So much enshitification with this once good company.

    I’m always amazed at Rockstar’s ability to sell a game with the simple sales pitch of “It’s GTA”. We’ve basically seen nothing about this game, and they aren’t well known for managing their existing games well, yet everyone is convinced this will be

    1. Game of the year
    2. Highest grossing game of the decade
    3. Most innovative piece of software ever

    Despite only seeing a pre-rendered trailer up to now. We don’t even know any members of the cast on IMDb.

    I think we’ve completely lose the plot on game development.

      This is GTA 6. The game could just be Hello World and it would still be the best selling game ever. They could have started taking preorders earlier and it could have also been the best selling game of last year.

      People know how popular the last game was, assume that this one is going to be even more, and feel like they need to be first to play it or they will be left behind. They feel like they need to preorder the game so that it doesn’t sell out, despite the fact that it is a digital download.

      it’d be hilarious for the next GTA to be meh. all those billions invested, all the years, and it’s like a 5.5-6 out of 10 lol.

      not predicting anything, just think it’d be funny

        Itll be really depressing, because itll still be GOTY and bestselling game of all time and make record number of mtx ane subscriptions.
