IMHO, GTA6 will disappoint because of the exceedingly long 10 years of build up and hype for it that's been increasing exponentially since the first trailer dropped. No matter how good it is, it will never live up to player expectations. We GTA fans have been speculating what might be coming in GTA6 since shortly after GTA5's release - since prior to this, GTA titles released every few years. After the trailer was released, you had thousands of fans & YouTube videos examining seemingly every pixel of it looking for clues, secrets, easter eggs & creating a community map project to try and put together the map before the game was even released (I don't have sources for this stuff in front of me to link to at the moment, sorry) Now the wait time for a second trailer is growing to a fever pitch, with GTA Online players trying to decipher when the trailer will release based on the waning & waxing of the moon in game. The fact that it's now been over a year since the first trailer releasing has started spilling over into anger and frustration. I can't imagine how enraged people are going to be when there's going to be an almost inevitable delay. That's not to say that this same cycle of hype hasn't happened for other franchises, but this is a studio that has built almost nothing but hit game after hit game since it started producing them in ~1996. The original group of founders, Dan Houser, et al. have all left (or been fired - with the exception of Sam Houser) and moved onto other projects. Rockstar has gone from releasing multiple series of games across different platforms to having essentially two titles (Red Dead Redemption & GTA) to be their bread and butter, with microtransactions and subscriptions for GTA+, both of which are for GTA Online exclusively, being what funds their continued existence. So, while GTA6 will still sell well regardless, they are absolutely reliant on the online component being a hit with players as they've put all of their eggs in that basket.
