Its only paywalled for 6 hours
Imagine if they play it in TV in 90s and you missed it. Modern people are ridiculous.
Mark my words, I will never buy a rockstar game again.
Everything about this stinks of greed, arrogance and forgetting that there is an end user in their business strategy.
Never again
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.
Sorry, what I meant is “6 hours is a long time for something to not be ‘leaked’ on the internet”
As in - you will not need to wait 6 hours, because 6 hours is a long time on the internet.
You can expect to find uploads of the video minutes after it finishes.
Ahh, gotcha, yeah. That’ll definitely happen. Idk if I’ll bother looking for the leaks though, I’ll probably just watch it when R* releases it so I can view it in HD and whatnot.
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.
I plan to be one of the first ones in line to get my disc on launch day! Can’t wait to finally pop that bad boy in and boot it up after all the hype!
The closer we get to release the less interested I become: it fucking sucks because GTA pretty much defined me, I played every r* game (yes even the table tennis) and I’ve had a lot of fun doing it. But now… base game is $80 but if you want the full experience shell out $100, no PC release, no disc for consoles for those who wish to avoid the console ecosystem, paywalling ads, multiplayer not included (there’s a rumor we will have to shell out an additional 10-30 bucks for online). Fuck that. I knew they’d be greedy about it, after all it’s the biggest piece of entertainment in the history of entertainment but you don’t have to be a dick about it.
They will just do what they did with V and release the PC version a year later with multiplayer included for like $40-50 more.
Fuck that, I won’t buy it on PC unless it goes on a 75% sale. I’ve got a jailbroken PS5 and I’m very patient.
Jesus christ, Lemmy, you’re just on fire today. I’m starting to get bummed out.
So all the people who don’t care about GTA:VI - why are you in this thread? Be glad that you don’t care about something. Does every post on the site need to cater to your whims?
Ugh.
I’m looking forward to the eventual PC release - if I’m still alive (I’m on dialysis, so that’s a little up in the air). I’m looking forward to the preview or whatever they release here. Since it’ll be on youtube a few hours after the Netflix release - ermagerd guess I’ll wait a few hours. Be a couple of years before I get it on PC anyway.
So much drama that means nothing. Yeesh.
If you don’t like the drama why are you in this thread? It’s clearly a post about the anger/disappointment surrounding Rockstar and Netflix’s marketing.
I didn’t want to have to pull this one out.
Putting out a pay walled ad is certainly a choice.
Oh my god who the hell cares?
I look forward to playing it for free.
The single player campaigns for the GTA games have been my favorite part anyway.
I’ve literally never played multiplayer in any rockstar game. I get that’s where all the hype is but I’ve never cared for a second. Their games have always been like Skyrim for me.
GTA online is unplayable anyway. You can’t get anything done because the moment you log in you immediately get blown up by a 12 year old flying a motorcycle with infinite rocket launchers around. In what way is that supposed to be a fun gaming experience?
I look forward to still not playing it whenever it eventually is released.
I’ve played every GTA since release, and I gotta say, I’m probably not going to play 6 for at least a few years after release, if ever.
I’m waiting to hear how it is. Dan Houser and a lot of the other team members who lead the previous GTA games and RDR gave left Rockstar, so I don’t have the confidence I had going into GTAIV and V and RDR2.
Oh god. Well, that brought it from about a 20 percent chance down to about 2.
You don’t have to look forward to that. We are enjoying it already. It’s great not having to wait on Rockstar to enjoy not playing their games
Good. I have better thing to do.
this game is going to be super ass and they’re just milking the hype that’s been surrounding the game now while they can. hope I’m wrong but I know I’m not
Realize 80% of people aren’t reacting to GTA shit. This article is for the 20% who just can’t help it. Those people run to their podcasts, YouTube channels, tiktoks, and just repeat it all verbatim. All back to the same 20% who wait for another drip of controversy to repeat the cycle. It must be exhausting

I loved GTA. But I feel zero want for this. Same with battlefield. I was a huge fan. I have zero cares now. I’m much more excited for indie games.
I feel the same way too. I’ve loved GTA games and I’ve always been excited when a new one comes out. But with GTA6 the hype for me has significantly decreased. My concern now is that 6 will just be a reskin of 5 with a few extra bells and whistles added. I’m still gonna be optimistic about it but after 6 idk if I’m gonna get excited about the next one if it ever comes.
