    Oh wow a 6 hour paywall for a first look of a game that’s not out yet. Let’s get mad about not being able to watch an ad for overpriced shit from a garbage company.

      It’s not really about being mad it’s more just disappointment that this is where we are. Like shit think about how much this deal cost. It’s just sad man.

        I don’t care about the game and it sure looks like Rockstar is burning through all the good will they have, but I definitely feel that general disappointment.

        Netflix was willing to purchase temporary exclusivity to an ad, and Rockstar apparently agreed that the money would cancel out the bad PR.

      I see a lot of people saying everyone is mad, but can’t say I have really seen many (or any), actually mad.

      I have seen a lot of disappointment and indifference. From the people who had put rockstar on some pedestal it’s mostly disappointment as they can’t believe they would be that scummy. For others not hyped, its an advert.

      I am a little surprised, but not shocked they would stoop to getting paid for it. But I am much closer to anti rockstar these days, and have no interest in gta6 anymore.

        I have no idea how many people are mad but ign wrote an article about it. Just saying that this is a big 6 hour nothingburger compared to all the other shit rockstar pulled. Somehow they are still on a pedestal.

        I really hope netflix will lose more subscribers than gain them because of this. But people keep on rewarding rockstar for all the shit they pull.
