Sorry I live under a rock. How come a videogame is supposed to premiere on a video service?
It's a dumb promotional thing, they aren't "Premiere"ing the game, they are are showing gameplay footage. It's an Ad that Netflix users are paying for the privilege to be advertised to.
Can I opt out....
Good news, you can opt out of Netflix entirely. The dark side has a flag and shanties and everything.
Stop giving money to Netflix?
yes, by subscribing from netflix, forever
edit: yes, it was supposed to be unsubscribing
I think you mean unsubscribing…
From is the opposite of to.
Confidently incorrect.
No one says subscribe from to mean unsubscribe. I tried to make it make sense, but it's too much work to understand when no one says it, and everyone calls it unsubscribe. To subscribe is to scribe your name, sub (at the bottom) of a document. That is, to enter the subscription agreement. You don't sign a new agreement to exit the previous one, you just exit it (stop paying). You undo the contract, you don't pay and they don't give service, we say you unsubscribe.
Excellent logical breakdown of why it makes more sense to say un-. 👌
a best of lemmy candidate, isn't it?
The trailer/extended look has a six hour exclusivity to Netflix before being released on other streaming platforms. I'm not sure if you were asking about the game itself. Supposedly Netflix paid around $100 million for that deal. I don't know if there are any official sources for that info though.
Lmao wtf are we doing
Grifting idiots out of money
Doubtful, rockstar just want non gamers to see it and this was a way to get Netflix on board
this sounds like a half ass attempt to do what what Edgerunners did with Cyberpunk.
