How did OSRS end up on a laptop at a strip club? CV explained: they built casual relationships with staff through regular appearances at a nearby bar owned by the same proprietor, asked the bartender whether any venues needed a DJ after other work dried up, landed the gig, and stayed because it’s steady pay—even if quiet nights are common. It’s a storyline that could have come straight from GTA.
I mentioned that comparison to CV, and they laughed: “I don’t think I’d be the main character in GTA — maybe a quirky NPC who gets caught in a strip club shootout while dropping a catchy tune. I’ll take it as a compliment!”
Surprisingly, CV doesn’t know other club employees who play OSRS. Partly that’s their own doing: they haven’t mixed any RuneScape tracks into their sets yet. One listen to classics like ‘Sea Shanty’ and they reckon the crowd would be hooked.
“I’m sure some have tried it before, but none spring to mind now,” CV said. “It also doesn’t seem to appeal to younger people — I got my 20‑year‑old stepbrother to try it and he grimaced; he said he didn’t like the graphics.”
That said, some of the club’s dancers will often play Nintendo Switch games like Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and Stray during downtime. I couldn’t help but wonder: would Nintendo let Rockstar portray GTA 6’s future strip club NPCs with a Switch 2 in hand?
The fate of one of the longest‑running MMOs, and one of the most infamous microtransaction stores, is currently being decided by a community vote in RuneScape.
