A bunch of white guys working towards a common goal with the drive to do their utter best is the most powerful force on the planet.
Any time you let women, trannies and blacks make decisions the quality of your output will drop dramatically.

I suspect we’ll see shitty female lead, far worse writing than V (impressive), nothing funny, no technical advancements and more microtransactions than has ever been seen in a video game before.
They'll blame trump when the game doesn't sell at all

I stole a real nice super car in V and brought it to a shop for mods. The game told me the car was too hot to modify and I needed to buy it from a dealer to upgrade it. I get the microtransactions, (which is horseshit) but come the fuck on with the irony.

Imagine criminals paying insurance deductibles when you blow up someone else's car.

I think they know that if they license big music that they will lose the rights eventually. So they can't sign music as freely anymore.
I'm pretty sure they started ripping songs out of GTA4's digital copies because the licenses ran out. If you download the game from Steam now it will have a wildly different (and inferior) soundtrack than a disc version from back in da day.

I'd say they got what they deserved for leasing a film from an intermediary that's leasing the property themselves. Streaming services are a rip off these days but at least you can be assured that you'll get a decent-sized catalog for your money and some new shit coming in periodically, even if much of it is shovelware garbage.

It's just another example of corporate greed and incompetence forcing savvy consumers to return to piracy like they were doing en masse twenty years ago, because playing nice only means you'll get fucked over.

I only use VHS tapes. It’s the superior way to consume outdated media.

They made $1 billion in a day on GTAV and they can't pay for a music license? They're just kikes, that's all.
It's not that it's the labels who won't give them a permanent license. You lease something like an Elvis song for $150,000 for 20 years. Next thing you know an Elvis biography comes out and his back catalog is bought by some hedge fund. And now your video game is now 20 years old and the licenses have all expired. And so if you want to keep selling the game you need to renew the licenses.

The game only sells a fraction of the copies it did in its first year though. You tell Elvis's family you can offer $1 per 20 sales or $50,000 flat fee for another decade. They counter and say that they want $3million for one song for five years. And that the hedge fund or whatever managing Elvis's estate wants millions per song.
