I’ve already decided not to get GTA6, a game that has shown no gameplay at all yet. And if I do, it’ll be on PC, no reason to get a digital only title on a locked down system.

    This whole “gamer outrage” has to be manufactured for clicks right? Surely there’s not that many people that would get outraged that they will see a goddamn TRAILER 6 hours after other people. I mean fuck Rockstar for pulling this shit, but this whole thing reeks of ragebait.

    • This is GTA we’re talking about; The entire series has thrived on stoking flames of controversy since at least the second game. It would not surprise me if this was a tactical decision to manufacture controversy. Just look how often it’s being reported on.

      It’s a yongyea video. Of course it’s rage bait.

      Also, I wonder if this is how Rockstar will generate press now. They used to rely on news screaming about a a torture scene, or prostitution being in the game. Now it’s about getting the influencers riled up, and it’s easy to do that with something stupid like this.
