After the release of the official cover for GTA 6 and the pre-order announcement, people's gaze settled on an alligator — Redditors noticed it appears to have 60 teeth, whereas an adult alligator usually has about 74–80. That tiny mismatch turned into fodder for jokes about the game's "unplayability" and, yes, snarky comparisons to the Cyberpunk 2077 launch.
The comment threads split into camps: some argue a bunch of teeth are hidden underwater, others claim the croc is still growing, and a few remind everyone that reptiles constantly shed and replace teeth (i.e., tooth turnover is normal). Wild? Absolutely. Funny? Also yes — the debate felt simultaneously petty and strangely earnest.
People kept picking at the cover, scanning reflections, shadows, and background objects for clues — e.g., hoping a stray pixel might hint at a mechanic or location. The whole thing reads less like an art critique and more like proof of the hype: small flaws become storylines, and fans will probe every inch of art, for better or worse. In short, it tells you more about the frenzy than it does about the gator's dental plan.
