When the news first broke that Rockstar employees would have to return to the office, some fans cheered the decision, suggesting that increased proximity and oversight would somehow make Grand Theft Auto VI better

I am not willing to believe that anyone is this stupid.

  In my experience one should never underestimate the spitefulness of gamers who think that game devs should suffer for their entertainment.
