People have been dying to see a long-forgotten tradition make its way back into gamer’s lives with the release of GTA 6 next year. This tradition has enriched the childhood of many people, but, somehow along the way, its importance and relevance faded out.
It would be a good marketing strategy to bank on nostalgia since many people will get attracted to the same, especially for a game like GTA 6, which is by far the most anticipated release of this decade.
GTA 6 Needs A Grand Launch To Live Up To The Expectations
GTA 6 is anticipated to be released next year, and it should be done in a way that attracts more people than the franchise has ever seen before. GTA 6 is by far one of the most extensive games ever made by Rockstar; it is still under development, which directly indicates the scope and scale of the game.
There is also a lot of hype around how the game would be launched. Midnight launches of games were a big thing in the past. People used to gather around a store and watch the release of their most anticipated games together standing on the street.
Isn’t it sad that the ‘Midnight Release’ of video games is completely extinct now?
It was always such a vibe to go to a GameStop and be amongst a crowd of gamers all waiting to play the same thing you wanted to play. And none of us will ever experience that again
Damn…

I think this just speaks to an issue with our perception of progress.
I love convenience as much as the next person. But over the last two decades I’ve noticed the number of reasons we have to leave our homes shrink and fall off a cliff.
Movies, games, groceries and hanging…

Hoping it returns with gta 6, but I doubt it will

Yep… a moment in time that no longer exists. The excitement of being around a bunch of people all thrilled to get their hands on the newest game was such a fun experience. Sure it’s “easier” to get games today, but those moments were awesome 🔥

Many fans of the game have expressed their desire to see midnight launches make their way back into their lives.
There Is A Slim Chance This Tradition Will Get Restored
This is the foundation of the gaming community, from where we have come a long way now. However, not all traditions of the past should be deemed as obsolete. Some of the traditions were put into place to really enrich the overall experience of players from all around the world. Midnight launches brought a lot of people together and united them as one.
However, there is a slim chance that this tradition will come back. With the boom of online stores and digital editions of games, this tradition lost its relevance over time.
What was once considered a norm will now be returning as a novelty, the essence behind the tradition has been long gone, and it is highly unlikely that the same enthusiasm will be shared amongst fans anymore. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments below.
