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.

people being negative just to be negative.

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.

Supposedly Rockstar tried to bring Daft Punk out of retirement by giving them an "unlimited" budget to score the game, but the deal fell through.

That "Flower in a Hurricane" song is a banger though.

Are you that retarded? Industry and product doesn’t matter. You said Rockstar has a good track record. Ok, so DID Budweiser, regardless of your opinion on their beer. They still fucked up and went hard left. THATS the fear everyone has about GTA. Prior record doesn’t necessarily have any bearing on the future.
Or, are you incapable of an adult discussion and you’ll just sperg out in response?

Anheuser-Busch has partnered with and sponsored Gladd for 20+ years. Them partnering with some TikToker wasnt out of the ordinary for them, it was continuing the track record that you just said “had been good”.

Comparing their “corporate values” to a video game publisher that has made billions on games killing cops and hookers and has produced banger after banger is a leap and at the very least, retarded.

It could suck, but sitting here and saying it’s going to suck is a wild statement when there’s nothing to base that on.

I thought the game trailer was kinda meh considering the hype for the game. "Are we gonna be ok?" as a statement without real context just showing a bunch of ... activities?

More interested in the eventual story trailer.

That said, if you get a pet military dog that's in the trailer for a second..... yes please.

Has there ever been a good GTA trailer? I’ve watched them for 25+ years and they’re always the same formula of licensed music, some out of context dialogue with characters, and random shit showing off the open world and stuff you can do in it

The only thing that should concern you is the weird redemption angle they are going with. These are supposed to be unhinged criminals. Not some love story about they were just misunderstood.
