You're comparing steak and a big mac here. They have largely separate target buyers and operate at different levels of quality/craftsmanship. Yes, HL3 would grind the gaming news media to a halt while this fluff article about GTA6 is just fluff.

But the steak isn't selling more copies that the big mac. This is what people are arguing with you over.

That's not what is meant by "anticipated release", though.

FIFA2025 will outsell GTA VI. No one is biting their nails waiting for it to happen. It is in no way a highly anticipated release.

GTA VI is a pretty highly anticipated release, yes, but to compare it half life 3 is... Silly.

By this metric, Half Life 3 is way, way way way more highly anticipated. Steam servers would go offline.
