driving, wearing a seatbelt, looking both ways before crossing, and being wary of people asking to be trusted. He added that one should not waste the last 30 days before the release. #GTA6 #JeuxVidéo #RockstarGames (translated)

Conkerax indicated that video game stores and other businesses had been looted or damaged throughout France. He mentioned the independent stores Trader Games and Sat Elite, located in République, and lamented the destruction of old stock, notably of games and consoles that he described as an irreplaceable video game heritage. Saying that he regularly visits these stores and supports the merchants he presents, he emphasized that families and businesses unrelated to the claims had also been affected. He referred to a video showing a person being struck in the back in front of a Micromania store and estimated that this violence harmed the cause of the demonstrators, whose demands he believed could be overshadowed by the damage. Conkerax said he was thinking of the businesses that would have to completely rebuild or even close, and shared a fund dedicated to Sat Elite. https://t.co/Yq0xbgTmLz #soutiencommerçants #jeuxvidéo #France (translated)

Conkerax indicated that many video game stores had been affected throughout France, including independent shops like Trader Games and Sat Elite, which he described as mythical brands of République. He said that stores had been looted and vandalized, and that boxes of games and old consoles had been found scattered or damaged. He wondered why these businesses had been targeted and what their owners had done to deserve it. According to him, these shops were already struggling to survive in the current context of video gaming and sometimes housed remarkable collector's items.

FRENCHRAPUS reported that Rockstar Games responded to criticism regarding a bottle that appeared to teleport in the GTA 6 trailer.
