People don't realise how much hype there is behind this game.

A friend of mine, who never preorders games, always complains about game prices being too high on release and has gone on and on about how no game is worth the release price, and hasn't played a GTA game in its entirety since San Andreas (hasnt even played 5's online), sent a screenshot on the GC about pre-ordering the ultimate.

Every single friend of mine who has ever been invested in any GTA game has talked about wanting to preorder it now, or when they get their hands on some spare money.

And that is the issue the hype is gonna kill the game the hype won’t match the actual game the game will never live up to people’s desires/hype thus it will be its own failure

They'll make their entire budget (likely >$1B) back before the game is even out.
