So much enshitification with this once good company.
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.
Bravo rockstar for convincing Netflix to pay for a 6 hour exclusive window 😂
I’m not gonna watch it early but I gotta respect them convincing Netflix this was worth the money.
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.
They’ve generated drama with it. Mission accomplished as far as they’re concerned. It truly is nothing. Six hours? I’m at work, I’m at the beach, I’m on a hike, I’m doing whatever, I’ll watch it later. Boom, six hours. It’s a meaningless window of time, but there’s articles being written about it.
If it wasn’t GTA I doubt anyone would notice and/or care. It’s the equivalent of an exclusive interview or something.
