It was just mentioned in a YouTube video I watched.

They said that if you log into GTA:Online you can tell players play by a different set of rules than the NPCs.

I was more or less thinking about how players from the start of the game had more opportunities to get toward certain levels which could give off the illusion of a privilege.

Just like in the vast majority of open-world games, then?

Here's the video. I find it interesting how they seemed to forget that Minecraft was banned in Turkey for animal cruelty.

But isnt that because the main character is a criminal?
