I disagree. They ignored the issue for years and that part won’t be erased from memory. They should be given credit for finally fixing it, but nothing more. Wha

Very likely that internally there were people who had an inkling this was going on, but could never convince product to devote time to put it in the backlog. This change is a win for that engineer. This example will be ammunition in internal debates about how much to weigh product pressure vs engineering suggestions that improvement is technically possible; the next time an eng says "let's look at this slowness one more time, it may be fixable more easily than you think", they might be listened to.

> What happened before this week was and remains forever shameful. lol without context you'd think something tragic actually happened here.

  Losing customers over such a simple, known problem, over years… is tragic for a company like Rockstar. This is like Microsoft ignoring a bug that made Windows take 10 minutes to start and just letting that happen for 5 years. Now tell me that’s not tragic.

    Anyway GTA5 is just a game.

      To you it's just a game, to Rockstar GTA is literally a multi-billion dollar product with a household name that politicians talk about. I can't believe you're missing this huge point.
