How the fuck are they at a loss when GTA V is STILL played as much as it is? That takes some groundbreaking incompetence when all they need to do is make that still be fun.
For fuck sake, even the community TELLS you what to do with one the guys I'm subscribed to telling you at a code level how to improve things.
Plays != Revenue
iirc they fucked up the economy a while back with one of the heists. It used to be a horrible grindfest to earn the millions required into playing with the new content they would release.
Theres no need now to buy shark cards to skip the grind when you can just play for a couple of hours to do the heist and then get access to it all.
I'd say that's more a symptom of how unbalanced the game has become.
There are probably 10 to 20 vehicles and just around 10 buildings that are must owns in the game because they are so powerful. You only need to grind a few heists to get the money for them.
If they balanced the game more to make EVERY vehicle worthwhile to get from making every non weaponised car able to get armour and lock-on immunity upgrades to making the rep grind on Arena wars less torturous, you might get more sales of shark cards because you'll get some people so inpatient having fun they'll drop a few dollars to skip grinding.
Do tell what is proper cloud matchmaking?
