No thats good for current business. They are forgoing long turn prospects and instead settling for milking an already drying cow. At least rock star make consistently enjoyable products, but even then without the promise of gta 6, gta5 would eventually dry up
The average consumer of games is a 12 year old with Mommy’s credit card
Though I seriously doubt you are correct in this assertion, I’m not sure how this attitude is helpful?
It’s like if someone said that the average person complaining about games online was just a loser living in their mom’s basement with too much time on their hands.

I never claimed you said they were losers, it was part of my hypothetical example. Are you sure you read my comment?
Nothing was mixed up. You just seem confused with my simple example. My point was that taking an attitude of condescension is unproductive.
And your premise is flawed from the start, as the average game is definitely much older than you are claiming.
As long as fans keep paying full price for unfinished and buggy mess they will keep doing that.
I mean they had a crack at making a new game and it’s not really worked that well
They really didn’t even try that to be honest. Bethesda has remained far behind and they don’t seem interested in changing direction sadly
They made skyrim in space and diluted the content even more
