GTA 6 was something I was already planning to avoid. I’m sure it will be a technological achievement, but the fact that this game took close to a decade and a half to come out, I moved on from the idea of a new GTA game long ago.
Rockstar was happy to milk GTA 5 for that whole time rather than making new games the fans wanted. Sure RDR2 was released, but were fans really only wanting one game in a decade plus? Of course not. Why make a new game when you can make money from micro transactions in your current one. Basically acting like GTA landlords and expecting continued money while offering no real value to an old game. They even put a casino in GTA online, in case you needed a clearer idea of what their priorities are now.
GTA 6 will probably have a great story mode, but the GTA online garbage is coming too, guaranteed. It would not surprise me if the online components even find a way into the single player story. Not to mention the size this game will be on your system. I bet 200 gb - 300 gb and the probably higher price tag.
Now Rockstar is union busting. This is on top of all the toxic work environment flak they got for over working their employees in the RDR2 development.
Fuck you Rockstar, I don’t need a new game from you.

You are being facetious, but the question demands an answer: there IS no good reason for investors. It’s very likely Rockstart genuinely would not have made as much money developing new properties as they did exploiting their established ones. And if they did, it would have been a gamble vs a virtual sure thing.
The demands of capital are not compatible with art. These companies don’t serve our needs, they exploit our desires. Don’t buy art from corporations, buy it from artists.

I’m betting that one’s gonna be a poor story mode.
This is the first gta after gtao became the cash cow. All bets are they’re going to lean into online with single player being an afterthought.
I’ll wait for a PC release and pirate it
AAA slop will never have a home on my drives again, even free. they get zero word of mouth positivity or money from me again
