I'd love to comment, but this reads like it's a half step above an AI-generated clip of an article. With next to zero substantiation, I really can't say much. I'd also add that Netflix don't even have to seem to have any distribution model in place were they to acquire any console or PC gaming property, much less one on the stature of the next Grand Theft Auto. It would be an all-time blunder (even by R* standards) to hand off such a huge IP to a firm with no game distribution experience such as Netflix. Large as they may be, I have significant doubts Netflix knows its market and/or how to address said population.

Yeah, it would be a massive mistake for Rockstar to distribute through Netflix.

Maybe a movie/show/short film with a Netflix account will open up some special missions.

Either that, or even a GTA-based TV show or movie. Honestly, if executed well...I'd watch that.

A GTA show COULD be absolutely amazing. Each season could be one of the main missions from the game, they could release missions when the season starts. The GTA5 characters look similar to their real life persons, they can probably act. It would be super cool to have them in the show as well.

Can you imagine Trevor's actor fully committing to method acting? That would be fucking glorious...
