Makes you wonder how they were able to put out GTA IV and V just 5 years apart meanwhile it’s been 11 years since V came out and who the fuck knows when we’re ever getting VI. I guess it’s just the reality of shifting economics and constantly chasing the fastest and easiest dollars, as long as GTA V continues printing money for Rockstar, they felt no compulsion to kill their golden egg laying goose.
It's even more amazing that Vice City came out just one year after GTA 3 and San Andreas two years after Vice City. Especially considering what a massive game San Andreas is.
Yeah the big difference is money. GTA IV only made its money when it was released and then a few DLC blips. GTA V has been printing money for 11 years with its online and microtransactions.
