It's not really about being mad it's more just disappointment that this is where we are. Like shit think about how much this deal cost. It's just sad man.

Rockstar is a company that would be parodied in gta.

I don't care about the game and it sure looks like Rockstar is burning through all the good will they have, but I definitely feel that general disappointment.

Netflix was willing to purchase temporary exclusivity to an ad, and Rockstar apparently agreed that the money would cancel out the bad PR.
