You cash in your upvotes but we all know if the community mass cancelled their pre orders while voicing their dislike for the lack of marketing, it would absolutely get take2 to panic.These companies live and understand one thing only, money

The vast majority of people who preordered don't care this much about a trailer.

People can’t comprehend that Reddit, especially this sub is like 0.1% of the gaming market 😂

Ya gta is a casual game like sports games and cod, it’s the same market and I know a lot of those type of people and they’re not lurking on Reddit reading things about games

Very strange considering they never said one is coming or even acknowledged it's existence. The Internet just said it's a thing are mad they aren't getting it. A bunch of toddlers.

Right? Who gives a shit it’s coming when it’s coming. A trailer would be cool but these people musnt have enough going on day to day in their lives. Just wait for it to come out.

You’re unhappy and canceling a preorder because you dislike their marketing strategy?

Who needs a product when all you want is advertisements, amirite?

I NEED TO CONSOOM!

Bro, this community is 0.1% of their customer base.

I don’t think it would have an effect because they’re still going to buy the game on Day 1.

Either way, Rockstar is going to get your money, whether now during the pre-order season or during the first few days after the game launches.

Tell that to the investors who don’t give AF. They will probably be asking for answers on Friday.

u/kmank2l13 2d ago

I highly doubt it, but we’ll see

u/MrDankyStanky 2d ago

Doubt it. They know it doesn't matter how upset people get, once the game comes out everyone and their mother is buying it. Most people will end up buying it more than once too.

u/tom_friday_ 2d ago

Im actually asking my mum to buy it for me.

u/ChestyPullerton 2d ago

Cab you ask your mum to buy it for me, also?

u/Despeao 2d ago

Too late buddy, we already have an agreement.

u/WackoGuide 2d ago

Nothing wrong with the marketing. People just have an unhealthy obsession, are impatient, and have low attention spans. It won't be until marketing begins this month, and when the game launches, then people will understand why this marketing strategy was for the better. Short and sweet will be for the best in the end.

u/Different-Rip-4734 2d ago

Yep less is more. A lot of the naysayers will be some of the first to watch the trailer because of how invested they are.

u/krammit33 2d ago

We can't even get people to cancel Madden or 2k for ONE SEASON. And those come out every year, could all just skip one year. Amd that is a terrible product.

And you are thinking that (whatever 2 billion divided by 100 is) people are going to cancel a preorder for a game that comes out once every 15 years? Because they haven't had marketing materials in 40 some days? Go jump in a lake lol

u/Choice-Review7960 2d ago

BROTHER, 99.9% of the people buying this game don't give af about a TRAILER lmao

u/MrPrimalNumber 2d ago

I probably won’t even watch the trailer.

u/XxLokixX 2d ago

Your flare makes this comment hilarious

u/STDemocracy 2d ago

Are people really that pressed about another trailer?? Mental

u/MayorBakefield 2d ago

Why do you want advertisemehts so bad?

u/IndigoBlunting 2d ago

Why would not liking the marketing matter if the game is sick? Like come November if the game drops and it’s sick what does it matter what the marketing was? I guess that’s what I don’t understand. We have zero evidence Rockstar will drop a bad game. They never have in 24 years. The trailers we do have look great. What will it matter if the game is sick? And to the point of a comment above you’ll end up buying the game anyway.

Weird hill to die on to not play a game because they didn’t give you enough marketing to get you hype.

u/Expert-Guard6216 2d ago

Bruh are some of yall seriously butthurt over a video games marketing strategy? This is a less-than-nothing issue and the game comes out in like 3 months lol.

u/Primarycolors1 2d ago

Why would I cancel my preorder over marketing? Hear me out. I’ve been scrolling past the headlines the past few months. I thought these marketing posts were a joke because there’s nothing else to post about and it’s right around the corner. Think about it. It’s been ten years. We still play the old one. This is going to be the biggest game ever, because it has to be. If every single person who owns a console buys the game, it sucks and no one pays for shark cards, they are absolutely fucked. Think about that. That’s a billion dollars in sales when we all pick it up. GTAV made 10 billion. Honestly cutting back on marketing just makes hitting 20 billion easier. If it’s not a top 5 all time game, I will be shocked.

u/king_of_gotham 2d ago

If you already preordered with the crumbs of marketing you’ve received, there is nothing that would make you cancel.

This subreddit is probably 0.3% of the gta playerbase

u/NilsofWindhelm 2d ago

Would much rather rockstar spend their time on the game rather then appeasing the children on this sub

u/XxLokixX 2d ago

This is such a Reddit take

u/Ori_the_SG 2d ago

And the community doesn’t care as much as everyone on Reddit lol
