澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rockstar Games isn't pumping out new games nearly as often as it used to, but parent company Take-Two's CEO reckon♈s some of the developer's online updates are so "robust," they would've been considered "standalone" titlesꦅ a few console generations ago.

Once upon a time, we lived in an era where Rockstar Games would release a new, big game almost annually. Bully, Manhunt 2, GTA 4, GTA Chinatown Wars, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, Max Payne 3, and GTA 5 all came out in back-to-back years, in between other expansions and re-releases, no less, as wild as that would be these days. But it's now been eight years since Rockstar released Red Dead Redemption 2 and 12 years in between GTA 5 and GTA 6.

, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said the developers under his umbrella are just adjusting to a changing business where players "eng🎀age on an ongoing basis with our hits."

Essentially, Zelnick reckons updates for Red Dead ✨Online and GTA Onliꩲne rival some of the company's older standalone games in terms of content.

"In the case of Grand Theft Auto, we have Grand Theft Auto Online, and Rockstar has been supplying content🌌 to Grand Theft Auto Online, some of which is so robust that if you go back 15 years, it would have counted as a standalone title," he says.

"One could really argue that Rockstar has been putt🔥ing out a new Grand Theft Auto release a couple of times a year," he continues.꧙ "Same thing holds true for Red Dead Online, which has been ongoing."

Elsewhere, Zelnick said GTA 5 is the "standard-bearer for our industry," but even he found the GTA 6 hype "pretty astonishing"

Kaan freelan♏ces for various websites including Rock Paper Shotgun, Eurogamer, and this one, Gamesradar. He particularly enjoys writin✤g about spooky indies, throwback RPGs, and anything that's vaguely silly. Also has an English Literature and Film Studies degree that he'll soon forget.
