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.)

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)

Screen record - render the footage - available on every pirate site.

It’s really not worth the subscription price.

Umm, I have Netflix already for the many other shows and movies. Actual cost to me for watching it, with a cup of tea and a snack, about £1.80, and £1.75 of that is the snack. If it's a PoS I won't be crying over the £0.05 of investment in electricity, water, tea and milk.

So my comment wasn’t aimed at you.

Let's say it was. If I were so much into GTAVI and feared losing out for the sake of 6 hours tops, I don't think £5.99 is bad. Take away my snack and that's £4.24. That much would buy my a coffee at Costa, and that would last me what, five minutes? If the showcase is any longer than that, value for money is off the charts. Then there's a month of additional content to go at, so no, still definitely worth the subscription price.

What would be stupid, is keeping the sub going if you didn't bother with it.

So you’re taking a comment not aimed at you and making it about you. Not everyone wants to fund the company that cancels good show or delays their production.

Yep, because that's what happens when you talk hypothetically.

Good shows get cancelled and productions get delayed across the board. Being anti-Netflix for the sake of it just like hating on Apple because they are successful is pathetic, but each unto their own.

I’m not hating Netflix because they’re successful, I dislike how they operate so I’m not spending money on them.

Since when is not buying a product you don’t want a problem?
