Rockstar and the decision to close both online servers are supported to support Black Lives Matter traffic and black communities. This comes amid ongoing protests against the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on May 25, and demanding demonstrators around the world to reform the police in America and hold police accountable for the deaths.
