It was a weak ass excuse on Microsoft's part. GTA having a black lead didn't stop Rockstar from making the most money in their history at that point, on top of it being the most revered GTA to this day.
gta has more universal audience

"fukk san andreas, I aint playing that shyt cause CJ is black" said nobody ever

plus rednecks simply do not have the mental capacity to understand RPGs so putting a black woman on the cover really wouldnt have hurt their bottom line

You are remembering what was said about SA very differently than how it went down back then :mjpls:

How fukking long have you been gaming? Tons of people bytched about San Andreas because CJ was black. Go look up archives. shyt ton of racist shyt. Even to this day I've seen people talk slick about the game and how they didn't want to play as a gangsta. Just look at the shyt Mafia III has been getting this past year. People bytching because the main character is half black and it isn't stereotypical Italian Mob related. Then you have people who shytted on Saints Row for being gangsta even though you could be any race in it. Those same people turned their nose up at the game and now suck it off since it became another generic scifi game that advertises the main character as white. Look at the commercials for Saints Rows 1-4. 1 and 2 advertised character customization and different races. The protagonists used in the promo material was black in 2. In 3,4 and GOH? White guy. Generic white guy is advertised. I think 3 may have advertised a generic white girl in the commercial but promo material is a white dude.
