obviously don't know this and am speculating, but I think GTA 6 will be one of the last 'old school' AAA games

might be one of the last SUCCESFUL AAAA games... but I bet a few more companies will lose their shirt before the market learns...

I'm old enough to remember how many really stupid obviously never going to make money MMO's were funded back in the 2000s and even into the 2010 before the craze died down to just a few big names making a splash now and then... that WOW money was just to tempting...

it's hard to stop greedy people from chasing the BILLIONS and BILLIONS of profit games like GTA and the like earn... apparently

Oh god the MMO rush of the 2000s. A few good ones came out of it but the sheer amount of terrible media that came out of it, GOD. People like to forget that happened.
