OT: I too find it odd how EpsilonismToday hasn't tweeted today. Maybe they are preparing something big? I sure hope so, those tweets are all we have now and we might as well be grateful Rockstar isn't being dead silent. | To be cynically honest, I think it's just them starting to go completely silent on V again, with not even tweets as marketing. I mean, I hope I am wrong, but it's starting to look like rockstar wouldn't market V if Jesus Christ himself returned to earth and told them to do so.

When the Epsilon Twitter was initially discovered (& after the first few tweets), I was certain that us fans would be rewarded with a steady stream of GTA V info. But, as time continues to pass, I'm becoming a firm believer that this is just a ploy from Rockstar to get us off their backs for a good while & that this has extremely little to no relevancy to GTA V at all. Needless to say, I can't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

You havent finished it yet? Chill, i was just mocking the idea that gta V will be better than life. To the point that you get a normal job , watch your kids grow, get huge debts and you due from a terminal desease. You think thats what happens in Red Dead? Really? youll die some day you know? i spoiled life for you, hahahahahahahaha This post has been edited by malevolent_creation on Saturday, Aug 18 2012, 05:37

Therefore GTA V must come out around or before March to make all that money. Which means the hardcore marketing MUST start sometime during the fall. What beats me is how Bioshock Infinite has a release date while GTA V doesn't. I am aware that Rockstar doesn't want to delay the game like they did with IV, but they can at least they can give us a time frame? The Epsilon Program twitter is soon not going to be the only form of viral marketing.

That's why at this point in time, I think it was created mainly for trolling the trolls back/just for fans as well as gaining a bit of attention to V. | They could make something more out of it, we just have to wait, but for now they're making references to the wait, trolls, etc.
