This isn't the first instance where the flag has been publicly removed from Rockstar Games' titles.
Since the Grand Theft Auto series is known for its satire and dark humor, many find it odd that Rockstar removed something they had been mocking from the start.
Posted on the GTA subreddit, (via Game Rant) one sharp-eyed user Chazza354 has pointed out that during Rockstar's new reveal trailer for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, Phil Cassidy's appearance has been altered, with the Confederate Flag being removed on his shirt and replaced with a skull. Phill Cassidy previously appeared in Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as a supposed Vietnam War veteran with multiple stereotypical features of a deep American conservative.

Being fully uncensored, the popular series has been involved with numerous lawsuits over the past two decades. Rockstar Games is known for its controversial video games and the Grand Theft Auto series has been used as a lens for American satire through the narrative and recreations of New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, consisting of a variety of aspects that reflect its society.
Rockstar Games has apparently altered the appearance of a popular character and removed the Confederate Flag in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City from Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition, raising questions about any other changes that could have possibly been made for the flagship series remaster. Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two Interactive officially unveiled the first full trailer of the GTA trilogy remaster a few days ago, showing off all three PS2 era GTA games with updated current-generation graphics and other massive improvements such as improved controls following weeks of speculation and leaks.
