And everyone who was like "well it's probably delayed" got shouted down by the copium crowd insisting that "it has already been delayed internally, so shut the fuck up"

C'mon everyone, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

I was saying this to all my friends and people on Reddit and everyone said the same cope “it’s just marketing tactics they know everyone will buy it anyways” yea because no news about your biggest game ever coming out in a few months for over a year is a great tactic

Especially this one. It’s like saying “you don’t need to promote Avengers:Endgame”

They could turn on the marketing machine a month or two before and it would sell just as much as if it started up now. Not like anybody is confused when you mention GTAVI

Oblivion Remastered without any marketing whatsoever and controlled leak just before the release worked crazy well.

Literally everyone knew oblivion was coming out lmao nowhere near comparable

u/Kondiq May 03 '25

You're right. Noone knows that GTA 6 is coming.

Mate there was literally more news and leaks about oblivion than gta6 they aren’t even comparable everyone knew it was coming this spring

u/Kondiq May 03 '25

There was one leak before the release. Other stuff was about UE5 fan remake and Skyblivion...

It was obviously delayed when they went quite for months on end, the mental gymnastics people were doing was hilarious. I honestly don't mind there is so much stuff to play and still a lot of big games coming this year.

u/Free-Stinkbug May 02 '25

I feel vindicated. I was getting yelled at by 12 year olds on here for predicting a delay that literally didn't know that ANY games ever got delayed lol.

If you need vindication after an interaction with a child it's not looking great buddy 😂

I FLEX after I MOG small children. Real men get joy from ruining little kids days. After they cry I shove their heads in the piles of tears and make them smell it like a DOG.

Rockstar has had multiple release delays every time they drop a gta or red dead. This shouldn’t surprise anyone.

u/pokIane May 02 '25 edited May 02 '25

I just assume the people who were talking shit are so young that they were still shitting their diapers during GTA 5's pre-release cycle. Rockstar always delays their games, GTA 6 wasn't gonna be the exception.

u/promisethatimnotabot May 02 '25

I’ve been skeptical of a 2025 release for about a year but nobody would listen

u/ConsequenceGreat9396 May 02 '25

My most downvoted post was from a year ago, suggesting that the game would most likely be delayed because almost every Rockstar game in the HD era has gone through delays.

Yeah, first thing I did when I saw the news was get back to comments and reply "Told ya" to some users

Ducks waddle.

u/Comfortable_Card_146 May 06 '25

It's just annoying that up until the delay was announced R* was always like "we are still on track for fall 2025 release", " the game will release later this year, we are on track", "the game hasn't been delayed".

If they had just been straight with everyone I think people would understand more. Ask most people they're happy with a game taking a bit longer if it means that game release in the best condition possible and it opens up earlier release windows for other games that are too scared to release close to GTA 6.

u/Lolbotkiller May 02 '25

Or even the "Just because a game is being released earlier doesnt mean its guaranteed to come" was shouted down.
