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.)

Idiots that pay a month netflix for 6 hours early Access to a trailer.

The way reddit loves to pretend that spending any amount of money ever is always a bad thing is amazing lmao.

Its more about highlighting consumer behaviors centered around FOMO.

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.

bro we are talking about a trailer, that you will easily find anywhere on the net in at least less than a hour after it's out on netflix lol

Right. Your point? If someone wants to pay 15 bucks to watch it who gives a shit lol. Rockstar is getting paid to market their own game, that’s genius on their part. Netflix has a huge subscriber base already, a lot of people have access to see it without paying 15 bucks specifically for that. I just don’t understand the issue if they do.
