Thoughts are inevitably turning to where the next GTA Online is going with this stuff.

I'm just glad we got the masterpiece that is Red Dead 2 before this company's soul fully evaporated. I also really liked GTA4.
Rdr2 is still hands-down my favorite game. The online game sucked, but I still replay that campaign because it’s just mwah
I'm still astounded they never released a current gen patch, or at least a paid "Director's cut" version for rdr2.
Right? I guess they were just making so much goddamn money from an 11 year old game, they didn’t have to even think about their best game.
Rdr2 made close to a billion in it's first week. Releasing a current gen version seems like an easy few bucks for them.
I mean, I’m all for it. I’d be one of those people spending money on the online RDR2 if it were better. If they kept adding missions and story arcs to the campaign, I’d buy every one. But I honestly think gta V changed that company, in more recent years, even. It’s continued making absurd money. It’s literally The most profitable piece of media ever made.
Take Two probably kept winnowing down staff on other titles to bring them into the GTA team, whether that be 5 or 6. I don’t have proof of that, but it feels surprising they would be focusing on anything else after they got RDR 2 to market. I mean, look how bad the online game was initially. And it’s still pretty bad. They did update it a good amount (or so I’m told, I wasn’t around for the beginning. Playing RDR2 in the last two years literally made me a gamer. I’ve spent countless hours playing and replaying that campaign. And it still gets to me. So well written.) I actually just dropped replaying that campaign in the past few months to play Cyberpunk. Which I’m really enjoying, actually.
I’m just saying, they’ve made a lot of shitty moves as a company since 2018. I just wouldn’t be surprised if their entire focus is on GTAV online and GTAVI.
