    The extended look will also be available at 9pm ET on YouTube, but for six hours, it will essentially be paywalled behind a Netflix subscription.

    Um… ok

    1. Who cares? It’s a trailer.
    2. Most of the people complaining probably already have a Netflix subscription
    3. It’s 6 hours after you’ve already waited 4 years, chill out
    4. Someone’s going to rip it after 10 minutes away
    5. Vice City was the most fun, SA broke your childhood, IV had the best story, V had heists. There’s no way VI is going to top all those, we’ll be lucky if it makes top 3.

    Yeah this is scummy now, but firing a few dozen people in an attempt at union busting, crunch culture, artificial exclusivity so people pay twice, and ridiculous pricing for a video game is all okay. The paid early access to some marketing content is what clearly crosses the line. These people man

        And next year, when you need to pay extra to get the whole game you will say “these (including pay walling trailers) are all normal practices, paying full price for half the game is new”. Every time this shit gets normalized…

    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.

          Yeah I mean standard policy for new releases with steam are they don’t go on sale for the first 1-1.5 years so that will be a while off.

    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.

    I dunno, I think it’s fine if a company wants to limit the reach of a marketing campaign for a few hours.

    If someone chooses to pay Netflix more than they otherwise would so they can watch an advertisement earlier then everyone else, then that says much more about the viewer than it does about the companies involved.

    Imagine if they play it in TV in 90s and you missed it. Modern people are ridiculous.

        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.

        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

    Until it’s on sale on steam for 50% off, I don’t need to know anything about it, thanks.
