Aside from the preorders point, I'm pretty sure that GTA5 is still constantly showing up in top sales charts even today, more than a decade since the original release.
It doesn't even need to be good - and it won't be, given Rockstar haven't made anything good since San Andreas - because all the kids play GTA online, and they just need a good sandbox, more up to date sandbox to play in.

A reference solely to a mayorality would work if this was someone like Sadiq Khan, who hasn't done anything save be mayor of London, but Burnham had plenty of time as an MP before being banished to Manchester. In fact this isn't even the first time he will run to be leader of the Labour party, having been trounced by Corbyn back when he emerged as leader.
He was just as much an empty suit in his first time round as an MP as he is described now. The time in Manchester might well have given him essential experience and he will burst forth with vim and vigour, but I wouldn't bet on it. All signs point to him basically being leader by default, as one of the only vaguely popular Labour politicians around (aside, perhaps, from Khan, though I suspect Labour are wise enough to realise what a disaster he actually is).
I think your point about the Tories leaving such a disaster behind is well known by Labour, but it is this exact thing which is dragging them down. They have been sucked into the same fallacies that blight most online discussion, assuming that people who hold different views - especially right wing views - are not just wrong, but stupid and evil as well. Otherwise why would they believe in these things?
As such, the answer to all the country's problems are simply to not be the Tories. To be, as the now infamously embarrassing tweets say, the adults in the room. Keir Starmer and his supporters no doubt fancied that he was a sombre, serious politician who would succeed by sheer virtue, no need for leadership or ideas. Burnham will almost certainly be much the same
I never got around to playing the Wolfenstein sequel, so grabbed it for the low price of £3 and started the game.
I remember there being a fair bit of culture war furore around this when it released, but based off my surface impressions I always thought it was just typical blown out of proportion bullshit, particularly given the febrile atmosphere at the time.
But starting it out and... maybe the chuds had a point. God this is a terrible opening. Awfully paced, with a ton of cutscenes before you do anything, and the most eye rolling, stupid scenes as evil backstory man berates your child self for being friends with a black girl and beats your mother for being a jew. And to be clear, this is not a wolfenstein nazi character, this is just your american father.
