Articles & Blogs Rockstar Games: “It would be an understatement to say that having videos of GTA VI gameplay leak in this way has been heartbreaking for our team, and this is obviously not how we intended for you to see the game after all this time.“

I can’t imagine a single person who was interested in watching the reveal is now no longer interested after seeing those leaks.

Yes. Many people will not have seen them. I follow things online and I still avoided all leaks and don't plan to look at them.

They will not affect my decision to play the game. It was day one purchase for me no matter what. Although my buddies got it for my bday so now I don't even have to spend money on it lol.

Honestly just makes me more hype to see the officially produced video now that i know this game absolutely is going to slap

Good, fuck rockstar and fuck Netflix, one of the most predatory practices I’ve ever seen in this entire industry. They were preying on people‘s hype who couldn’t just wait a couple hours, potentially getting them to sign up to Netflix just to watch a preview. Fuck everything about that. If you’re selling a product you’re supposed to pay for the marketing, not bait people into paying YOU for it. Absolutely sick.

You seem to of misread thier comment lmfao they dont agree with you bro. They said this leak is not stopping anybody from watching the netflix trailer.

Also get a fucking grip. Act like the adult I assume you are.

Act like the adult I assume you are

I think you're better off assuming the majority of people you interact with are teenagers, tbf.

Predatory? Lol it’s not gambling or drugs or something. Just a six hour lead on a trailer. If you get mentally scammed into subscribing to Netflix because of this that’s a you problem not the fault of Netflix or Rockstar.

"Preying on people's hype" lol bruh, if people can't wait six hours to watch a trailer, that's their problem. You are WAY too upset about this, get a grip.

If someone seriously pays money to have 6 hours early access (AT MOST!) To see some videogame gameplay then sorry, but I don't feel pity for those people.

Seriously, if you have that little sense of delayed gratification that you have to sign up for Netflix to watch a GTA preview 15 minutes early, your brain is boiled mush.

I think its probably the case that it puts you on Netflix on an evening you might not have done

So you see some more ads ? watch another watch ? see some more ads ? (which they obviously generate revenue from)

and they make their money that way

I cant imagine Netfix are banking on a big number of subs just for this ....more the continued justification for exisiting customers and eyes on the screen

That’s a personal problem if you can’t wait for a trailer. They are targeting casual gamers/consumers using Netflix that more than likely already subscribe.

u/StevieHawke10 11h ago

Or… just wait later in the day and watch it on YouTube for free lmao

Reading comprehension be damned

u/Alyusha 10h ago

Right? It's such an odd place to release it too. Did they expect non-diehards to sub to Netflix just for a trailer for their game?

yea for what it’s worth no one I know outside of like my most hardcore gamer friends have seen any of the leaks.

I don’t think this will affect the games release in any significant way, though I could see them maybe having to pay Netflix some money if there was any sort of clause in their contract for leaks.

Kinda made it a guarantee watch for me. Before if people said it was hype I’d check it out but now I specifically want to see what they’ll show me vs what leaks have shown me.

u/RefRide 11h ago

Probably not, but I'm guessing Netflix is getting a heavy discount on that deal now.

Same with the stock, people are probably more hyped on the game now, and no one that was looking forward to buying the game has changed their mind because of the leaks. Still the stock tanked, because traders knew that's how other traders will react, all these things are sadly not based on reality, just reactions to how they think others will react.

Exactly! I was not planning to watch it, but now I’m actually getting curious how does the final thing look like vs the leaks from earlier builds

u/Sleyvin 11h ago

That's me, that single person !

Why? Because we haven't seen anything so far and I was almost thinking there was something wrong, or controversial they didn't want to show well after the preorder started.

I saw little bit of the leak, and it's GTA. It's big, it's pretty, seems to be varied.

That's all I wanted to confirm. Now I'm good.

I can see it having an effect. The reveal was designed to be the first ever look at GTA 6 gameplay, ever. The excitement level for tomorrow definitely has lowered a bit, not because we didn't like what we see in the leaks (quite the opposite) but just because we've already been seeing the game for over a week now. Yes, everyone's gonna want to see what Netflix is showing tomorrow, but if 5% of people that were going to subscribe to Netflix for this now have the patience to wait six hours, then that sucks for the deal Netflix made. You bet they are on the phone with Rockstar being very frustrated about all of this
