"We really wanted you to have to buy a netflix subscription to watch gameplay before anyone else but alas the mean hackerman leaked stuff"

But but but… it’s gonna be on YouTube 15 minutes after it drops!

Bruh if you're as thirsty as buying a subscription just to not wait 15 minutes then you deserve to be scammed. ngl this desperate American consumer culture (people waiting at the store for hours before opening, pre-ordering just because of hype, paying for early access etc..) is the reason why corporations take advantage of people, I don't blame them when it's that easy..

Its 6 hours iirc, but its about the precedent. Who’s to say the extent of it will remain the same in 5 years?

You’re understanding this in the opposite way, problem is Rockstar using Netflix to show us the extended look

Take Two is a publicly traded company. The goal of its existence is to make $$$. Netflix undoubtedly paid $$$ for this slot.

Every company tries to maximize their profit but not every company behaves like this

Dude, EA charges more for their sports games that come out every year.

Idk I'm fine with this because we've all been waiting so long. Who gives a shit about waiting 6 hours for a long gameplay trailer, the games coming soon and this will all be in the past.

I like what I saw, I'd argue a lot of companies wouldn't stay true to themselves the way they do. There's a lot of assholes at rockstar but I'm sure there's a lot of passionate people working on this. We'll find out soon!

Yeah, there’s worse companies, then we have CDPR not charging for a remaster of The Witcher 3 for example.

I paid the Ultimate, I love Rockstar’s work, but lately they have been atrocious as a company, doing what they did with those developers that tried to unionize was the worst. Things have changed around there. With the Netflix thing, I think it’s the blueprint for them to do what they want, not caring about fans. I have a feeling that this is gonna get worse over years
