    Okay hear me out.

    This comes out on Netflix and then is on YouTube 6 hours later. 6 hours is a long fucking time on the internet. This video is going to be leaked instantly. It will be posted and shared everywhere minutes after it ends. Not just leaked but I’m sure you can go to any number of discord servers and watch somebody stream it. Rockstar doesn’t care. Netflix doesn’t care. The goal is not a pay walled advertisement.

    It’s a stress test of Netflix live streaming. They need something so big yet so inconsequential to test this with. If it goes well, they can say “Hey, we tested it out, and we are capabe of streaming the Superbowl”. If it doesn’t work. Eh, just release it to YouTube, whatever.

    Thats my guess at least.

      6 hours is not a long time anywhere. If they told me GTA6 was coming out on PC 6 hours after the console release, I’d be stoked. Honestly, 6 hours of exclusivity is whatever. I’m actually buying a console for GTA6, that’s how excited I am, and I could not care less.

        It’ll be at least a year until GTA 6 comes out on PC it always takes them forever to release on PC.

        I was excited for the game but personally I don’t trust them anymore.
