is it getting 10 years of support rly a positive lol, especially when theyve prioritised it over releasing a new game
regardless of whether they actually developed it in house, they chose to outsource it and they let it release in the state it was which is honestly worse
I mean, did they really prioritize it over a new game?
GTAV comes out 2013, rdr2 comes out 2018*, 5 years later (including delays), and then gta VI will likely come out within a year or two of it being announced so another 6 years (not counting covid time and them supposedly restructuring the company after rdr2's insane crunch time)
i think people tend to forget the monumental amount of effort, time and money that goes into making these games, considering how fast tech is advancing and how every single title needs to surpass the previous one in every way
gta titles while impressive for the time were way smaller and less intensive to create in the 2000s so they could release one every few years, but they're so complicated at this point and theres so many aspects to it that its just not possible anymore, unless you want a shit product
rdr2 costed 500 million, gta6 is estimated to cost between 1-2 billion, a lot of that gta:o money is going into that
