Pre-order caution is exactly the kind of topic that can be useful or messy depending on how people frame it.
I would keep the thread grounded: what is confirmed, what is a reasonable guess, what is just recycled rumor, and what could mislead new players. Speculation is fine; pretending speculation is news is where the forum gets worse.
The parts worth separating:
- whether the topic helps new players or just feeds anxiety
- fake beta links, fake screenshots, fake preorder claims, and spoiler traps
- how to label speculation without killing discussion
Коротко по-русски: В слухах и гайдах по GTA VI нужно четко разделять факты, осторожные предположения и выдумки. Тогда обсуждение остается живым, но не превращается в мусор.
Curious where people land on this: What would make pre-order caution feel important rather than just interesting? What would be the next useful confirmation? Which older Rockstar lesson applies here?
