Not because I care about GTA6, but because the idea of paid time exclusive ads is dystopian and I like the idea of sharing something Rockstar doesn’t want me to.

Not going to bother finding a replacement if this one gets taken down since it’ll be on YouTube in a few hours anyways. Mirror it or don’t.

    Fuck. Unfortunately looks really good.

    R* feels like prime, 2009 Apple: fucking insufferable but unfortunately make a strong product, if overpriced.

    No physical, no purchase. No exceptions.

    This is the hill I’ll die on.

    Kudos to you for posting for the sake of denying them. I won’t watch because I’d rather keep blind; I actually really enjoyed GTAV (once it was on PC and sold for next to nothing lol) and I’ll probably get this several years after release the same way. I’m remarkably good at avoiding spoilers for unreasonable amounts of time (e.g. I found out the cake was a lie a decade after Portal released, lol).

    Also fyi, GTA games are generally good and you can tell the writers and world builders had fun with it despite their shit management. It’s not a bad idea to pirate or buy at a strict discount to at least see the story they created. Plus, I’m an LA native and GTAV is practically a documentary!

    I don’t want an extended preview, I just want a PC release. Gotta dodge spoilers for a year or two. That’s not gonna work.

    Looks great.

    And people upset about how the preview was posted are just looking for additional reasons to be upset with Rockstar.

    But upset about more important things, like labor issues, crunch, union busting, no physical release, etc.

      I mean I don’t really need more reasons. Between union busting and mass layoffs, people that actually worked on this are long gone and I’m not gonna give my money to those rich fucks.

      Luckily they help out by delaying PC version and pricing the digital game like an old console.

    I can’t buy it. I couldn’t find a reason to get a console this gen. So I’ll be waiting for PC, and I got enough things to play for years in the mean time.

    I’m not buying it because Rockstar and Take Two are shitty greedy assholes.

      GTA IV was the last one I’ve ever owned. Been tempted by 5:00 a few times but I have got enough games that I’ll never play. I don’t need it as well.

      I wonder what the DRM situation will be like.
      Will they have some hopped up version of Arxan that’s gonna be super hard to crack?
      Or is the PC Release delay good enough that they aren’t particularly worried about piracy?

      Of course given the popularity and antecipation I’m sure there will be all forms of groups trying to take a stab at it, but I still wonder how it’ll go down.

        The game won’t run without an armed agent pointing a gun at your head who will pull the trigger if you ever start enjoying it the wrong way.

    Characters, location, even scenarios seem generic as fuck. Lacking the spicy humor that GTA5 had.

    Seems like the writers have done the classic error of not endearing anyone to the player. I’m not drawn to or interested in finding out anything more about them.

    I wonder how many hardworking people they’re going to plunge into uncertainty by ruthlessly laying them off.

    At least the line will go up

    I would probably buy it (when it’s on sale at a reasonable price!) if it wasn’t for the poor treatment of their employees and alleged attempts at union busting.

      I wouldn’t even say alleged, it was very blatant. An employment tribunal has already ruled against them and the case goes to full trial next month.
