What happened
Michael can join the Epsilon Program, a robes-and-donations religion that asks for escalating payments, car deliveries, and a desert walk in sacred blue garments. Rockstar built the cult a real website, epsilonprogram.com, complete with tenets like the tale of Kraff, Emperor of the Fourth Paradigm, and a celebrity members page. The questline ends with a choice between obedience and robbing the cult blind.
Why it matters
It is the game's sharpest satire delivered through its strangest systems, and the fake religion's real website blurred the game's edges into the actual internet.
How we know
Rockstar's own epsilonprogram.com is the primary artifact; the live site has since gone dark, so we cite the Internet Archive's capture of it.
