GTA 6 Extended look isn’t on Netflix for advertising

Everybody already knows gta 6 at least as a concept. While im sure it will be good advertising I think the main reason rockstar is releasing the trailer on Netflix is a power play. Its genius. By releasing on Netflix it gets elevated from regular trailer on YouTube to an event on Netflix. No game has released promo in such a way. It’s a pure status thing that makes gta 6 feel even bigger than if they just released it on YouTube. The best way to advertise these days is through streamers, and releasing on Netflix actively decreases the amount of clips and reactors to draw in more viewers. So if it was purely about advertising it’d make much more sense to let streamers advertise their stuff for free, and get clipped for free creating max traffic.

But no that’s not happening because the game is already advertising itself. Rockstar put it on Netflix to make it feel like an event, as big as the shows they release on Netflix, as the events like Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson. Wow these guys are smart.
