    GTA5 was the most profitable entertainment product of all time when it was single player only. It turned a profit in one day. It’s definitely going to have an online mode, but there’s no reason to expect it to forgo single player, especially after rdr2.

      I looked into it and yeah, the only thing that made more has been Minecraft. And Minecraft made twice as much. GTAV made twice as much as the one below it.
      That’s pretty crazy.

      Don’t get me wrong, I completely understand why they focused on multiplayer. Im just a fan since GTA 1. They have a completely different set of values since then, and it’s too bad to see them degrade into Corporate Company No 1. So to speak.

        Their completely different set of values led to RDR2, so I’m not worried.
