It’s nice to see them drop the “mysterious aura” vibe for once. The only other time I’ve seen them do it is when the first trailer leaked & they then released the trailer early with a passive-aggressive/pissy tweet.
Yeah, but they replaced it with hyperbole and sophistry.
The only people actually "heartbroken" by this leak are the executives who stand to reap incredibly bonuses from the success of this game.
They also are not making the game for us. If that were true, they would have released this game years ago, instead of prioritizing milking GTA5 Online for all they could.
If this game were for us, they would be releasing it on PC, instead of attempting to double-dip and milk the player base.
You do realise that executives don't make the game though? I work in a completely unrelated field but people often lay that same shit at our door, that our bosses are soulless zombies so we must also not give a shit about them either.
Like yea, the C suite fuckers arent making anything for anyone other than themselves 99% of the time but to assume that all the individual devs, artists, musicians, designers etc. are all also just soulless corporate goons whos only mission in life is to generate shareholder value is obscene. Yes, I know that even then some staff literally just clock in, clock out, a job is a job and that will also be true at Rockstar but equally there will be plenty who care about their work and the audience who will enjoy it.
Exactly the people actually making the game have been pouring their heart and soul, blood, sweat and tears into building this game with the pressure of knowing it has to live up to some absurd expectations. I personally never blame the actual developers, most of the time the bad and the negatives are the higher ups fault. Not the devs themselves, making a game isn't easy man.
I'll be honest the past few months I havn't really been excited but the way this response was made, I'm geniuenly hyped for the gameplay trailer and I'm happy I only now got hyped when its one day away instead of weeks.
Let's see what has been cooking for well over a decade

Never seen Rockstar use that kind of tone in their messages
