I haven’t played all of Rockstar’s games but the GTA series was absolutely a revolution and every time a new entry is released for the series, it sets a new bar for the gaming industry. Amazing how good Rockstar is at making games.

Unfortunately, I think they also pioneered the strategy of milking a live service game to death. GTA Online’s success has lead to so many studios trying to release one game and keep it alive for a decade.

I would argue that games like WOW, LOL, Minecraft and even Counterstrike all did the infinite live service before GTA V did.

Also Minecraft isn't being milked for the sake of it (unless you count all the stupid spinoffs like legends and dungeons) it's literally a game with infinite possibilities and creative potential, there's no real reason to make a "Minecraft 2"
