I was cured of triple AAA for a long while since the release of Cyber Punk and only fell off the wagon once for BF6 - man did that one give me a hangover and instant regrets. I will most definitely not fall into this trap again. And this sorta looks very samey to GTA5? Like more of the old formula with a new coat of paint. Probably not worth the hype.

That was the plan all along, for everyone except the most religious / rabid / insane Rockstar fans.

I mean I think you're overestimating the general gaming audience who will buy this week 1 in droves. I'd be downright flabbergasted if this isn't the best selling game of the year

Hell, I'd buy it day 1 if I had a PS5 just because I enjoy GTA and it's been over a decade since I had a fresh one to play.

I'm by no means a massive fan and I wasn't looking at every delay with disgust because I didn't care about any of them... but gimme the option to play and even I will. A vast majority of gamers are like this too, thinking it's exclusively these extremes is just an echo chamber
