There is nothing new under the sun, as it says in Ecclesiastes, and while the internet was losing its collective mind over the second GTA 6 trailer, two thoughts trickled across my neurons. The first was "that sounds a lot like Stephen Root, two-time winner of the gruffest dad competition," while the second was "wait, hang on – are we going to get a bartending minigame?"
This second thought spurred from one otherwise fairly throwaway scene. You may have noticed the line Lucia says "trust me, this place is just the start for us", followed by another character exuberantly shouting "ring the bell!" at a bar opening. We don't know what they're celebrating, but all of this makes me wonder whether Grand Theft Auto 6 has taken notice of some other games in its oeuvre, which often feature elements of business management. One recent example of this is Schedule 1, where you quite literally launder money by buying a launderette. An even better example of this is the Yakuza franchise – specifically Yakuza 0.
