GTA doesn’t really glorify that lifestyle though? At least in 5 it’s made clear that none of the protagonists are particularly happy with their lives even though they’re career criminals. In fact they even get blackmailed by a government agency into doing more illegal shit just so they don’t get disappeared to a black site and never heard from again.

I mean it hasn’t really been a gangster simulator since San Andreas. And even then, CJ was never part of a gang during the time you played as him.
