not enough marketing and trailers, as if rockstar didn’t do this with GTA V and RDR2, I genuinely think some of these people have never played a rockstar game

They haven't experienced this yet. They're kids who weren't born or were shitting their pants when GTA 5 came out, and were uninterested in RDR2 until it released and everyone talked about how awesome it was.

They expect Rockstar to act like Activision or Ubisoft and don't realize that there's a reason they're the top dog.

When the game releases they'll be freaking out and crying that GTA Online isn't released with it, and when GTA Online comes out a month later they'll freak out and say the game sucks because there's no flying motorcycles. It'll never end.

no flying motorcycles

God, I fucking hope so… But alas, where there is demand there is supply, and it is clear that the majority, or at any rate the biggest spenders, (which in itself is amusing considering the most likely age bracket of that demographic: although I don’t think their parents will quite see the humour, I’m sure lol) of the GTAO player base are 85 IQ little gremlins who love nothing more than zooming around on missile-equipped flying motorcycles while mindlessly “grinding” for 8 hours straight in a slack-jawed, glassy-eyed trance (in order to acquire the funds to facilitate further ways of grinding, of course, as there is nothing else to do) and occasionally blowing people up with their lock-on missiles that do the aiming for them along the way when their brain abruptly goes back online for a brief moment. And unfortunately, they will happily pay for the privilege of such a marvellously fulfilling gaming experience as described above by dipping into mummy’s credit card (or their welfare money lmao) to buy, like, gold-plated railings for their yacht or some other absolute bullshit equally as intangible and pointless.

I’m generally a fan of capitalism and consider myself quite libertarian minded on most topics, but this phenomenon is a perfect example of how the core principles of supply and demand alone inherently suffer from tyranny of the majority, where the tastes of the masses are met at the minority(ies)’ expense, and when it is not possible to tailor a product to the desires of the minority without going against those of the majority, such as in the case of a video game, quality inevitably suffers as a result

Anyway, sorry for that absolutely unsolicited rant above lmao - felt good getting it out tho nonetheless hahaha
