You're ruining the game for yourself. Take a break.

I've been lurking here since pre-orders went live and honestly, some of you need to hear this. The level of obsession I'm seeing is getting unhealthy.

People are analyzing the time of day Rockstar schedules their earnings calls like it's a secret code. It's not. They're a company. They do things when they feel like it. Trailer 3 will drop when it drops, and no amount of moon phase theories or LinkedIn stalking is going to change that.

I get it. We're all hyped. November 19th is circled on my calendar too. But spending every waking hour refreshing this forum and dissecting marketing decisions from a multi-billion dollar corporation isn't going to make the game come any faster. It's just going to burn you out before you even pick up the controller.

Go outside. Play something else. Hang out with people who don't know what Leonida is. The game will be here in four months whether you drive yourself crazy or not, and you'll probably enjoy it a lot more if you stop trying to live inside the hype cycle.

I'm as excited as anyone for Vice City, but this isn't it.

My 100% checklist is ready, but refreshing this forum daily won't unlock any missions. I'm waiting for November 19th with my notes prepared.
