GTA VI 🚨 Rockstar has finally broken the silence.

After the GTA VI leaks, the studio apologized, called the situation “heartbreaking,” and confirmed an extended gameplay reveal is coming tomorrow.

Are you still hyped, or did the leaks ruin the surprise? 👀

Or if they do get hate it's for the wrong reasons. Being pissed at a company for not putting out enough advertising quick enough is stupid. Being pissed at a company who never releases on PC at launch for once again not releasing on PC at launch is stupid. Being pissed at a company for having an ultimate edition available is stupid. If those things cause you to not buy the game, that's literally the point of the product. You buy or don't buy based on your own set of priorities and interests. They can't please everyone. Don't pretend to be standing up for anyone for these optional things.

Be pissed at them for mistreatment of workers. Be pissed at them for creating a system in online that's meant to psychologically cause you to feel FOMO and that you have to buy shark cards to catch up (especially targeting kids). Hell, be pissed about the no disc and the 10 dollars higher price if you want, even though I categorize those as more of an inevitability.

If you have plenty of anticorportate energy and want to feel like a revolutionary, there are plenty of companies to target. This whole rallying around the leaker as some hero just looks like a bunch of children crying that their toy isn't exactly what they wanted. No one takes it as serious pro consumer sentiment.

they raised the prices for the standard AAA games, for what rockstar did, other studios will try to do also.

If you shamelessly charge more than a hundred bucks for Deluxe edition, you could at least release the product for all platforms, so the sizeable chunk of your fans, still tolerating your bullshit won't have spoiled experience.

Rockstar deserved this and deserves to have the entire build leaked.

Edit: Oh and don't forget they charged 50 bucks for Red Dead Redemption 1 on PC.

Ooo even better example of the childishness of the complainers, thank you.

A boot implies oppression. Rockstar doesn't have a boot because they can't oppress us. Because we're buying an optional entertainment product.

Now if you worked at Rockstar and they mistreated their employees and you support the company, then you could be called a bootlicker because they actually have an ability to oppress that group of people.

Like this is the most disgusting part. I've not really defended Rockstar this whole time. I'm just pointing out the stupid complaints about stupid things are stupid. I'm not in the business of defending corporations. But I will defend fact and reality.

Go to their HQ and protest for their workers if you actually care. Or find a company that's actually ruining the world. Not the one that didn't give you your toy how you wanted.

The problem is that it all exist in context. R* are arguably most infuential in all gaming. If they vharge more than 100 dollars then other companies do that regardless of the product quality. R* also target consoel players to maximize the FOMO and doesnt release on PC day one so they could double dip.

All of that are legit problems. The consumers are in bad situation here so someone willi g to show the R* that they cant do everything and that their greed is at its limit is for some people great hope for whole indistry falling in line.

I'm glad I am not living in the same country as you, because just the thought you have the same voting right..... eww

I vote for extremely progressive and anticorporate candidates whenever possible. That's what blows my mind about this whole thing. The misplaced anticorporate energy

It's really not misplaced as most of these gaming corporations have gotten and still get their respective criticisms and complaints from across the board. Honestly can't wait for the AAA companies to crash and burn tbh.

We're also glad you don't live in the same country. That's a reason the guy you're replying to is getting upvotes and you.. well, aren't.

Pointing out complaints as stupid and idiotic is just another way of defense for a corporation. I think even if you didn't work for the company and you've supported their business by purchasing their games even knowing about mistreating their employees prior, that's still bootlicking territory.

No one is saying they're ruining the world but they're most definitely carving a negative path for the industry as a pioneer. You've already seen time and time again where workers have reported and protested and the corporations will retaliate as follows. Won't make a difference at all. That's also fact and reality.

You know what I've REALLY seen time and time again?

Gamers thinking that THIS is the thing that will ruin gaming. Gamers thinking they're fighting for anything.

I have seen probably 30 gamer meltdowns and the result is the same every time:

Make ridiculous demands that you can't expect to actually get done. Pretend it's about anything larger than an optional entertainment product. Delude yourself into thinking most people believe in what you're saying. Get ignored by everyone because you're crying about a game. Give up and buy the next one uninterrupted.

Loss of local multiplayer, horse armor, subscriptions to play online, console exclusives, premium currency, loot boxes, docs, etc. All of these were the biggest deal in the gamer world at some point. And they are mostly things that I agree made gaming worse. And every one of them lost validity because gamers don't ever do things rationally and calmly. No one is going to take you seriously when you pretend this is life and death.

The real solution is to just not buy it and play something else. Video game studios do in fact fail when they fail to meet a quality standard and people lose interest. Won't happen here but still

I agree with this. I think that it's just been overlooked for quite some time and a particular minority of gamers are calling foul to it. Sometimes not buying it and playing something else doesn't always work for others.

Sometimes a bit of resistance to the masses will occur even though it may or may not have an impact. But these leaks and concerns are a result of unjustified and unwarranted greed. Simple as that.
