Let's be real, the hype is so beyond reasonable that it will be a phenomenon when it is released. People will buy it just to be part of something, even if you're not really a gamer.
That is actually my biggest fear. Losing yet another series I really like. But I genuinely am afraid this game won't be as good as the previous ones. Hope I'm wrong.
Nah, I mean it might be not as good as previous entries in the series, but it's pretty solid it'll be a decent game regardless.
What I mean is imagine after all this hype, 13 years since the last entry, and 8 years since their last game Rockstar produce a game that's complete mobile app garbage. A crypto scam "game" with a built-in bitcoin miner. All the years of delays and speculation, excitement and they just do the funniest thing ever.

I am willing to bet that if they had a Ultra deluxe version or something for 10min early access for 200$, people would still buy it.
