shrug Idk if it's really that insane. Tbh I'm not convinced the hype isn't being manufactured. I have a cousin who's a pretty bog standard, flavor-of-the-month gamer, and he's said nothing about GTA VI.

Not saying you're necessarily wrong, I guess, just that something seems off.

    Grand Theft Auto V came out 12 years ago and has been in the top ten best sellers almost every single month since then. It's not manufactured; you're just very out of the loop. It's one of the biggest money makers in all of video games. They spent an estimated $2B on GTA6 and will almost certainly make it back within days, not years.

    They’ll make it back in HOURS, especially if it launches on PC same day. I went to the V night launch way back when. There were 500+ people in line at the store I went to. I didn’t sleep for three days after getting it. The hype train is only getting started and will ramp up to supersonic once we get a firm date. I’ll be buying a copy for every platform that I own. It’s going to be sheer fucking pandemonium.

    That guy has NO CLUE whatsoever in terms of GTA hype and popularity.
