'This Is Unbelievably Scummy' - GTA 6 Fans Are Annoyed By Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game
Grand Theft Auto 6 fans aren't thrilled with Rockstar's decision to release the next look at the game through Netflix.
Grand Theft Auto 6 fans have expressed discontent over Netflix's paywalled release of an extended look at the highly anticipated game on August 27. Rockstar Games confirmed the exclusive debut on the streaming platform, which will also be accessible on YouTube six hours later, but behind a Netflix subscription. This move has been labeled as "unbelievably scummy" by some, with fans questioning why Netflix was chosen for the event, given its history of server issues during high-traffic events.
The concern is that fans may be tempted to subscribe to Netflix just for this glimpse, even if it's only for a brief period. There's also uncertainty about what will be shown in this preview, with speculation ranging from gameplay footage to a lengthy trailer. The announcement has added to the growing list of frustrations fans have regarding GTA 6, including the game's disc-less release and its $80 price point, with certain content only accessible through an $100 ultimate edition.
Despite these issues, Rockstar and Netflix's partnership is expected to make GTA 6 one of the biggest entertainment releases in history.
