Can’t use the word “buy” if you can’t actually buy the thing.

    Millions will, and Rockstar will make billions, but don’t buy it at launch anyway. Get it on a sale or pirate it when it comes to PC instead.

      It’s pretty sad you have to tell people to pirate when honestly no one should be playing it at all. even discussing it helps them. If this is so bad, which I think it is because I’ve quit buying/playing games almost 10 years ago, Then the answer is to not engage.

      This isn’t food.

      There are so many independent studio/artist making things that desperately need your help in anyway. To read share and engage with their shit. Every minute spent with a major corps bullshit piece of entertainment Is time taken away from the independent artist. Every minute you spend engaging with this complaining or not, helps them.

      Once again we all suffer because of the stupid majority. Imagine if everyone closed their wallets to the likes of google, meta, apple, rockstar.

          In my experience, I’m the one who gets shamed for not being in walled gardens of google/apple/meta when everyone else is. Network effect is powerful

          Does it though? Pre-orders have been constantly shamed since the '90s and, if anything, they’re even more prevalent today without the ability to get anything physical.
