I’ve played every mainline GTA game since the first one came out in 97 when I was at university.

I was just looking at the release schedule of the mainline games, and the 3D entries roughly doubled their development time over the years (nearly tripled with the gap between V and VI).

If that trend continues, there’s a good chance that VI could be the last GTA game I get to play before I die of old age.

I don't get this... Why do people pre order AAA games? It's like begging for disappointment.

Circa 2010 it was because for physical discs Gamestop doesn’t order enough copies to force people to preorder.

Old habits die hard I guess.
