Re: GTA 6 Extended Look Was Comfortably Netflix's Most-Watched Title of Last Week

@GeeEssEff Agreeing to disagree is probably the best solution I can't defend either as I don't agree with them both but you can buy games that are released gamepass I was more talking about paying the extra 20 quid on top of the price for whatever bells and whistles on top of early access.
I didn't consider just buying the early access for a gamepass title you wouldn't be buying the full game for.
Trailers have always been free up till recently everyone has always paid for a game though in some way.
That's the big difference in my mind one is expected to be free from it release not a couple hours after the guys who paid to see it.

@TheDarts Yeah it's disheartening alright it's changed so much in the last 10 years and gotten crazy expensive now aswell it's mad!
That fact that Microsoft at least talk about Netflix social media tv cinema like rivals for attention from people is crazy.
The gaming industry and experience as a whole is no longer as innocent as it was before it's a big money business get success or heads will roll it's cut throat the companies are more interesting on beating each other than giving the gamer a good experience and definitely don't care about giving us value for money if anything they want to give us less for more nowadays!

@GeeEssEff The only reason I'd consider the elder scrolls different to GTA in this case is because GTA will 100% be out before the end of the year so you would expect to see a lot of trailers and things like that elders scrolls is still most likely years away from the end of the year.
But within a year of it's release I'd expect to see a lot from the game as I would with any game but the game isn't probably even close now as it stands.
Todd Howard is the ultimate con man in my opinion there shouldn't of been anything about it yet considering he likes to take a decade to make a game.
With the paid early access I don't like or agree with that either but that's an actual game you get not just a trailer I'm not down for either but getting early access to play the game is more tempting than early access for a trailer neither I would put money down on myself though

@TheDarts It's just the principal in my mind the €100 or €70 you guys will pay for the actual game isn't enough we want more so we will monitize the trailers even for a limited time it's still that intent to get more money out of the sheep.
It's the biggest game release of all time it will sell copies for years like GTA V record profits for them blah blah but they still need to nickel and dime us.
They are well within there Rights to do so but I don't think trailers needed to be or should ever be monitized it's petty.
Especially to a third party like you said.

@Serialsid Because they must of went up why would Netflix drop a load of money for an exclusive look if they didn't stand to benefit from it??
That's a question to answer as for how many more subs Netflix got from the exclusive look I would never know that as I don't and wouldn't have access to that information.
So that I've answered that why would Netflix drop a load of money to get exclusive rights to show the extended look if they didn't stand to profit from it themselves?
I don't think they are helping out rockstar out of the goodness of there heart so what did they stand to benefit?

@TheDarts Hey hey my friend 😊
They monitized the people with no patience who had to buy a sub to see the Netflix reveal.
The fact they couldn't just release it on YouTube but had to negotiate a deal with Netflix to buy that exclusive right even for a couple hours I don't like.
I'm sure they would of made the trailer exclusivity longer if they thought they could get away with it maybe even permanent but people who call bull on that so best to just dip a toe in first see how it goes.
Looks like it went very well for them so it will be interesting to see what they try next I'd be surprised if this doesn't happen again with another big game over the next couple years because a presidince has been set now.

Mr-Cage

@Nalim Yeah I don't play the online either my dude not my type of thing haha 😂
I also get what you are saying but I just don't like it how they have gone about this there's no need to monitize a trailer off a game that will make them money consistently for a decade if not more.
It's not a huge deal but I just don't like it or agree with it that's all I can say haha 😂

Re: GTA 6 Extended Look Was Comfortably Netflix's Most-Watched Title of Last Week

Mr-Cage

@Serialsid Seriously if it wasn't to monitize there fans it would of launched on YouTube far more people have access to YouTube over Netflix!
YouTube is playable on everything Netflix is but the difference is it's free haha
Netflix doesn't help get it to more people YouTube does and I'm sure Netflix paid a good amount to get it.
I'm trying not to be insulting towards you about your take on it.
But you are not talking any sense to suggest Netflix is a better place to get the game trailer out to the masses than YouTube is literally madness!
You can argue weather it was right or wrong to put it on Netflix first but to suggest it wasn't about money why it was released on Netflix first is basically fact I'm sure most would agree it's very obvious that it was about money not for us gamers

Re: GTA 6 Extended Look Was Comfortably Netflix's Most-Watched Title of Last Week

Mr-Cage

@Nalim How people got onto Netflix to watch it is irrelevant to me.
People will pay for the game when it comes out and games these days are quite expensive especially this one if you want the full version day one.
But that wasn't enough they had to monitize the trailers aswell that's the problem.
I'd bet when the online portion gets finished we will probably have to pay for that aswell separately.
Like someone just said you wouldn't expect someone to have a ps plus sub to watch a movie trailer why encourage people to have a Netflix account to watch a game trailer.
It's all about optics some people think yeah that's cool whatever others find it offensive because the game will make them record profits regardless.

Re: GTA 6 Extended Look Was Comfortably Netflix's Most-Watched Title of Last Week

Mr-Cage

@ShadowRJ I see where you are coming from aswell probably because I'm an old fashioned grump aswell haha.
I don't like anything about how they have gone about advertising the game.
I think personally they held back footage and trailers of the game to make money off it with one of the streaming services rather than stick it up on YouTube straight away.
Considering the game will make them so much money for years to come it comes across money hungry to me!

Re: GTA 6 Extended Look Was Comfortably Netflix's Most-Watched Title of Last Week

Mr-Cage

@TheDarts The only reason it was on Netflix is to monitize the fans before they even bought the game.
If you are cool with it great but I'd be against anything like this happening again the time limit is irrelevant!
If you're partner cheated on you for 5 minutes or 5 hours it's still cheating.
The game will print money for years to come this didn't benefit the consumer just the shareholders bank balance they didn't need to do it rockstar is never short of cash

Re: GTA 6 Extended Look Was Comfortably Netflix's Most-Watched Title of Last Week

Mr-Cage

@BeenGamingSince_83 Yeah I don't like that either is sets a presidence going forward that's not good!
No matter the time limit on the exclusivity it's not a good look especially considering the game will print money for rockstar for years to come.
But you will always get those who defend it and act like its all good till it keeps happening what's to stop there being Netflix exclusive dlc in the future it's a first step down a bad road!
We are just to be monitized by these companies that's what it seems lately!

@naruball Imagine it was the other way around but in fairness most male videogame characters are ugly as sin!
Who literally cares if she looks smug or like she's farting!
People put too much stock in screenshots!
Like that embarrassing article about crazy taxi the other day everyone moaning about a still picture some people said they wouldn't buy the game over it Haha 🤣

@HonestHick See he's gone now he must of been someone who got banned before and had it out for a certain group of us.
I can only hope he was a teenager or around that age to go on like that.
It's crazy how some people can get so effected by what console a complete stranger uses.
If someone ever needed to get themselves laid it would be that guy hahaha 🤣

Mr-Cage

@Steve_BTW Ouch hitting me where it hurts Xbox exclusive games how could you know haha 😂
In all seriousness it doesn't really matter what either one of us game on does it unless you want that to be an issue??
Also I bought my console years ago before the price went up I'm not effected by the price increases.
This site is for fun bud not petty console warring I won't bite back my friend I'm an adult 🙂
