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.

Milk it to death? Sorry but I don't think we would ever know how long GTA V would have run for if GTA VI wasn't launching in a year or two, do you guys reckon another decade?

GTA Online stayed alive for a bit too long in my opinion. But I suppose it’s okay for it to stay till GTA 6. If GTA 6 wasn’t around the corner, maybe they would’ve kept it alive for 5ish more years. Maybe indefinitely? GTA Online has a lot to do.
