The magic number that puts Mercadona very much ahead of its competition and that has a hidden cost

by

Mercadona has achieved something that seemed impossible in the saturated food distribution sector: A net margin of 3.88% in 2024. Well above not only Spanish or European rivals, but even world giants such as Costco (2.95%), Walmart (2.88%) or Tesco (2.87%). The figure, a trifle compared to other sectors, is stratospheric if we compare it with rivals such as Carrefour, with just 0.93%. Others, such as Dia, Casino or Auchan directly record losses. The supermarket business Historically operates with megic margins (1-2%) compensated for its high volume and cash flow. Mercadona, touching 4%, It is an anomaly. And he has achieved it mainly in the last five years, in which it has gone from 2.7% of 2019 to 3.88% of 2024. In addition, its net benefit has shot 37%, to 1,384 million euros. The 6 keys to unprecedented profitability “Total Efficiency” Model. The figures obey a polished strategy for decades. Juan Roig described the results of 2024 as “from ‘very good’ to ‘spectacular’” during his presentation at the central offices in Paterna. He attributed them to “the good progress of the economy, a great business model and brave decision making,” according to Castellón Plaza. One of Mercadona’s distinctive elements is its commitment to an “efficient assortment.” In other words: a short catalog. Other chains offer between 15,000 and 20,000 references, Mercadona has a rather lower number, prioritizing high -rotation products. It is one of the points that highlights the analysis of Food retaila strategy that “allows you to be more efficient, reach economies of scale and boost the quality of your own brand, all this while offering low prices.” That goes in the next point … Own brand domain. The weight of the distributor brand in Mercadona is overwhelming: its landowner brands, green or deliplus forest represent 58.2% of its sales, according to data from Actuality distribution About 2018. The chain then controlled approximately 44%of the total Spanish market of white brands, far ahead of competitors such as day (16%) or Lidl (11%). This strategy eliminates marketing costs and intermediaries associated with commercial brands. And allows you to set competitive prices without sacrificing margin. Mercadona has constantly invested in improving the quality of these products, developing them together with specialized suppliers to match or overcome the quality of leading brands. A unique relationship with suppliers. The Valencian chain has changed the distributor-professional relationship since the late nineties, when Roig promoted the “interproved” model. As it details INFORETAIL MAGAZINEMercadona “selected a manufacturer by category and granted long -term exclusivity to produce its brands”, working in “open book”: the chain knew the costs of the supplier and jointly set objectives of productivity improvement. Although this model has evolved since 2018 to a broader base of 1,400 “Totaler suppliers“, The philosophy of vertical integration and joint optimization remains. Mercadona negotiates block for all its stores, and that allows you to get conditions that other distributors do not get. The success of this symbiosis is such that, according to The economist“Mercadona suppliers are made of gold”, with growth of more than 10% in their sales during the last year. Logistics and automation. Mercadona operates one of the most sophisticated logistics networks in Europe, with 16 large highly automated blocks that supply their 1,674 supermarkets daily. In 2024, it allocated 276 million euros (26% of its total investment) to strengthen this infrastructure, according to Digital economy. The company has implemented advanced technologies such as the system Figa bridge picking (PPG) In its fresh warehouses, which speeds up the preparation of orders: it allows you to carry fresh products from the field to the store in 24 hours. Less losses and better perceived quality. This obsession with efficiency has raised productivity per employee at 313,545 euros per year, the highest in the sector. Almost null expense and marketing control. Unlike other chains with a lotHere is an example in this house) and not so much to announce products. Trust more on the mouth-a-or and the repetition of purchase. This savings in marketing, which for competitors can mean 1-2% of sales, is direct to the net margin. The company also maintains a relatively simple directive structure. In 2024, he even reduced his management committee to only six members, in front of the sixteen he came to have, according to reports Castellón Plaza. The six members of the Management Committee with Juan Roig in the presentation of results of exercise 2024. That committee came to have sixteen members. Image: Mercadona. No promotions or discounts. Mercadona has no loyalty program, points, coupons or specific discounts. Instead, opt for stable and competitive prices throughout the year. He no longer entrusts his motto ‘Always low prices‘which started at the end of the nineties, and in fact He has explicitly said that it is not his goal to be cheapbut the idea of ​​SPB remains in a certain way: fixed prices instead of specific offers. This saves you promotional marketing costs and constant price changes. In 2024 He reduced 2,000 pricesbut permanently and without this affecting its profitability, according to the company itself. In fact, its gross commercial margin remained stable at 24.7%, confirming that the increase in net profit (37%) compared to sales (9%) is mainly due to internal efficiency improvements, not to make products more expensive. Internationalization problems Mercadona has a 28% market share in Spain and is a baggy leader, but it is having difficulties when leaving other markets. In Portugal he has been for five years but “only” has sixty stores. Although the Portuguese is a market that has begun to give benefits (7 million euros in 2024), Roig has admitted that “it costs a lot” to grow there. As collected The avant -garde“after being forty years in Spain” it is not easy to adapt the model, and international expansion requires “generating managers in the country through internal promotion, which is a long process.” Mercadona has had to adapt its assortment to Portuguese taste and develop a local supplier network. According to Merca2although store sales in Portugal … Read more

Since the end of World War II there have only been two countries with nuclear weapons at war. They just restart it

by

And suddenly, the Indian army has launched An aerial offensive as it is not remembered in a long time against several positions in Pakistan and in the Kashmir administered by Islamabad. As we will see below, the tense story between the two territories came long, but above any other interpretation at this time, there is something that completely changes the hostility between the two nations. He Theme “Nuclear”. Context of a history of distrust. The conflict between India and Pakistan for Cashmerea region of the Himalayas disputed from the partition of India in 1947, has been a Constant source of tensionswars and insurgency between two nations that today have nuclear weapons. Its origin dates back to the decision of Maharajá Hindu of join the territory to India After an incursion of Pakistani militias, which unleashed the first war between the two countries. Since then, military clashes have occurred (1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999), provisional agreements such as the high fire of 1949 and the creation of the “Control line” in 1972as well as repeated reconciliation attempts that have failed, as happened after The Peace Summit of 1999, which was followed months later by a new armed conflict. More deaths. The situation is worsened in 1987 With the emergence of a separatist insurgency in the Indian part of Kashmir, fueled by the political discomfort and support of Pakistan, which led to a decade of intense violence. To get an idea, throughout the years 2000 and 2010, Kashmir more militarized on the planetwith regular bursts of violence. In 2019, after an attack that He killed 40 Indian soldiersIndia responded with Air attacks In Pakistan and, subsequently, the Narendra Modi government suppressed autonomy Constitutional of Kashmira, imposed a communications blackout and arrested thousands of local leaders, causing international criticism, although with the argument of restoring order and reducing terrorism. In April 2025, a brutal attack in which 26 civilians diedmostly Hindu tourists, turned on the polvorín again. India accused terrorists based on Pakistan, although he denied all involvement. A symbolic retaliation. The attack of a few hours ago, An aerial offensive against nine goals in Pakistan And in the Pakistani part of Kashmira, it is a retaliation for the terrorist attack of April 22. The military operation, Baptized Sindor (In reference to the red dust that symbolizes marriage in the Hindu tradition), it was presented by New Delhi as “measure, responsible and non-escalative”, directed exclusively against terrorist groups camps linked to Lashkar-E-Taiba and Jaish-E-Mohammad, both based on Pakistan. However, the scope of the attacks (which for the first time have hit areas outside the disputed region, within the heart of the Punyab Pakistani) represents a dangerous climb that leaves us on a new stage. Pakistan denounced the action as a “flagrant war act” and promised to respond with a “measure but forceful” retaliation at the time and place of his choice. The immediate tension has been aggravated with reports of fallen aircraft (at least two in Indian territory) and civil victims by fire of Pakistani artillery On the border. Map of states with nuclear weapons in the world The nuclear threat. We already said it at the beginning. This last round of clashes between two nations is not “one more” for one reason: its Nuclear weapons They revive ancient fears. They both possess Developed nuclear arsenals After atomic essays in 1998 that formalized their status as states with this type of weapons. According to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute estimates (SIPRI), India has around 172 nuclear eyelaces, while Pakistan has approximately 170, which makes them two of the nine countries with a nuclear weapons in the world. Different doctrines. The difference is that both maintain different doctrines. India holds one policy of “not first use”although its doctrine allows massive reprisals to a nuclear attack, while Pakistan has not adopted A formal posture of not first use and maintains a “plausible” deterrence strategy, supported by tactical nuclear weapons to counteract Indian conventional superiority. Although neither nations has deployed missiles with eyelets Permanently, both have land, aerial and, in the case of India, maritime launching systems, which constitutes a capacity of second developing attack. Persistent rivalry, border scarves and the current risk of rapid climbing make the situation a new focus of concern on global nuclear safety. Unprecedented from 2gm. The truth is that, if we stick to the definition of war, from World War II There has been no such worrying confrontation Between two nations. The “nuclear” theme changes everything. The closest thing to the current dispute between India and Pakistan and that “as nuclear” was halfway, in the Korea Warwhen direct clashes occurred Between US and Soviet fightersalthough Moscow never officially recognized them at that time. These fights occurred mainly in the called “Callejón de los Mig”near the Yalu River, on the border between North Korea and China. So, Soviet pilots, with MIG-15 aircraft and using North Korean or Chinese badges, they met American fighters, especially F-86 Sabre. Although it remained a secret to avoid open confrontation between both superpowers, subsequent records confirmed that hundreds of Soviet pilots They participated directly In the Air War. That said, it was not technically a war between the two nations, at least not in the terms of the current conflict. A fragile balance. In short, events after The air attack of India mark a very serious intensification of the conflict, with unpredictable consequences If a rapid offalized is not achieved. The activation of air defenses in India, the closure of civil airports in sensitive areas and the reports of victims by cross -border fire indicate that the region is in A critical moment. While India affirms that her operation was precise and surgical, limited to terrorist camps, the fact of bombing areas outside of Kashmir has redraws the limits of the conflict. In the absence of a bilateral mechanism of effective containment and with the international community limited to rhetorical exhortations, the risk of an uncontrolled escalation between two nuclear powers remains very present.

The Supreme Court has just resolved who is responsible when you steal all your money for Phishing: the bank

by

The Supreme Court has just failed in favor of users and against banking in one of the most recurrent issues in recent years: Scams through the Internet. He declares that banking is the main responsible in these cases of fraud, being forced to immediately replenish all money stolen from the client. It is not a user thing. The Supreme Court has confirmed A sentence issued on April 9in which the Civil Chamber rejected the appeal filed by Ibercaja against a resolution issued by the Provincial Court of Zaragoza in November 2022. In this sentence 571/2025 it is underlined that good banking practices require the activation of systems capable of detecting suspicious activities, as well as blocking or verifying high -risk operations. Almost 60,000 euros, back to pocket. Unless it can be demonstrated that the client acted negligently, the bank is obliged to assume responsibility and return the money immediately. In this case, Ibercaja Banco SA must reintegrate a client 56,474.63 euros stolen from his account through Sim Swappinga system to supplant our identity stealing the telephone number. Judge Manuel Almenar Belenguer uses the European Directive before payment servicesas well as the Spanish regulations, concluding that if there is no negligence, the user’s only obligation is to notify the bank about any type of unauthorized operation. The new jurisprudence. This case feels a fundamental precedent since it establishes that, from now on, the banking entities will be the main responsible in cases of Phishing banking. Consequently, they must respond for user -unauthorized operations, thus marking a significant change in customer protection against electronic fraud. “The advances of current technology make relatively easy to design ideal computer systems or applications to detect certain anomalies in the provision of payment services. Operations that, in the case of companies or companies with a concrete corporate purpose, can be described as ordinary, must immediately raise suspicions and give rise to an answer when they affect natural persons outside of such activity.” Banks will no longer have an excuse. Based on Judisprudence, it is stated that contractual clauses that exempt the banking entities of their responsibility with users regarding unauthorized operations must be declared knots. Until now, banks could hide in alleged bad practices carried out by the user, such as having introduced their data on websites or malicious links. After this sentence, they are responsible for any unauthorized operation. A plague with which the government tries to end. Scams per call and SMS are a plague. So much, that the Ministry of Digital Transformation It has been trying to put a brake over a year. He End of commercial calls It arrived in February 2025 under ministerial order, but this is just a tiny part in the cybethaf cake. False calls, Scams by WhatsApp, malware in stores like Google Play, Identity Supplant by SMS… tactics change and evolve to continue having an affectation and result. Recently, The Civil Guard dismantled a network of cybers allegedly led by a 19 -year -old student. User’s responsibility. Despite the additional protection that the clients of the entities will enjoy in case of cybetafa, it falls on the roof of the user not to fall into practices that can end up being considered as negligence.

The Chandra X-ray Observatory shows us how a neutron star has “fractured a bone” to our galaxy

by

As if it were the radiography of a broken bone, the last image that has come to us from NASA shows us the image of a whitish structure whose natural silhouette has been “fractured” by the passage of a mysterious object. An object in whose nature we have been able to investigate thanks precisely to the recent observations. The fracture. The new image It was captured Combining captures of different astronomical observatories and shows us the fracture in G359.13142-0.20005 (abbreviated as G359.13) as well as the object that would have caused this fracture: a neutron star or pulsar. The “bone.” G359.13, the “bone” of this photo, is a cosmic structure called sometimes also as “snake.” This cosmic filament expands over about 230 light years and is about 26,000 light years from the earth, near the core of our galaxy. Filaments that emit radio waves that make them detectable from our planet. These structures are directed, NASA explainsby magnetic fields that run in parallel to them. The radio waves that come to us are caused by particles loaded with energy that form spirals along these magnetic fields. Joint work. The image has been possible Thanks to the combination of observations taken in different segments of the electromagnetic spectrum. As we pointed out, the “bone” of the photo is a visible structure in radio lengths, and its observation has been possible thanks to the Radiolescopes of the Merkat Observatory. When “diagnosing” the cause of this fracture, however, resort to X -rays. Those of Chandra Space Observatoryto be more exact. The reason is that the main suspect of causing this fracture is hidden in the structure itself. Fortunately, this mysterious object also emits in the frequency of X -rays, since what is hidden after this “fracture” seems to be a neutron star or, probably, a pulsar. According to NASA, this object would be emitting light both in the form of radio waves and X -ray, to which an additional x -ray source caused by electrons and positrons (its antiparticles) accelerated to large energies should be added. To millions of km/h. The fracture itself would have been caused by the irruption of the pulsar at exorbitant speeds. According to astronomer estimation, this speed would be between 1.6 million and 3.2 million kilometers per hour. A study linked to this image was published last year In an article In the magazine Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Change perspective. The image is a memory that sometimes things are not what they seem. The light that our eyes perceive is a tiny fraction of the emissions that exist in the cosmos. Sometimes the invisible to our eyes can be made visible using the correct instruments, while other times the opaque may not be so much if we change perspective.

The fear of renewables

by

The current energy model is again on the table after the blackout of April 28 in Spain. After a few weeks where the Spanish nation was covering 100% of your demand with renewable and exporting the remaining energyon the other side of the Pyrenees, France was observing with concern how their nuclear They have had to run into idle. And not because of a technical problem, but for an increasingly uncomfortable reality: the southern renewable boom is challenging northern nuclear hegemony. France resisting. While much of Europe has taken an address towards a system focused on clean energy, France redouble your commitment to nuclear energy With a production 70%. However, this scenario is not a technical preference, but a strategic ambition since the Gallic country seeks to be the battery of Europe. A centralized, controlled and export model. However, the renewable advance of countries such as Spain complicates that plan. In contrast. Spain, With a commitment determined by renewablesNot only has it reduced its dependence, but it begins to question the profitability of the French nuclear model. In April, he covered more than 60% of his demand with clean energy and exported a significant part to Francejust at the moment when several Gauling reactors were standing. As has explained for the avant -garde Eloy Sanz, professor at the University of King Juan Carlos I: “The debate is not just technical, it is deeply geopolitical.” And he added: “France wants to maintain its energy leadership position in Europe, but photovoltaic and wind are gaining ground and do so with increasingly low costs.” A silent competition. This conflict is not always perceived at first glance, but it is deep. In Brussels, the fight revolves around which technologies should receive public aid. Paris pressed for nuclear Be considered “green” and can opt for European funds, while countries like Spain are promoting a transition based on renewables, storage and intelligent demand management. The problems are at home. The France Academy of Sciences itself has criticized The new government energy plan (PPE3), describing it as “unrealistic” and “disconnected of reality. ”In addition, the controversy is not less: The French Nuclear Investment Planwhich includes up to 300,000 million euros To prolong and build new reactors, it has caused an internal political crisis, According to Le Point. France’s resistance is not born from fortress, but from the urgency of defending an increasingly discussed position. Maintain the position. France resists, yes. But it does not do it from the strength, but from the need to protect an increasingly questioned position. The renewable revolution in southern Europe is not just a promise of the future: it is already a reality that Tension pricesnetworks and policies. Energy leadership in Europe is in dispute, and this time, Spain arrives with a viable, exportable and increasingly difficult proposal to ignore.

We do not know if the AI ​​is going to eat your work, but the CEO of some startups are determined to convince you of it

by

AI comes for your work. It is the message that does not stop arriving since Chatgpt reached the market. And even before. The impact of artificial intelligence on the world of employment It can be hugebut for the moment They have not been noticed Its effects too much. That, they say more and more frequently the CEOs of technological companies, it will change. First, Shopify. Less than a month ago the CEO of Shopify, Tobi Lütke, He sent a memorandum To its employees with a clear directive: “Using AI effectively is now a fundamental expectation for everyone in Shopify.” In fact, he indicated that before expanding a workforce or investing in other tools, project managers should have exhausted all the ways to do that task with AI already available tools. Then Fiverr. The last to adopt a decision and speech of this type is Micha Kaufman, CEO of Fiverr, who in a memo to his employees emphasized the importance of protecting their careers in the face of the growing influence of AI. His message was overwhelming: “This is the unpleasant truth: AI comes for your work. Demons, it also comes for mine. This is a call of attention. It does not matter if you are a programmer, designer, product manager, data scientist, lawyer, customer service representative, seller or financial: the AI ​​comes for you. You must understand that what were previously considered” easy tasks “will no longer exist; what were considered” difficult tasks “will be” difficult tasks ” Easy, and what was considered “impossible tasks” will be the difficult thing. Finally (for the moment), Duolingo. Luis von Ahn, CEO of Duolingo, announced its template A few days ago his intention to be “an Ai-first. Among the measures that the company will take is to “gradually stop hiring freelancers to do the work of which AI can be commissioned.” Of course, Von Ahn apostilled, “Duolingo will continue to be a company that deeply cares about its employees. This does not replace the DUOS (company employees) with AI. It is about eliminating bottlenecks so we can do more with the spectacular duos we have now.” Many said it before, many will say it later. The message is explicit, but of course it is not new. The appearance of Chatgpt caused this type of predictions to become increasingly frequent, and little by little we have seen how the CEOs of large companies have talked about the impact that AI will cause on work. Above all, in the world of programming: Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, was clear a year ago than No one should learn to programand they have also said Mark Garman (CEO of AWS) or Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. Mark Zuckerberg joined that prediction a few days ago and assured that in 12-18 months the majority of the code would be written by an AI. And I didn’t talk about the machines autocomplete code, but that they would write it completely. First it will help us, then (perhaps) it will replace us. Many experts believe that AI It will enhance our productivity And it will help us do more And better work than ever. It is what happened with the computer or internet, but with AI there is a clear fear that I end up going beyond and completely doing our work. The possibility is there, although with other technological revolutions, there will be more threatened jobs and others that will be less. Bill Gates, for example, believes that Doctors and human teachers do not have much future And Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, states that the impact of AI on employment “It is a huge, huge problem“. Perhaps 140 years of history point to a surprising future profession. Hairdressers. Between 1871 and 2011 Technology created more jobs than destroyed. The 2015 study published In The Guardian It focused specifically on data from the Census of England and Wales, and that allowed to assess the impact of technology on the world of employment. The most physical works clearly fell into a fee, but while or other professions were created, or professionals were added to which there were already. For example, surprise: the number of hairdressers grew prodigiously throughout those 140 years: just 0.1% of the workforce in 1871, this group went on to represent 0.6% in 2011. But the impact is inevitable. There are more studies and forecasts that occurred before the current “revolution” of AI. In 2018 the World Economic Forum (WEF) He published his report ‘Future of Jobs 2018’.

In favor and against an increasingly international and ‘desestationalized’ diet

by

Yesterday There were creeks in the supermarket. Round, orange and bittersweet, the fruits of the loquat of Japan are one of those little miracles that gives us May. And I know it is an anecdote: a handful of thousands of tons of an absurdly seasonal product distributed by the supermarkets of five or six Spanish provinces. But it made me smile, first; And frown, later. Because yesterday, looking at those two bars in the middle of the ocean of fruits and vegetables, I realize that we almost always eat the same. Yes, a varied and balanced diet: provided we do not get out of the same 20 or 30 fruit and vegetable references. There is a battle in the world of distribution forever, let’s eat the same; so that our diet is the most standardized the same; so that there are no media in the supermarket. It may seem exaggerated, but there are examples to thousands. If we think about it, the idea of ​​being able to go down to the store and find avocados whatever the time of the year is almost magical. Avocado flowering in Spain It occurs in April. Also in March and May, but especially in April. The collection and marketing, on the other hand, goes from October to March. What happens in the spring and summer months? Where do the avocados that fill the shelves of the supermarkets come from? The answer is that of Peru. Of other sites, but fundamentally from Peru. The market and globalization has achieved something incredibly difficult: to be able to have seasonal products throughout the year. Sometimes, bringing them from other areas of the world (as in the case of avocado); Other times, looking for macrovarities that allow their cultivation throughout the year. That is what happens with potatoes (extra -time, early, half -season and late) and tomatoes. The Jungle Law. In this sense, international trade and international coordination select products with the ability to generate sufficient demand to ensure its supply during the year is profitable. As not all products allow it, nor all consumer groups are large enough: the current result is that many traditional products can only be found at the local level and those of great consumption The shelves of the supermarkets fill half the world. In our pantry there is a fierce knife fight from which only the most suitable products for these plethoric market societies come out. Is such a standardized diet ‘a good idea? Without a doubt, it has positive things. For the love of God, we can eat avocados at any month of the yearHow are you not going to have positive things? For thousands of years humanity has had to eat what it touched, but now we are very close to simply eat what we feel like. And that, even in a subject so crossed by cultural, social and personal factors Like food, it limits the future of gastronomy: it unifies it little by little, it makes it less diverse and more insecure. But, without a doubt, more appealing: a breakfast buffet in a hotel of many stars: the best – the most popular – of each kitchen in the world. While science fiction writers imagined a future with astronaut food, A kind of Soylent with steroids. What we are discovering is that the diet is changing, yes; But towards the promise that in the end We will all eat more or less the same.

In his second trailer, ‘Gta VI’ aims to exploit one of the great ideas so far absent in the franchise: love

by

Although it sounds strange at this point, the Second trailer of ‘GTA VI‘points to something unexpected: Rockstar has matured. Or at least, he intends to continue with his purpose of making games more adults than those who gave him fame, an intention that started with ‘Red Dead Redemption 2‘. For the first time in the franchise, we see unthinkable maturity notes a few years ago. Hello to love. The plot core of ‘GTA VI’ will undoubtedly be the love story between Lucia and Jason, something unusual in a franchise full of promiscuity, prostitution, unsatisfactory marriages and lonely antiheroes and without time for love. This is what Rockstar tells us in the official synopsis: “Jason and Lucia always knew that the letters were against them, but when a blow that seemed easy to go wrong, they are trapped on the darkest side of the most sunny place in America, in the midst of a criminal conspiracy that extends throughout the state of Leonida, and forced to depend more than ever of each other if they want to go out alive.” Goodbye to the cartoon. If something puts on the table the new trailer of ‘GTA VI’ is A graphic realism never seen in the serieseven though we could be talking only about kinematics. And that realism has to bring hand in hand A change in the arguments that develop. Let us remember what the characters of ‘GTA III’, ‘Vice City’ or ‘Liberty City’ were: excessive, big heads, of schematic movements, almost cartoons. That has ended, and emotionally, the characters have to live up to it, in the same way, as we pointed out in their day, The demands of female representation have changed. A clear inspiration. Before we know more details about the argument (there are already rumors that Jason It could be an undercover policeman), the clearest reference of GTA VI are Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrowthe couple of robbers of banks who lived a bloody romance in the Chicago of the thirties. In this trailer we see Jason and wore a bank together, the first picking up the second when it comes out of jail, and sharing some beers, a sunset and some passionate scenes that perspire a certain unusual tenderness in the ‘GTA’ games. But a shadow looms on them. The thing may not end well: Rockstar games, especially the recent ones, usually deal with betrayal, one way or another. In ‘GTA v‘, where we were driving alternately to the three protagonists, in the end we were asked to choose between betraying our classmates or accepting a last mission with them. In ‘Red Dead Redemption’, betrayal when the protagonist seemed to have reached peace was inevitable. And in this ‘GTA VI’, if we alternately control the protagonists in the ‘GTA V’ style, the player could have to resort to a similar decision: loyalty to his partner or fulfill a mission. The model is ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’. It is the most sophisticated and deep game at the level of characters that has set rockstar to date. He left behind the grotesque composition of the protagonists of ‘GTA V’ and opted for emotion: in ‘RDR2’ we see Arthur Morgan learn with the player valuable lessons about betrayal, responsibility and – while he faces his own death, and as it is inevitable taking into account the title of the game – redemption. If Rockstar looks for a reference for maturity and adult characters, his own masterpiece is his model. A logical trajectory. From ‘Red Dead Redemption’, published fifteen years ago, the detour to more mature and adult arguments is indisputable. He was followed by the police key ‘La Noire’, the turn of ‘Max Payne’ in its third part towards personal hells and the second installment of ‘Red Dead Redemption’. Only ‘GTA V’ and, obviously, the verbenero ‘GTA online‘, to which you have to feed apart, they have left that line. But even recognizing that the fifth installment of the franchise is a look at more frivolous and caricaturescos times, posed unprecedented issues and approaches in the criminal saga. For now, noise and fury. For now, all this are conjectures, such as The brilliant idea that all we are seeing is the start of the game and Jason dies in the early hours of history. We cannot deduce from the second trailer what are going to be the key points of the argument, but the official information makes it clear that the relationship between Lucía and Jason (include or not deaths, betrayal or something else) will be openly romantic. And what is clear from the tone and visual style of the trailer is the potential of the game of giving an unprecedented impulse to the depth of the stories that are told in video games. And Rockstar is not known for letting this type of opportunities pass. Header | Rockstar In Xataka | The delay of ‘GTA VI’ goes far beyond a mere change in the calendar.
