    The article you’re commenting on is literally about the game’s unsustainable hype and its impact on the industry.

    It won Most Anticipated at TGA.

    This is far from my favourite series, just enjoy shining a light on insane takes on Lemmy!

      shrug Idk that it’s 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.
