Personally, I don't think that's worth getting mad over, especially not in this saturated market right now where there's always something great to play. Valve worked on Half-Life, Portal, and Left 4 Dead many times since their last iterations, but you have to give creatives time to throw out what's not working. And plenty of game developers I like work on plenty of stuff I'm not interested in. I just wait for them to come back around to the stuff I am interested in. In the case of live service stuff, it sucks, but Rockstar's hardly unique there.

100%, I think people getting frustrated over the time between GTA 5 and GTA 6 don't appreciate the time it takes to build a game on this scale. Rockstar definitely deserve credit for the worlds they build and their focus on delivering an exceptional game.
