So much enshitification with this once good company.
I’m always amazed at Rockstar’s ability to sell a game with the simple sales pitch of “It’s GTA”. We’ve basically seen nothing about this game, and they aren’t well known for managing their existing games well, yet everyone is convinced this will be
- Game of the year
- Highest grossing game of the decade
- Most innovative piece of software ever
Despite only seeing a pre-rendered trailer up to now. We don’t even know any members of the cast on IMDb.
I think we’ve completely lose the plot on game development.
They should make a $1,000 edition you can play a week earlier.
I gotta be honest, I don’t see how this is different than all the times a movie preview would premiere on MTV or some other cable/satellite channel. Game trailers and gameplay previews premiered on G4/TechTV quite a bit for a good run there. Also, it’s on Netflix a whopping six hours earlier than YouTube. That’s not a paywall, so much as a paybump. I hate that I’m white-knighting for capitalists here, but there are things to be outraged about and this ain’t one of em.
Lmao. Fuck rockstar.
I really hope GTA 6 bombs HARD. Like, 30k total worldwide sales. I want them to have to reevaluate their strategy, and stop making GTA games so paint by numbers. The numbers are there to make them consistent flow of money. But they really make the missions become “Go to the yellow marker. Follow the target. Kill the gang that ambushes you. Lose the cops. Mission passed.”
With multiple cut scenes (that sometimes are unskippable depending on game) between each step.
I just want to enjoy the game, in single player, and have a full experience that doesn’t feel tacked on as an after thought.
Enshitification is just a Monopoly or a cartel by another name.
We have the tools to break them up and fix the issue. Support candidates that will enforce Anti-Trust laws.
once good company
i only played gta 1 but i remember you guys bitching about greediness with 5. maybe it was multiplayer? i cant remember exactly but i know there has been greediness for a long time.
5 didnt have dlc they did content updates for gta online only and it was released on 3 console gens for over 13 years.
If you need a trailer that bad and can’t wait for the upload then you deserve to pay for a Netflix sub
I mean if you can’t see what you get don’t preorder… Well… Never preorder But especially if you don’t see what you get
Iirc it’s only 3 hours earlier for netflix, if people are so desperate for it that they can’t wait 3 hours i have no word for them.
it’s gonna be uploaded to YouTube within 10 minutes of release.
The funny part about all this is that the game will be released in the high seas a week before official release and will have mods working before any of the preorder suckers even get to download it.
Doubtful, given that it’s only a digital console release for the foreseeable future.
