    Wow, this makes history. The first time a video game advertisement was paywalled behind a subscription for 6 hours. What a shitty thing to make history for.

    You know, I’m starting to think maybe they’re milking this whole GTA VI thing…

      People downvote things they don’t personally like, instead of things that don’t fit or add to the community. Whether or not I’m interested in GTA 6, I think news about it is important to the industry and adds to this community.

        If it was a link to an external news article on it sure, but this is just advertising, it links directly to Netflix and their big SUBSCRIBE NOW button.

          Wow, good shout. I actually didn’t notice that. I had already read this article on Euro gamer and totally assumed this was the same link!
