Wow, this makes history. The first time a video game advertisement was paywalled behind a subscription for 6 hours. What a shitty thing to make history for.

I expected shit from TakeTwo but this is at another level.

You know, I’m starting to think maybe they’re milking this whole GTA VI thing…

Starting to think? Rockstar has been doing this even before starting developing the game, easy money for them

I'm curious about how much a 10 pull will be.

Hard pass

Why the downvotes? Is it because the news are bad?

Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 21d (1 reply)

I'm tired of hearing about GTA 6.

Can't wait to upgrade my PC with some new DDR5 to be able to play it. Oh, hold on why is everything scalper priced

(I know why)

Maybe because they put what is essentially an ad behind a subscription service.

ampersandrew@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 21d

I'd say that's what makes it news.

People downvote things they don't personally like, instead of things that don't fit or add to the community. Whether or not I'm interested in GTA 6, I think news about it is important to the industry and adds to this community.

If it was a link to an external news article on it sure, but this is just advertising, it links directly to Netflix and their big SUBSCRIBE NOW button.

Wow, good shout. I actually didn't notice that. I had already read this article on Euro gamer and totally assumed this was the same link!

FatVegan@leminal.space · 2 pts · 20d
