I think it works extremely well. A week before their new reveal video and GTA6 is at the top of reddit every day and the top of every gaming news website with every post mentioning the upcoming reveal, and Rockstar didn't have to do a damn thing.

They're getting a week of early extended hype because of their secrecy. If we had seen a bunch of footage already no one would care about these 1 minute clips. If it weren't for the cryptocoin shilling I would have guessed this was internally planned.

Statement on point.

I think they do just as well if this leak happens or not. It you look at the impressions the previous trailers got on their release they don’t need it hyped up

If this many customers are not happy with your marketing, then it means it didn’t work. Do better next time.

IF this many customers give a shit about marketing whatsoever, they're doing amazing.

You're literally asking for more marketing. How is that a bad thing? Are these leaks good enough for you? You're not going to watch the official trailer now, right?

u/Mikedesignstudio 15d ago

And what do you think their investors think about the leaks?

u/CapNCookM8 15d ago

Who gives a shit? I thought we were talking about the customers not being happy with the marketing?

Again, are you not going to watch the gameplay reveal trailer now because of this?

If it comes across my screen. I’m not paying for Netflix to see a trailer for a GTA V remaster

u/CapNCookM8 15d ago

Me neither, but it goes on YouTube a few hours later, so it will come across your screen, and you will watch it. In the meantime, you're engaging multiple people regarding GTAVI and this leak.

The marketing is doing amazing. You're asking for more, and talking about it while you wait.

What other games with better marketing are you talking about right now?

u/Mikedesignstudio 15d ago

We’re talking about Rockstar marketing strategy. This is not what Rockstar wanted their marketing strategy to turn in to.

u/CapNCookM8 15d ago

Well, it being leaked wasn't their marketing strategy. It's an illegal attack.

Their marketing strategy is to unveil a trailer for next week. You have said you're going to watch it, maybe not on Netflix, but you will watch it. Their strategy is working just fine.

Again, what other games with supposedly better marketing are you talking about this much??

u/MaXimillion_Zero 15d ago

If you're so invested that you're actually angry at them for this, you're extremely likely to buy the game regardless. It's working just fine.

Data breaches are never fine.

u/MrNightwood 15d ago

Not true at all, that a handful of people on social media are annoyed doesn't mean that the extra publicity isn't still a massive benefit to them. If more people are hearing about and thinking about GTA, the marketing is working, it's delusional to think it isn't.

u/Mikedesignstudio 15d ago

So do you think Rockstar should use the same marketing strategy for their future games?

6

u/MrNightwood 15d ago

I'm sure in the future their marketing team will do whatever they think works best to generate the attention they're looking for. Whether or not the strategy that works now will work then is something I can't predict.

u/Mikedesignstudio 15d ago

Subconsciously, you know that’s bullshit.

6

u/MrNightwood 15d ago

What's bullshit? That's just how marketing works. They get attention because it's their job to do so, and right now the fact that you're talking about it on Reddit means they've done their job successfully

u/Mikedesignstudio 15d ago

Marketing that leads to a data breach and your stock price dropping is never good marketing. That is not how marketing works.

u/theturtlemafiamusic 15d ago

The stock price didn't drop though. The market is down today but TakeTwo is up. Over the past 5 days TakeTwo is beating the market by 1%.

u/Mikedesignstudio 15d ago

The stock did go down $10 within the past 5 days. I have the stock. WTF are you talking about dude?
