The universes are the same in IV and V are they not, pretty sure what happened in IV still exist in the world of V? The ads, the graphics, the cars. I know R* replies by email, but they're not going to say that characters from IV are not returning. They're not going to say anything other than the press release or what was said in the A&A. And it's sort of ridiculous that anyone would believe that R* would reply confirming something about V privately.
