Interesting but not super surprising results. I do think maybe we're not indicative of overall population, but I have also been around long enough to know how releases like this go. A lot of the people who are gonna buy GTA6 don't really engage in any discourse or talk about their opinion, they're just gonna grab it and play it because it's on their list for one reason or another and they have no monetary blockage against it. For them, no part of this transaction is a big deal. That's kind of my read on it after working for years around people who pick up every NBA/FIFA/etc. game yearly just because they have no reason not to. It's weirdly simple.

Sheer cultural and economic inertia in other words. "Why did you buy that thing?" "Because it's the thing you buy, and it was there, and I could buy it." I mean fair enough, that certainly might be it.
