    Companies need to grow a spine. Good games sell regardless of what’s out. If your confidence in your own game is so low that you’d push it to a slow release date, it’s probably not worth playing anyway.

      Ask Titanfall 2 how well launching between Battlefield and CoD went for them

      Release dates of big games matter, people only have so much disposable income

    I’m not quite sure why they’re so concerned. I suspect they’re actually not and this is just things “analysts” say.

    I suspect that the release of GTA VI is going to be lukewarm compared to the release of GTA V, because everyone remembered what Rockstar did to GTA V. People are going to wait around and see how they handle GTA online because they need to do better than last time because last time was ridiculous.

    I’m certainly not all that interested in getting it day one and I know a lot of other people aren’t either.

      Released a fantastic game worth replaying multiple times?

      GTA Online =/= GTA V

    What’s with half the commenters acting like GTA V isn’t a great game?

    Y’all know GTA Online is a different game technically, yeah? The single player of GTA V is still there and even better now that Enhanced is on PC. Rockstar didn’t fuck Up RDR2s single-player Mode so why assume they would on this?
