You are not the only one... I wouldn't be surprised, Rockstar is completely shameless.

    You think the Rockstar marketing team is trying to scam people with a shitcoin? I am not shure even greedy CEOs would sign that...

    I mean that and the leaker is German and has been active for a while as it seems

    “You think the Rockstar marketing team is trying to scam people with a shitcoin?”

    Absolutely. Did you forget how predatory GTA Online is? Seems absolutely on brand for them to monetize their guerrilla advertising tactics.

    As always I am so glad I don't give a damn about a good many things: GTA, collecting Pokemon cards, historical accuracy in movies etc.

    historical accuracy in movies

    It would be nice to have this occasionally.

    Yeah it's a nice touch, plus it has the benefit of not warping shitloads of peoples concept of history and reality as severely as we see with popular media that does throw all historical accuracy out the window.

    Just like GTA 5, I'll wait for the PC version to go on a sale.

    It'll take a few years, but it's GTA, which makes it an easy wait for me.

    I played the GTA5 campaign once, played maybe 100 hours of the online multiplayer with friends, and we all decided it was over hyped.

    The game looks nice, it'll hopefully play well, but I just don't get the hype.

    I may not even play this one. There are several other games that take my interest over what I have seen so far. It's going to take a massive amount of good press to make me interested. And that's just the game itself. I am not happy that they fired all their devs and don't really want to give them money for being a shitbag company.

    After not being able to play the games I bought because you now need a rockstar account to log in (and their whatever behind the scenes won't let me log in, and their website quite literally just directs you around and around for hours until you get told to email the support...

    nah, rockstar can suck my left heel and tell me they love, or I'm never making a decision that will put money in their pockets again.

    I'm really starting to think this game will suck

    They have made up controversy to sell GTA since at least the second or 3rd game, so it wouldn't surprise me at all. Even the hacker's group sounds like some bullshit made up for the game's universe. Like LifeInvader or GruppeSechs.

    The entire premise of the first game was designed to create controversy. This game was one of the OGs that local news would run stories about to showcase how violent media was bad for kids. This was in the long long ago though, when companies that served up content were held to standards

    The first GTA was originally meant to just be a racing game. A bug with how the cops chased you got them to pivot and focus on that as the central mechanic. They also leaned into PR gained by a parents group who were outraged by the violence after the game's release, but didn't manufacture their own controversy until the second game.

    Honestly haven't seen any discussion of the game outside of the leak drama, so it's plausible.

    Nah, I'm standing by this conspiracy as well. Something is off about it - the timing, the fkn amateur "hacker" etc

    Plus rockstar have drummed up drama in the past to promote their games

    It's not like they even have to market it.
