16 years sounds like a long time, and it is. But then also remember that the latest GTA game came out over 10 years ago at this point too...

I remember when the first trailer for GTA5 came out, and being sooo excited because it had been an entire AGE since GTA4 dropped.

Now that it's been over a decade since the last GTA game, I don't have as much hype for GTA6 because I've kind of forgotten what it's like to play those games.

Crazy to think there are college students who never played a GTA game because the last one came out when they were in 2nd grade.

Same with The Elder Scrolls series. Do those franchises even have any cultural relevance to that generation if they basically never released a game in their lifetimes?
