Why does it need a “six” on the “VI” in the logo. Do gamers struggle reading roman numerals?

What is the problem with the literal “6” figure, that you specifically mention this? I prefer using numerals, but that comes from a programming standpoint and so it becomes the default way of numbering things. Also sorting with roman is also an issue. It’s just a habit.

Why making a problem out of nothing and then asking a question with an implicit attack? That guy just used a numeral, that’s all. There is no deep psychological background and that gamers suddenly have a problem with roman numerals.

Man this is Twitter level of shit talk!

GTA V has a banner over the V with “five” on it, so likely they took inspiration from that.
