RDR2 was released 8 years after the first game. Somehow, I don't think we're gonna be so lucky with RDR3.

I don't think we will ever see RDR3

GTA Online has ruined Rockstar.

Since 2013, the only major release we've seen from them is RDR2, which was likely in development before the huge success of GTA V.

For over a decade, they've focused almost entirely on GTA 5, and seeing how massive GTA 6 is going to be, it seems unlikely that any new titles will be released in the near future.

IMO rockstar should quadruple their development team, and actually prioritize the IPs fans have been asking for a sequel

I agree but it's less risky and more profitable for them to milk what they have than to create new games that won't sell as much as GTA.

It's estimated that GTA 5 alone generates 1 billion dollars in revenue a year.

Bully 2 isn’t risky, maybe LA Noire 2 or Warriors 2 is risky but small budget means low risk high profit.

You know what's even less risky? Milking GTA online and selling shark cards.

While Bully 2 would certainly sell, the profits from it would be much smaller compared to what they earn from focusing on GTA.

I'm sure those with more expertise than you or I have weighed these options. If there was more money to be made they would pursue it.
