Putting out a pay walled ad is certainly a choice.

Jesus christ, Lemmy, you’re just on fire today. I’m starting to get bummed out. So all the people who don’t care about GTA:VI - why are you in this thread? Be glad that you don’t care about something. Does every post on the site need to cater to your whims? Ugh. I’m looking forward to the eventual PC release - if I’m still alive (I’m on dialysis, so that’s a little up in the air). I’m looking forward to the preview or whatever they release here. Since it’ll be on youtube a few hours after the Netflix release - ermagerd guess I’ll wait a few hours. Be a couple of years before I get it on PC anyway. So much drama that means nothing. Yeesh.

Okay hear me out. This comes out on Netflix and then is on YouTube 6 hours later. 6 hours is a long fucking time on the internet. This video is going to be leaked instantly. It will be posted and shared everywhere minutes after it ends. Not just leaked but I’m sure you can go to any number of discord servers and watch somebody stream it. Rockstar doesn’t care. Netflix doesn’t care. The goal is not a pay walled advertisement. It’s a stress test of Netflix live streaming. They need something so big yet so inconsequential to test this with. If it goes well, they can say “Hey, we tested it out, and we are capabe of streaming the Superbowl”. If it doesn’t work. Eh, just release it to YouTube, whatever. Thats my guess at least.
