Not that it won't be leaked elsewhere within 20 minutes of going live. I still don't get why people care about a new gra. It'll play exactly the same as the last 3. Also... Once good company? Haven't they been abusive to their employees for a long ass time? Huge amounts of crunch, mass layoffs after releases? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago Its GTA. Anything they do is an amazingly brilliant effective tactic because it will work no matter what it is. I would fucking love to work advertising there.
