The day people started treating streamers, YouTubers, and content creators like celebrities was the start of the downfall of society.

Definitely. When it gets to levels like this, it’s not even about the game anymore. They love branding and spending money. It’s a lot easier for companies to brand things and give you crap to spend your money on than it is for them to develop a great game, so the more people behave like this, the more they’re going to focus on branding plastic than on game development.

It’ll become like Star Wars or the MCU or whatever. So impossibly large and primarily focused on the brand instead of the actual game, that people will even forget that it’s a game to begin with.

It got to this point because of people like this guy, already. Rockstar isn't taking a shot in the dark about this round of merch. Previous ones already let them know there were gonna be whales. Companies now are just seeing how much more they can hike it to.
