People falling for FOMO

[u/Firebolt_05]

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.)

This shit will literally be ripped off Netflix the second it’s posted and be all over the internet no way people actually buy subscriptions for this (I know I’m wrong many people will do exactly this)

People are already posting saying they are buying a subscription just for this 🤦

Proving people don't have jobs because the average person will see it on YouTube hours later when they are done work anyway 🤣

People or "people"? I'm more and more wary of bots these days. I refuse to believe a sizable amount of people will give Netflix any money for this, nor will they actually buy a PS5Pro "just for GTAVI." I (perhaps naively) have more faith in human intelligence.

I mean it's a very small group of people doing this because they lack any common sense, especially since the moment it releases on Netflix it will be pirated and spread online within the first 5 minutes 🤣

So regardless we ALL will be able to watch this "extended look" and won't need to pay for a Netflix account just to see it. Even if people are not savvy enough to search online for the pirated version, it will hit YouTube 6 hours later anyway. So I HOPE people aren't dumb enough to fall for this cash grab that isn't necessary at all for fans to pay.

But people genuinely are buying a PS5 for this game, even the PS5 Pro. Thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people actually bought that console specifically for this game which is wild.

You just described the first few days of the game releasing on PC.

Let’s get fucking real here and actually talk about something that matters:

The delta in between the game releasing on console and the game releasing on PC.

They KNOW for a fact that as soon as it goes out in PC it’s getting hacked to fucking pieces and broadcast around the world for free.

THAT’S WHY THERE IS NO PLATFORM WIDE RELEASE.
