There's nothing really new here but it's interesting how we have it straight from ex-devs that everything we suspected about micro-transactions and how devs only ever care about making content for that is true. We will likely never see a big singleplayer game from established studios ever again thanks to all the addicts constantly buying micro-transactions.
I'm looking forward to seeing what a piece of shit GTA VI is going to be, my money is going to be on them doing a relatively small campaign and they are going to shove absolutely everything into the 'new' GTA Online.
All of the triple A companies were indies at one time. They can be replaced like Sierra Online, THQ, and Akklaim.
I'll go one better. One of the last great games by Sierra Online was Half Life. Then Valve released the sequel on Steam and any physical copy could be registered on Steam. The entire company was tanking anyway because of internal politics and weirdness, but they didn't see Steam as a competitor.
