You like the feeling of getting screwed enough that you don’t resent it. Noted.
And you call yourself anti-corporate and follow it up with I just want to have fun while the world ends and all the richies do it, so it isn’t that bad. What does anti-corporate mean to you?
And lastly, your Apple comparison is nonsensical. They sell a physical product and their digital products can essentially only run on their physical ones. They don’t lose sales from a leak in the same way a playable PC version of GTA VI could.
That said, of course rockstar will still release it, especially since a functioning playable version hasn’t leaked to the public at this point.
If someone’s experience with the GTA franchise is “every time I’ve played GTA, I’ve had a blast” then how is expecting the game to be good screwing yourself?
You make it sound like people hate GTA games, yet still just eat them up. There’s a reason they are ridiculously popular, and it’s not because rockstar is greedy.
I did not say “all the riches do it so I should too”. We’re talking about video games here.
I don’t understand your point to be honest. All I’m ever used to is corporate ass fucking, excuse my French. My Apple comparison was deliberate because hear me out: With GTA, you know exactly what product you’re getting when you sign up. With Apple, you know exactly what product you’re getting when you sign up. I’m not surprised that people decide to buy the next IPhone before it’s even announced or advertised, it’s an IPhone, it’s too big to fail.
If GTA 6 is a bad, no fun experience, I’ll eat my words. But in no world by purchasing it (I don’t pre order games anymore) am I in love with “the feeling of being screwed”.
I grew up in 2000s America, buddy. I knew what loot boxes and micro transactions were before I knew who Karl Marx even was. I grew up on Sony and other corporate record labels selling me products like Punk Rock as anti-establishment art. All I’ve ever known is the feeling of being fucked by corporations.
And I’m sorry to say, but story wise, RDR2 is one of the best games I’ve ever played. GTA 4 & 5, when they came out, 2 of the best games I’ve ever played. Compare that directly to Fallout new Vegas, my favorite game ever to Fallout 4, which I hated and I did not enjoy playing really at all. I’ve stopped caring about Bethesda as a company 100%.
It’s like when they announced Better Call Saul, I didn’t ever glaze it before watching and I wasn’t thrilled about it being Netflix but I know that team doesn’t hire sub-par writers, amd it’s a prequel to my favorite TV show.
I’m a man with simple tastes, even basic taste in movies, TV and Video Games. I’m not afraid to admit that. Rockstar games are for people like me: simple, story driven, mindless fun and you can kill cops. All that stuff is gonna be in GTA 6 so I’m gonna play it and probably have fun.
Sorry if that bothers you, if you really think being anti corporate is just not engaging with buying anything then I got bad news for you, no ethical consumption under capitalism and all that
You should probably abstain from seeing any movies, buying electronics, playing videogames, eating fast food and literally all restaurant food (unless you love Sysco, USFoods), cars, reading books/manga, Sports, music, streaming CDs or records/casettes, concerts/festivals/, YouTube, the list goes on but I digress cuz I gotta actually get off the shitter and go work lol
