    Nope. But they did delay the game again and they pinky promised they didn’t fire these people to union bust.

        But we still have to wait for a year after the console release. So they can make money off everyone who won’t get it for free

      I made that note when gta 5 killed off the storyline expansions.

      I was never interested in world of war craft with cars.

        It would have been good if not for horrible load times, hostile balancing, and a live service slow grind model built to sell in game currency. The soullessness of it is why it was bad.

    I know why, its this one really cool trick for increasing shareholder value. Give it another quarter and that line will be going up up up!

    Personally I was never interested in GTA 6 to begin with, but this cemented my decision not to buy it under any circumstances.

    Because GTAV made over $700 million last year on 12 year old ip. They are in absolutely zero rush to release a sequel that may or may not flop in an era when it’s clear that 90-100% of programming jobs will be eliminated within a decade.

    Every programmer they replace with ai now is one less bonus to pay out after release.
