The problem is that they've been this way for years and GTA5 is still a massive money-maker for them. I cannot think the makers of the GTA series are all THAT concerned about their reputation.

Yea I could see that since I didn't even know until today that they sent goons to a youtuber's house which was 2 years ago. You'd think something like that would have not only spread like wildfire but would have made tons of people hate that company.

I still don't understand how GTAV is still making money 8 years later meanwhile its not subscription and the main game is story based single player not competitive like Halo and PUBG. Isn't it time yet for GTAVI? 8 year gap is crazy

It's probably also worth noting that Rockstar got severely burned 15 years ago by the mod community with the Hot Coffee patch restoring parts of the game that didn't make the final release. Even despite the get requiring a mod to access the content, they had to shift San Andreas up to an Adults Only ESRB rating until they could remove the content entirely. Could be that after all this time, they still don't have the greatest attitude towards the most community.

Are PS5 sales hurt by chip shortages? Its been a year since launch and I still hear people who can't find one.I bet this is very pleasing to the Xbox managers. Current standing is 10M-PS5 and 5M-Xbox which is nice for the Xbox team. This must be longest drought in consoles history although I remember the Wii was hard to find many months later.

I also have been living under a rock, are the next gen. games here yet or are they still living off cross-platform ones? I haven't heard of any.

I took another break from zelda games for around 1-2 months now. I guess as much as I love the series going through the same formula 20+ times just gets way too tiresome. Funny, I expected to finish my video project during the 35th anniversary. It looks like I won't even beat all the games by the 36th anniversary. And of course now I had the idea of watching every star trek episode and playing all the respective games, but then again switching between two big projects might be a good way to keep myself focused.

Even though I am happy with my recent Switch Lite purchase, getting the grey colorway, I am a big fan of the one coming out next month for the Pokemon Gen IV remakes: seen here.

It would have been awesome to do a side by side with the DS Lite from the original release in 2007 since it looks like it's got the same design on the front: seen here. Though I don't own this one myself.
I own too many hoodies jackets hoodies and DS games and I’m not ashamed!

Fun fact: A magazine compared Zelda and Link in the Faces of Evil to Bill & Ted.

Apparently Far Cry 6 emails you and hassles you for not playing enough
