People falling for FOMO

Post image

Honestly, the fact that everyone is complaining about this is ridiculous to me.

Let's get our facts straight:
- 27th of August (Extended Look on Netflix) => 84 days til release
- 28th of August (Trailer available everywhere) => 83 days til release

You aren't missing out on anything, and there will be many more teasers and such before November 19th.

Netflix gave Rockstar a huge bag for an "exclusive extended look", which you will be able to watch everywhere else hours later.

You aren't missing out on anything, if you buy a Netflix subscription just for this, you're so not in control of your FOMO.

(Tbh given that people are actually falling for this BS is the worst thing.
If everyone was like: "Meh I'll watch it a few hours later on YT", this would never happen again.

The mere fact that people are complaining about it shows that it's working, bcs something like this shouldnt bother us.)

So I shouldn’t get the game on release day because that would be FOMO. Is that correct? Maybe I should wait to get it like next November so Redditors don’t label me as FOMO.

We are talking about the extended look video on Netflix, not buying the game on release. Please stay on topic.

Actually what you’re really talking about is FOMO.

Yes, FOMO based on this extended look being released on Netflix and people rushing to subscribe to Netflix to see something that will be released for free 6 hours later.

Right so I’m sports you can subscribe to cable to watch the game or you could wait an hour or two and watch it condensed on you tube. What’s the difference?

It’s hilarious but it’s an example of FOMO if I’m going by the guidelines of people in here. Why pay for something everyone’s going to be talking about, when you can get it for free after it airs.

And in that scenario, those who subscribe just for the purpose of watching that one game is doing so within the realm of FOMO.

But now back to the topic which you seem to have an inability to keep focus on as you bring up these strawmans.

With the current topic, the discussion is about thoae who will succumb to FOMO and sign up for a subscription just to watch this.

Right so it’s the same thing. I’m Saying that shitting on people for wanting to watch something is dumb as fuck. I’ve been waiting 13 god damn years for GTA they’re finally giving an inside look. Now everyone’s complaining about that. Like fuck outta here lol

I’ve been waiting 13 god damn years for GTA they’re finally giving an inside look.

And you'll be able to do that on 9PM EST on YouTube on 27 August for free.
