To be fair, at least one of the intentions is preservation of physical game media, so not completely all cynical shit.

I'd agree if it weren't for the cryptoslop memecoin thing attached to it.

Why should it be an advertising campaign? Using a made-up name, filling videos with watermarks and pushing a crypto meme coin?

I don't even see how this could be something good for them. They are going to officially show it in a week and I don't think they need more hype than that they already have.

These are just people who are trying to make money with crypto.

A rather expensive if not straight up damaging ad campaign if we look at Rockstar‘s lukewarm stock. The crypto angle doesn‘t add up either.

Would be a bit over the line seeking American court orders if that was the case

Also Bethesda. Skyrim has been released so many times since 2011.

The one thing making me slightly doubtful of it being a typical PR stunt is that the leaker has also been advertising their shit-ass memecoin crypto. Unless that crypto has some link to Rockstar, I don't think they're behind it.

It's real. Rockstar loves to release on consoles first so people buy it on console first to play it early and then on PC for better graphics and modding. Leak shows the PC version working just fine so the PC players are more likely to wait for that release.

That’s a massive legal risk. I don’t think it’s them.

wait netflix paid THEM to run an ad?

Take-Two is the Nintendo of the US. It's like asking Nintendo to chill out.
