Guess it was good market research. Now GTA V / GTA Online made half a billion dollars in 2019, six years after it was released.

- Stevvo 6y agoDefinitely. Early GTA Online was heavily inspired by MTA game modes. For example, the races on crazy roads floating in the sky was a hallmark of MTA. It's far too abstract to think R* came up with that idea independently of the many years of prior art in MTA. It's a shame they only copied the game modes and not the architecture, as GTA Online's biggest downfall is the P2P networking.
