2. While the main story of GTA V is great, it's the online portion which kept it alive

The role playing community and the casual masses of people who like to play online with a friend or two is what made V sell so well in the near decade since its release. Rockstar had no need to make GTA VI when they were making money hand over fist with relatively cheap modifications and additions to GTA V.

I bought V when it launched on PS3 (!!!) and I enjoyed the online portion even though I mostly played the missions solo and went after achievements. The game was just a shell of its current self back then but it was a lot of fun. I have a personal policy of not buying games on more than one platform, especially when they are little more than money grabs. So I never picked up the PC or PS4 versions of V and I won’t be buying the PS5 version either although I am desperate for a new game on that platform. I’ll definitely buy VI when it arrives as I am sure it will be spectacular even though I am good 20-30 years older than the typical player.
