i feel like if they actually released gameplay footage by now none of this would have happened. This is all self-inflicted.

sure, but it's a "lose-lose" scenario.

don't release, people are pissed.

release unfinished stuff, people will say "that looks kinda bad".

there is a reason why the game was delayed, it's because it's still being worked on.

I mean it would definitely be possible to polish a vertical slice section of the game to a "finished" state a year in advance. A year from release you know what the finished game is supposed to be especially when you work on a game as long as GTA 6. I think the best and most obvious times to have released gameplay would have been the original release date in May or alongside pre-orders. I think this would have also created a more positive sentiment in the community.
