      That’s more a symptom of micro transactions and live service gaming. Do you think GTA6 would have taken this long if Rockstar didn’t have the piggy bank that is GTA Online printing money for them 24/7?

        Saddest thing was reaching the new part of the map of Red Dead Redemption 2 and having it be so empty, since in the past it would have been where new story DLCs would have taken place.
