    Growth mode only to go into shrink mode some years from now at employee (and likely consumer) expense… Why can’t companies just go for stable mode?

    Any chance of this being a flop? Years ago, we would have said no way, but we’ve seen some high-profile screwups before. It’s certainly at the time period where Rockstar might have brain drain on its better developers.

      Zero chance at all in my opinion.

      They could shit the bed completely on it and still sell millions of copies.

      I’ve been a fan since the original late 90s top down version and there’s no way I’d miss it.

      They won’t shit the bed though. It’s going to be fucking amazing.

        I agree with you and coming from a different perspective. I’ve tried the games and they just don’t do it for me for whatever reason. I don’t see this flopping at all. I also think recent launches will make sure they have things ready to go. It will sell like crazy and the fans that love the games will love it I’m sure.

          Right on.

          I can appreciate that perspective.

          There’s just no way on earth I could imagine it flopping at this point even if I personally didn’t think I’d like it so it makes sense to me.
