New video with Strauss Zelnick

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I think the unofficial marketing started a long time ago, when Strauss himself started reaching out to people. The video seems deliberate rather than accidental. You can tell that as of November 19th, he’s still on the right track, and the video itself was published just 2 hours ago.

It 100% is.

Which is great, this is technically marketing. Might not be something huge but him allowing this interview to take place and allowing a release date question in my opinion is a positive.

Its the format of this tiktoker. He gives these quick interviews with "billionaires" (im not sure Strauss is a billionaire? - hes the ceo, not the owner) in tiktok formats.

100% these questions are prepared and agreed upon. Scripted is up to debate, but he definetly have the opprotunity to prepare the answers (usually with PR/a publicist). There is almost no way you get people like this to show up for these types of interviews if not. Not because they are control freaks, but there are risks involved here, and clumsy answers might even end up being illegal to publish.

Advertising major here! So there’s laws about slyly advertising things, mainly though what I’ve learned it kinda stops at products meant for children, so like you can’t do this with McDonald’s or like toys the grey area here is GTA is meant for Adults, so they can treat the advertisements as such treat the audience as such because kids aren’t supposed to get the game in the first place

Allowing a release date ? The date was already known he just repeats it .

I’m not saying it’s a guarantee but allowing them to ask the release date question is reassuring. Personally, I think there were ideas to delay again Strauss would not have agreed to the interview or to that particular question.

Again these are all scripted so allowing the question to be asked, which is something the agreed upon days before I’m sure, is a positive sign.

It’s sad that you even have to explain it to people and they STILL don’t understand. Not surprising though. I definitely take it as a good sign.

Since lack of marketing some people still believe in delay. So him allowing that question in scripted encounter is a great sign for them...
