At this rate, the PS6 will be out by the time this game is ready.
Yeah, I’d imagine the remaining staff retaliating because they did some union busting and fired a bunch of people will do that.
Keep in mind GTA V alone literally made them BILLIONS.

All I care about is when I can download the cracked PC version.

Had my money on a 2027 release for the PC after the first trailer dropped in late 2023. Looks like i wasnt pessimistic enough even though i accounted for a console exclusive year and a rather big delay. Maybe by 2028 the AI bubble will have popped and GPUs are affordable again.

The first time it was announced for Holiday season 2025, right?
Anyway: For AAA releases I always assume [Announced release year + 1 year]
It always get’s postponed for one year. So far every occurence has been confirming my hypothesis.edgemaster72@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Even if the AI bubble bursts by then, chuds will probably come up with some new bullshit to keep the market inflated, just like scalpers, crypto miners, and NFT weirdos before them.

Remember you are still supporting them by pirating it and talking about it. Boycott for real.

I remember when GTA 5 came out, everybody was excited. San Andreas had been HUGE. Both in map size, and in game sales.
I bought it day 1. Then the PS4 came out, and GTA5 for PS4. By this point we all knew what GTA5 was.
My friend wanted so badly for me to buy a PS4, just to buy GTA 5 again, just so he’d have someone to play with.
Then PS5 came out. Same story.
I actually bought a PS4 at some point. Regret it. Barely ever played it.
Then I bought a PS5. Regret it. Barely ever play it.
And now that I know how microtransaction laiden GTA is, I’ll be skipping GTA6 entirely.
Now I see them firing a bunch of people. A few days later I see GTA6 is delayed until this time next year.
Why would anyone be excited for a series that now peaked 21 years ago, and has only had 1 other release in that time?

I understand why youre not interested and I also don’t care for it, but it’s disingenuous to say it isn’t one of the most hyped games of all time. The first trailer has 268 million views on youtube and that’s only on the official channel. People are excited.

Did you forget about GTA 4?
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
I’d take GTA 4 or 5 over San Andreas, easily. And at this point, a large part of the appeal is GTA Online for a ton of folks; not me, but a ton of folks.

4 was a masterpiece. The story is supurb.

I still play GTA Vice City and Vice City Stories.. I never looks back or forward from that moment.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 hours ago
GTA peaked with SA, not 4, so it’s been longer than 21 years.

How are other publishers supposed to avoid the release date if it keeps changing?
SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
It’s actually close to around the time Activision releases Call of Duty games, and that year’s CoD will be MW4. I HOPE all the Infinity Ward higher ups are having heart attacks right now, after what they did to the CoD matchmaking they deserve every game of theirs to flop.
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
Well, it keeps getting pushed back, not forward, so that helps.

It really doesn’t. Because now that is lost revenue for a month/quarter for no reason at all.

They have 2 years left before GTA6 becomes DNF 2.0.

Where does Elder Scrolls 6 fit in there? I have a feeling it’s going to go even longer in development than GTA.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 hours ago
Elder Scrolls 6 has been in development 1 year less than GTA6.

Eh, fuck it. I have no need for more “douche and a turd sandwich” “both sides suck” humor in the 2020s and I have zero desire to give rockstar any money after their blatant union busting.

Oh my, guess all that “not” union busting mess is backfiring on them big time.
SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
That’s literally what happened, the remaining devs are revolting.
ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 14 hours ago

FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 18 hours ago
Did they try to deny the obvious union busting?
lath@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
Yeah. Said the fired workers were sharing company secrets on discord instead of having union chats.
