GTA VI: Extended Look on Netflix excludes some fans due to lack of availability of service in some geographical areas.
Rockstar Games decided to distribute the Extended Look of Grand Theft Auto VI through Netflix on August 27, a strategic move to reach a vast audience, but it has a side effect: silently excludes some fans due to the lack of availability of the service in certain geographical areas. Netflix is not present in all countries; the platform operates in more than 190 nations, almost all, but there are some exceptions. If you are in one of these five areas, you will not be able to watch the projection of the Extended Look simply by opening Netflix at 15:00 ET, as the service is not available there. Without any guilt from you, you are denied access to the first row. The obvious question arises: what happens with the free version? Rockstar will release the same footage six hours after the Netflix screening, both on its YouTube channel and on the Grand Theft Auto VI website, at 21:00 ET. If you don't have Netflix, you can watch it for free six hours, like all the others. Under normal circumstances, this would solve the problem, except in many of the same countries, YouTube is also blocked or strongly limited. The five geographical areas where Netflix does not work and the reasons behind each. For four of the five areas, both doors are closed. Netflix does not work there and the backup copy on free YouTube is not available. The Rockstar website has been reported as blocked in China as well. It is an unfortunate position for a fan who wants to see the greatest revelation of the year and who sees cut all the official roads to access it, because of factors outside the game. Yes, there are tools like VPNs, which redirect your connection through another country to access blocked services. It's a common method. It's a known fact. However, it is also a fact that in several of these areas use these tools is subject to restrictions or even illegal with serious consequences. The free backup copy on YouTube and where it also fails. If the free version available six hours after the screening is accessible in regions where Netflix is blocked.

Relying a projection to a single streaming service creates a barrier to those who can watch it. A simple upload of Rockstar, as in the case of Trailer 1 and Trailer 2, is the most open way a revelation can have, available to anyone with a connection at the same time. The deal with Netflix allows you to reach most of the world, but it has a cost that falls on a specific group of fans. For the vast majority of you reading this, none of these problems matter and waiting for six hours... La decisione di Rockstar di usare Netflix come canale principale per l’Extended Look è un colpo di scena che, onestamente, mi convince poco. Non mi stupirei se la strategia fosse stata dettata da una pressione interna a garantire una visibilità massiccia, quasi a prescindere dalle conseguenze per alcuni segmenti del pubblico. Il fatto che il filmato sia inaccessibile in cinque paesi, proprio quando l'anteprima viene resa disponibile su Netflix, è un errore di comunicazione piuttosto evidente, soprattutto considerando che la “strategia” di Rockstar è puramente basata sul reach massivo, senza una riflessione sui potenziali danni alla propria reputazione. La questione dei VPN è un classico: molti faranno così per vedere il filmato, ma sapere che si rischia grosso modo una multa o problemi legali in alcuni di questi paesi rende l’operazione molto meno attraente. Il giveaway del "GTA 6 giveaway" su GTA6 Hub è il tentativo di compensare questa esclusività parziale, ma visto che è legato all'email, la partecipazione sarà probabilmente a bassa intensità. La cosa che mi preoccupa veramente, però, è l'annuncio sulla copia di backup gratuita su YouTube. So bene che YouTube è stato bloccato in Cina, e anche in altre aree geografiche dove la censura governativa è molto rigorosa; quindi, questo ulteriore "piano B" rischia solo di fare la figura del morto d’aria.
