Grand Theft Auto 5 is approaching 100 million copies sold.....
I feel like this is a milestone that deserves its own thread, and in general, represents a huge milestone for the game industry. As of March 31st, 2018, GTA 5 has currently sold 95 million copies worldwide.… -

Yup, business acumen 101 that underlines many a venture irrespective of industry. A tad off piste but I reckon rates a mention if nothing else just for a simple eyebrow raise, namely a supposed GTA 6 2019 release which spawned a nefarious cloud of interweb postulating last month the studio had said was a hoax, although for… -

You know Rockstar also has studios all over the world that contributed to GTAV, right? https://www.mcvuk.com/development/inside-rockstar-north-part-2-the-studio "This has actually evolved so much, say Benzies and Semple, that now ‘production’ of each giant Rockstar game isn’t just done by one studio – but all of them… -

Ubisoft has like 7 different studios making those games. Technically the studio that worked on AC2 only released one game after that and two teams worked on it ;) https://kotaku.com/how-multiple-ubisoft-studios-make-so-many-assassin-s-cr-1824298939 -

I'm honestly wondering what was the actual budget, production cost, how much they earned up to date and the overall… -

Definitely. Perhaps it's more a matter of what audience is being targeted, but I never miss any Rockstar games -- especially GTA installments -- while I hardly notice Ubisofts latest iterations. However, I really like what Ubi's been bringing to the multiplayer table lately, but that's besides the point. -
Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 is approaching 100 million copies sold.....
I think they have estimated at GTA 5's total production cost to be somewhere in the $265 million range, that includes both production and marketing. They made that back within a few hours of release. https://twinfinite.net/2017/12/gta-v-cost-make-how-much/ There is something to be said for the make-em wait game dev cycle.… -

Well deserved, hope Red Dead Redemption 2 has atleast 1/4 of that success. -
Re: Grand Theft Auto 5 is approaching 100 million copies sold.....
Not that I disagree, but something I learned a LONG time ago. Back when I was working on those old Tony Hawk games, I asked the president, why not give us 2 years to make a TH game? We could polish thing to a more unexpected level, over-deliver on expectations, put out WAY more content. His answer was simply this. "2 Tony…
