I work at a computer parts store at we already have people coming in asking for “GTA 6 ready PCs” so its at least going to have a huge launch just from hype alone.
It really depends how Rockstar gauges success, whether its copies sold or total profit from transactions. Those goals lead to different games, although to be fair they did make two different versions of GTA 5 and just packaged them together, the single player game and GTA Online, so they might be able to achieve both goals this time too.

The problem is that he biggest networked games, I.e. those with the most players online, won’t work on linux. Until fortnite or apex legends or LoL allow linux machines, people will be stuck on windows so they can still play with their friends. The same thing happens with most of the sports games except those players are almost entirely on console, and they are locked in there.

Dont sleep on trucks! You can record a route you drive, and set it to repeat. They do need coal as fuel, but you can set up a truck station as a fueling station and have your trucks stop by on their route.
I usually recommends belts for short range, trucks for medium to long, and then trains are for crossing the map to other regions. Trains take some planning though. Its best to have two tracks running parallel with each going one direction only, or else you run into problems when you have more than one train.
All that said, you can finish the game with just belts. The first time I finished thr game I only went from the southern grass fields, east to the oil lake, and slightly north to the autumn looking area with aluminum.
Their whole business model is exploiting children.
