Grand Theft Auto VI

Your example is dumb because the “beer” itself never changed, they just slapped some rando no one has ever heard of on their beercans and it pissed their core market off. The product itself was the same

Your analogy would only work if the GTA6 cover art was something that pissed the primary consumer market for the game off, but the game itself was the same product otherwise that their market enjoys

The game mechanics are the same, it’s the surface level message that may or may not have changed. Same thing.

It’s weird to me everyone assumes it’s going to be shit when at this point Rockstar has the best track record of any major developer.

X and YouTube told them to be mad, therefore they are. I heard you might be able to sometimes play as a female character, therefore this game = WOKE TRASH!!

Worse, they slapped some random onto ONE beer can that was never meant for sale and never was lol.

A better example would be if they changed the character on the cover to an animated version of an Asmongold-like "influencer" and sent it to them only and having people boycott the game.

Actually thats the exact example.

This "controversy" is retarded. Everyone is going to buy it/play it/stream it/talk about it. The Twitter crowd tried and failed at making it a cultural thing so they could mill hate clicks.
