Before the charity stream began, content creators from @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social weren't sure what number to aim for — maybe $30,000 or $50,000.
Within 15 minutes, they raised $58,000 for local food pantry VEAP. Within an hour, $100,000.

This is a complete misunderstanding of what I said, which is that I wouldn't be shocked if GTA6 *does* come out this fall, following the same delay pattern as RDR2.
Of course another delay is possible. It's a video game. But this blog post is very misleading (just reach out to me - it's not hard!)
