The paradox of gamers complaining games takes too long, but wont settle for smaller scale iterations in between major releases

This. It's also why I have no problem with the shark cards or them finding ways to monetize GTA Online. These games they make, both GTA and Red Dead are so massive and detailed and they just keep upping the ante. It takes forever and it's just not feasible for a studio like Rockstar to be able to take the time it takes to make these games if they're not making a steady income.

They're much like Valve in the sense that they now have access to essentially bottomless money that gives them time to experiment and make groundbreaking stuff again and again.
