    I have a little flame of hope they waited and milked 5 for too long and now people have lost interest and moved on. Let it be a cautionary tale, there is a happy medium to be had in an IPs release cadence.

      Absolutely not lol. Millions of people will buy it for their consoles day one, and then again three years later when it comes to PC.

      People WILL move on. And then release is announced and they’ll all come flocking back. This is how the game industry works. Gamers have severe ADD and it doesn’t take long before they completely forget about what they disliked about the last game.

      Instead the developers will put some nostalgia in there to ensure even the people who didn’t like the last one will still buy the latest game because they’ll think back on their childhood. That nostalgia is the hook that pulls them back.

      Remember Diablo 3? It was a disaster that pissed off a ton of people.

      Then they came out with rereleased D2 and people flew back like stink on shit. It’s hilarious and sad at the same time.

      GTA6 will be the biggest and most popular IP to have released in a while and that alone will attract a shit ton of people. Then their friends will get in because they want to play the new hotness with their friend crew.
