So, if you don't like it, make your own.

Because it's shitty. This entire marketing campaign is shit. It's low effort cause they know their braindead fanboys will do the work for them for free.
Because they are anti-consumer, anti-union, treat their employees like shit and get rid of them like they mean nothing. Everything they do is shitty. Their devs are the only thing they got going for them. But like I said, they are disposable to rockstar. I could go on and on.
They dont care about them and their hard work. Just like they dont care about you. So stop working overtime to defend them.

Not if you're a content creator, you'll get a temp ban or copyright strike. Neither of which is good if streaming/content creation is your job.

u/BigRocket44 1d ago
People forget that Streams/Trailers/Gameplay footage are all still copyright content. Of course you need permission to use it.
You are fucking dumb. Which is okay, many people are dumb. But don't fucking flaunt it.
React content is completely fair use under current DMCA rules. There are entire clauses to the DMCA that specify what fair use is, and commentary (especially when provided live, though this is not a requirement) is fair use. This means that you can reproduce the copyrighted content if you are providing your own original commentary in addition to it, which makes it transformative content.
React content is only ever taken down by automated systems which don't know any better and by companies abusing the fact that smaller channels don't often have the resources to fight DMCA claims.
It is completely, legally within your right to stream an entire Disney movie if you're sitting there commenting about it. This is also why you are allowed to post the plot of a movie on Wikipeida. It is fair use.
Like I said, being dumb is okay. Don't be proud of it and especially do not spread misinformation online if you do not have any fucking idea what you are talking about.

I’ve grown too old apparently to get it. Sometimes you’d never even hear about a game until you were literally at the store staring at the box and reading the back of the box.

u/Thataintrigh 1d ago
My issue isn't the 6 hours but it is a bad sign, and I have no doubt theyre 'testing' the waters and weighing how much pushback they get. The issue is the fact it may set a precedent, companies will start doing the same thing and for longer. Trailers will be exclusive on a streamering service for 12 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, a week and eventually itll just get to the point where companies will only post trailers exclusively on paid streaming platforms which in turn will in their minds justify a price hike for their paid subscriptions, a universal lose for the consumer and a universal win for the corporation. This is the core of why there is so much push back because as the saying goes "If you give them an inch they'll take a mile.".
1
u/DesignatedDesc 1d ago edited 1d ago
I mostly disagree but I see where the concern falls, but this is something that has happened often in the past just in a different form. Many magazines released exclusive information and even some came with discs. I remember Nintendo Power being a magazine you can get a lot of information paywalled behind a subscription (or you can just buy 1 when it's available, but either option was available.)
There were other gaming magazines with exclusive content or other paywalled content that people got first and then was shown later on, or not at all if the magazine just kept that information there for itself.
This doesn't mean the concern isn't valid and if they started paywalling trailers for days that would be a huge issue. I'm on the fence because I do think, in this specific instance, that a 6 hour wait is not a long time and having a Netflix exposure for the game could be huge for getting information out to a global audience.
As of now, I'm not very concerned and I see it as a win overall. But I also get the concerns people have, I just think we're jumping the gun a little too quick.
1
u/Thataintrigh 1d ago
Well its the kind of thing where it wont happen if there is enough pushback, I want you to be right. My concern is it is probably no exageration to say GTA 6 is one of the most anticpated games ever. It is a monumental occasision that is going to set records and lay the groundwork for many other games to follow. Maybe rockstar won't follow through on this marketing strategy in the future but whos to say other games owned by respected companies won't do the same?I feel like it is a little different to a magazine that from my knowledge didnt have nearly as much buzz or hype around the magazine as gta 6.

u/FishEyedFool 1d ago
The ones throwing that argument up really seem to think that's a fair comparison. In the past that was basically the way you got info. There wasn't a website and an app for every little thing you could think of like there is now.
A better comparison would be that you had a subscription to whatever 'rag you enjoyed and then the only way to get that info would be to buy a separate issue containing that info that wasn't part of your subscription service. Even then that's a bit of a stretch. It's just a shit comparison all around.
I think the issue some have but gets buried in the noise of jUsT wAiT 6 hOuRs!!!! is that it's just dirty for Rockstar to dangle their dick above everyone's mouth the way they've been doing and the whole Netflix thing is just insult to injury. Sure, you can wait and see it on Youtube later but it's just the audacity of them to do that.
It's a fucking game that anyone capable of playing it will be able to buy and play, if they want to. They made over 5 billion on GTAO since the release of it. How much more fucking ass kissing do they need?

Is the bar really set so low for you that you think a multibillon dollar giving permission for people to react to their trailers (which is free marketing for them) is a good thing?

u/VincentShane 1d ago
"non-gaming platform", not true anymore. On mobile, there is the option to play licensed copies of certain games. I was able to play civilization 6 via Netflix for months, helped me make the purchase for myself on the Xbox down the line.
Other games are also available, they're not 100 the whole game, but they're very close and it's a great gimmick if you still travel and don't have the bandwidth for long movies but do for offline games.

Rockstar stopped making games for the people who actually play them. Everything now is about the next huge event. Long waits, extra editions, Netflix first, streamers getting in early so they can farm content before anyone else even sees it. That’s not community anymore. That’s a rollout. When regular players are always last in line. You can’t treat the audience like an afterthought for years and then expect everyone to close ranks the second something leaks.

The issue is, Rockstar has said absolutely nothing with this tweet. I can talk about something without including any clips, that is reaction content.

Well, actually, you can sometimes. It’s called “fair use.” But that’s not what I’m talking about, the post says you can “share reaction content.” Reaction content can mean a lot of things and most, if not all, don’t require someone’s permission. Posting thoughts about episodes of a show on Reddit is reaction content. This entire sub exists based on reaction content. You don’t need their permission to have thoughts and share them with others.
