Rockstar Replaces GTA Trilogy's Confederate Flag In Remaster - Kotaku
It’s unclear if this means that all depictions of the Confederate flag have been removed from the remasters, though it seems unlikely that Rockstar Games would make that alteration only for the trailer.
A gun freak and drunk, Cassidy appears in GTA III, Vice City, Liberty City Stories, and Vice City Stories.Vice City is where he’s featured the most prominently, however, and it’s the only game in which he’s wearing the Confederate flag on his clothes.
The Confederate flag, long a symbol of Southern states igniting a bloody Civil War in defense of slavery, has recently come under renewed scrutiny as more and more white people realize how racist it is.
