rockstar says gta 6 gas stops are 10 seconds, 'you can't complain'

The gas stop debate just got a response from Rockstar and it's exactly the kind of dismissive energy I expected. Dexerto has the quote after a hands-on preview. Rockstar says each refuel takes around 10 seconds. Their exact line was "You can't complain."

That's it. Ten seconds. The whole controversy over whether refueling would ruin the flow of the game and Rockstar's answer is basically a shrug.

I get why people were worried. A refueling system sounds like the kind of realism that could get old fast. But ten seconds is nothing. If that's the actual time from pulling up to driving off, then it's less intrusive than most animations in the game. The preview apparently confirmed the number, so it's not just Rockstar spinning it.

What I want to know is how often you have to do it. The source doesn't say. Just the duration. If it's rare, this is a non issue. If it's constant, ten seconds adds up. But Rockstar saying "you can't complain" makes me think they tuned the frequency to be pretty forgiving.

My take: I'm fine with it. Ten seconds to refuel is less time than it takes to skip a cutscene in some games. If it adds a little texture to road trips without becoming a full gas management sim, I'll take it. The quote is just Rockstar being Rockstar.
