Since GTA Online launched, the citizens of Los Santos have been free to assign any name to their CEO organization. But it looks like Rockstar Games is now blocking controversial names, specifically after the release of the Bottom Dollar Bounties update.
This came to light when a Reddit user “7joetaylor” reported that the game developers have added censorship to the names of the CEO organizations. The user had assigned an offensive name “Drugs ‘n’ Stuff” to his organization in the game which mysteriously disappeared after eight long years, just after the arrival of the recent update.
As a result, the organization’s name was automatically reset to “An organization” and the user encountered an error when trying to include the offensive keyword “Drugs” in the organization name.
However, not everyone is in favor of this decision, as some players pointed out the irony that the game allows them to participate in illegal activities such as drug trafficking, prostitution and violence, while at the same time censoring the names of the organizations. . They also noted that a large number of new words have been added to the chat’s censorship list, including swear words in several languages.
While this isn’t the first time GTA Online developers have banned offensive words, it’s surprising that Rockstar also bans terms that aren’t actually unpleasant. Words like Mininova, Piratebay, Demonoid and other piracy-related terms are also banned in the game.
So far, we know that players encounter errors when trying to use bold names in GTA Online. Rockstar Games will likely begin imposing bans on players who repeatedly attempt to assign offensive names to their CEO organizations or use banned words in server chat. Bottom line: Rockstar takes player profanity in GTA Online seriously, even if it doesn’t hold up to the same standard.
