“Don’t boycott GTA 6. Win justice for the people who helped make it. We spent years pouring our hard work, skill, and creativity into making GTA, and we want people to experience the universe that we helped build,” former developers said. “That doesn’t mean we want to let Rockstar off the hook.”
This guy does not understand how capitalism works.
Seeing how much they pivoted to multiplayer monetization in 5 post-release, I expect 6 will have barely any campaign with a roblox-like predatory multiplayer.
This expectation is crazy to me. Most of what we’ve seen in an official capacity is cut scenes for a story mode resembling what they’ve been putting out since 2008, and that’s if you ignore the fact that gameplay has leaked multiple times and there won’t even be multiplayer at launch. Smart money is that there’s a campaign like they’ve always made and then the online rolls out months later, like their last two games.
Setting your expectations based on marketing is truly “smart money”. It would be a nice surprise if that happened, but the monetary incentive pales in comparison.
I think the smart money is on them continuing to do what they’ve been doing for decades, which is the kind of campaign they’ve made for decades, especially since there’s no online mode out of the gate.
This is what I’ve told coworkers when this game comes up. I believe Rockstar themselves only referred to it as a single player experience.
