Anything I say is going to be aggregated on Reddit.

But I will say, no, I'll answer your question. I would be shocked if it actually made it next year. I think that it will probably slip again because Rockstar Games always slip. Red Dead 2. I'll never forget. So I was in Warsaw, Poland, sitting in the offices of CD Projekt Red, talking to them for my first book, Blood, Sweat & Pixels, in... I believe it was like October of 2016.

I was in there and I'll never forget the Red Dead 2 trailer hit or like they announced the screenshots or something. They announced some Red Dead 2 redemption thing and they were like coming fall 2017 is what they said at the time. And I remember turning to the CD Projekt people and being like, I hope you guys aren't planning Cyberpunk for fall 2017. And they were like, no, don't worry.

Cyberpunk would of course come out three years after that.

red dead 2 would slip to spring 2018 and then fall 2018 and that was six years ago games are even more complicated even more moving pieces now slipping even further now so i wouldn't be shocked if it slips to 2026 um or sorry i would would be shocked if it doesn't slip to 2026 like i'd be shocked if it actually hits fall 2025 but as of right now take two is saying that they're on track um we'll see if that's still the case in a few months

Yep, yeah, yeah. Borderlands maybe, I don't know.

Yep, yeah, yeah. Borderlands maybe, I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't imagine they would want that next to GTA, but who knows? We'll see. Yeah, the Switch 2 alone is going to make a huge impact on the gaming industry. Yeah, we're in an interesting place because it feels like a lot of the big AAA games are kind of failing to hit in a way they maybe would have a few years ago.

in the years before like fortnite and roblox took over everybody's uh friggin tv screens and phones so um yeah i am very curious i mean a lot of people have been saying uh survive to 25 has been like a mantra among video game developers being like look we need we need to fix things we need to get like money back in the industry we need people buying games again yada yada um and so i think there's a hope a lot of people are looking at gta 6 as like something that all the the rising tide that will lift all ships because um

The PlayStation 5 is not like selling on the same trajectory as the PS4. It is kind of either flattened or even slightly behind the PS4. And a large reason for that is that so many people are playing Fortnite, which you can play in your PS4 that you don't actually need to buy a PS5.

So the hope among a lot of people is that GTA 6 will lead to a lot more PS5s getting sold and therefore bigger audience in general. Meanwhile, Steam is bigger than ever, so that's been interesting to watch. And, yeah, I don't know. I'm very curious to see what happens.

I mean, I think that something that I always consider is that a lot of the games that take off and become mega hits, you would have no idea the year before. Like, you would have absolutely no clue. If we were talking this time last year, Bellatro and, like, Helldivers 2 being massive hits, Power World, yeah, like you mentioned, like... Are you kidding me? Who would have possibly guessed that?
