Game spending is at an all time high, it’s just all mobile game whales and Roblox.

I am sure GTA will buck the trend

They’re part of the problem. I’m sure they will sell plenty of copies, but they will make their money elsewhere.
GTA:O was why GTAV never got any expansion pack, and GTAVI took so long. GTA:O was all about the whales. It was miserable to play, because they focused on creating a grind which you could pay yourself out of, and it worked. They made ungodly amounts of money. That same thing will happen to GTAVI. Hopefully we get a good story out of the base game, but it is already being reported that things like “getting a haircut” are being locked behind the $100 SKU, and it’s only going to get worse from there.
They will suck every dime they can out of whales while ignoring everybody else.

GTA5 broke records before online was even out but online became popular also
A company focusing on the most popular part of their business is essentially what they have to do, it wasn’t just that whales spent money it just became far more popular than any single player dlc would be
