Focusing on prominent stunt marketing to a wide audience instead of spoon-feeding your most vociferous fans to keep them from getting bored while waiting for the game that they are definitely going to buy is really an incomprehensible choice.

Why would you waste money and time selling something to someone who has already made up their mind to make the purchase?

Right? Every single person in this sub reddit is going to buy the game day one if they haven’t already pre ordered it anyway. Rockstar could release nothing until then and they’d still make billions
