there are lots of popular things that aren't for me. that's normal. but watching the GTA 6 hype from outside the bubble feels different. what do you mean there's a gameplay reveal exclusive to netflix. why is the tone of every announcement if this game doesn't sell 100 million copies we're all dead

GTA 6 feels less like a game and more some kind of totem for a certain kind of dying gamer identity, that cannot economically or culturally sustain itself anymore. it represents a million different things and seemingly the least important of them is that it is an open world mission based video game

ive felt a very big disconnect between the hype of gta 6 as a mystical object and the reality of gta 6 as, a gta game, a normal open world videogame that you play like any other videogame

the obscene hype around gta6 feels very performative and born out of the prolonged wait and its status rather than reality, but maybe normies are just like that for gta
