Off the Rails

Uh, there was a little bit of a rumor mill going around today that it could get delayed again because they haven't...

Um, well, here's how I know it was, this is all false, because there was two different rumors for why [chuckles] it would be delayed again going around on the same day.

Uh, one was that they, um, wanted to finalize a deal with Rainbet to make their, um, in-game casino, um, actually functional with real money.

And then they-

Sorry.

And then-

Continue

... well, the, just the second reason was that they, um, wanted to make sure, or they wanted to see if they could make the game, uh, required to be online to play the single player mode so that it would be much harder to pirate the game, um, and play with your own copy of, play with your own, um, like, rip of it.

But, uh, you know, none of that's happening.

They, they've spent way too much money in marketing and planning for this release date that it would cost them more, yeah, than to, than to push it back again.

So what were you gonna say about it?

Just the casino thing.

I've had, I've had this thought, 'cause when, when they updated GTA V Online with the casino update, y- I can't imagine the legal hurdles that they would have to jump through because, 'cause like, you can't, like, you can't, like, quite...

Like, you can't actually bet real money, but you can buy the GTA cash or whatever, which you can convert to, like, in-game cash.

Ba- basically, you could, yes.

Yeah, I mean, there's, you could lose a bunch of real money at the casino if you're betting like an idiot.

And, uh-

Would be all through with crypto

... and so it's, uh, it's interesting how that, uh...

I mean, obviously they figured out how to do it, but it's kinda crazy that it's, like, a real thing.

I think they're waiting to do that in GTA Online for the real money stuff.

Pro- uh, yeah, I'm sure.

But still, I mean, there's, there's gonna be some losers that just, like, lose everything-

Well, but-

... 'cause they, 'cause they wanna buy a fucking Lamborghini on GTA.
