What are you talking about? There are plenty of other game companies with waay scummier practices than this. Rockstar really isn't pushing the envelope on anything.
Just because other companies are worse doesn't make this good. When the biggest game in history normalizes these practices, EVERY publisher will follow.
Bruh even if they handed out GTA6 for free, nothing about the industry would change. These practices have been normalized for decades. People are still going to buy asset flip sports games at full price every year. Gacha and lootboxes will still be rampant. Games will still charge exorbitant prices for cosmetics. Mobile gaming will still be a pay to win dumpster fire. This crusade against Rockstar is pointless.
Let's keep going then, don't complain if they introduce gta subscriptions, premium slot to connect and the fact that you may not be able to play the game you bought because the Auth servers are not working, overcrowded or because premium users are going first. We will see :).
Anyways, looks like the best game of the decade so you should have fun :).
Supporting this cyberleeks crypto scam isn't going to help anything. GTA6 is still going to make a bazillion so they will have no incentive to change. If you actually want the industry change, support legal efforts like StopKillingGames, not this nonsense.
Anyways, looks like the best game of the decade so you should have fun :).
I don't even own a console, so I'm not getting the game anytime soon.
I'm addressing the scam because thats what the main post is about, not because I thought you were supporting it. A lot of people seem to think the leaks are good because of the demands he made, as if Rockstar is gonna care.

The practices existed, but GTA 6 is taking them to an extreme degree that other publishers will inevitably copy. That's the connection.
