- jojobas 6y agoGTA V is profitable, fixing bugs is not.

You could even bucket test it if you wanted to directly quantify the results, but I'm sure that the cost payback would be a matter of days.
- marshmallow_12 6y agobut why bother when you got so much money anyway? It's shockingly lazy, but are you as productive as you can be? They're no different.
- josalhor 6y agoFixing bugs that reduce engagement is profitable. I am pretty confident this kind of bug has easily costed Rockstar in the order of 10-100 million dollars _per year_.
