You don't need a new engine for a new game and GTA V's engine is "just" a newer version of GTA IV's engine.

@colonelj
5 years after GTA IV and only 3 years after Ballad Of Gay Tony. Instead of making good single player content, they are milking GTA Online.

@orekix @matrix @colonelj Essentially, yep, rather it give company an avenue to split off game package into various pieces and raise the overall cost of the game package well beyond $60 (Some of them are so absurd that it's exceeding well beyond $10,000 which I attached screenshot for below.) That why I see triple A games fallen out of favor except for few exceptions like Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3.
@centi @orekix @colonelj @matrix next thing that comes to mind are subscription based MMORPGs

Except those are falling out of favor and getting replaced with microtransaction ridden trash.
@orekix @centi @colonelj

@matrix @chuculate @orekix @centi @colonelj Why charge a subscription for an MMO when you can charge a subscription for Fallout 76?
