Grand Theft Auto 6 fans aren’t thrilled with Rockstar’s decision to release the next look at the game through Netflix.
…but they will still buy it.

Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 days ago if you can’t wait 6 hours longer for a fucking trailer, maybe you have a problem. Like jesus fucking christ, does it really matter? More than half these people would still buy the game even if Cockstar never released a single image or video of the game.

I thought the pre ordering or pay extra to play a day early is bad. This is downright a mental illness. The fact that people even watch that shit just tell these shitasses that it works.

Shit, I rarely even hear about or run across these trailers before they’ve been out at least a few days

Does it ever go cheap tho? It has never dropped under 20$ in my region ever(gta 5)

GTAV has been only $9.99 in my region for years now and they also have given it away free at least twice.

They’re really milking it for all its worth even before its even released lmao, this kind of nickel and diming is bizarre even for a mainstream gaming company.
Lenins_Dumbbell@lemmygrad.ml 2 days ago Starting to think they know the game is going to fail and not live up to the hype, so get as much money out of it as you can while you can.
Wonder if they’ve used AI slop in development

The game is going to sell well, but I don’t think it’s going to be a cashcow like GTA V Online, they already tried that with RDR 2 and failed. It’s just another boring movie like game.

They 100% did, which is why they layoff a lot of their workers who were trying to make a union.

That shit will be on pirate sites within 20 minutes. Will be on unofficial youtube channels after that, everyone who wants to see it will see it before it hits official youtube channels. Most not through netflix.
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 days ago How can one be a “GTA 6 fan” when the game isn’t even released. I’m a fan of 1-5, but…
NessD@lemmy.world 2 days ago It’s six hours. A controversy about a gameplay reveal that is available 6 hours later. Rockstar banks on this controversy. Just watch it on YouTube. God, people are impatient.

Paying for skins started with a horse armor for a few dollars. Because people allowed it and it made a bit more money, it turned into the bag of shit we have now, where you don’t even get all the players in a game without buying them.
Waiting 6 hours is nothing. What it becomes later, if it proves to be profitable, will be.

Lololol have need to calm those tits. Good lord what a stupid thing to twist up your panties over.

AAA is dead.- Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
It’s a rotting carcass for roughly a decade now, sadly. At least with US-based AAA. I would have to think for a while to come up with a title that well deserved full price. It was either indie, AA or some Chinese or polish AAA.

I honestly don’t remember what the last AAA title I bought was.
Can't wait to buy this game in 5-10 years for like $5 with all the bugs patched, cool mods available, and all DLC included.
Not happening not with no physical copies. My guess they want to keep that high price tag long as possible and see how many rubs they can sucker into paying it.
Sure it will.
Also, piracy.

Yes, it will go on sale for cheap, lower barrier of entry to their online service riddled with extra transactions. Why do you think all AAA games go on sale so fast? They are only $70 with $100+ editions at launch to rake in cash from people stupid enough to overpay.
