In recent global news, one of the most tragic incidents was none other than the disappearance of OceanGate’s Titanic expedition submersible, which resulted in the sad end of five adventurers under the terrifying depths of the deep ocean. But before the flames of this tragic incident could die down, a group of modders in the GTA community thought it would be funny to capitalize on the tragedy.

Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto, aka GTA, is one of the most popular PC game franchises in the world. The series is known for its inclusive nature, mainly due to its modding community. But there are times when the avid fans of these groups go a little further than they should, and they end up invoking controversies and severe criticism.

The Titan submersible vessel, designed by OceanGate, plunged into the depths of despair, claiming the lives of five. This devastating incident unfolded shortly after the submersible’s grand launch on a fateful Sunday, as confirmed by the United States Coast Guard on a sorrowful Thursday. The OceanGate Expeditions vessel disappeared without a trace, vanishing into the unforgiving embrace of the deep ocean, approximately 435 miles (700 kilometers) off the captivating coast of Newfoundland, Canada, on that haunting Sunday night.
