    Because of the way Rockstar / Take Two handles it. Starting by ignoring everything but consoles for up to two years, to making new content for multi-player only because it’s basically a money printing machine to how they handle cheaters/script kiddies (like: not at all, as long as it doesn’t involve money cheats), to locking already bought cars away behind another paywall. I like GTA V and I like RDR2, I just don’t like those greedy suits that run R* and T2

      The devs who worked on GTA online are not the same devs that worked on the base game or rdr2. They are not the same people.

        Again, I’m not talking about the devs, I’m talking about the suits. The higher-ups. The decision makers.

        It is correct, that Dan Houser, who was one of the founders of R* and one of the main writers of the GTA series, has left alongside Jamie King, who’s also a co-founder of R*. Sam Houser is still president of R* as is Strauss Zelnik the CEO and chairman of T2.

        You can exchange as many devs if you want, the direction they’re going to won’t change because they’re not in charge.
