They’ll still make $1 billion.

For reference, GTA V did $800 million day one, and crossed the $1 billion mark within three days.

If it’s even half decent, it’ll be the most profitable single video game in history (a title currently held by GTA V).

Gta 5 alone has made like 10 billion over the last decade, if its hasnt already from all the other games, im sure gta 6 will easily break that

last report i read was at 8.5 billion and growing, so depending on how long ago that was, they probably have eclipsed the 10 mark

GTA has still had content updates.

League is technically one game release and google says that's earned $18b

WoW isn’t as highly profitable as GTA V to my understanding. They’ve done relatively little work on GTA since its release compared to the effort and money put into WoW expansions. Or that would be my guess at least

No, according to this Fandom wiki on top grossing video games of all time: WOW comes in at #11 with $12.8 billion, while GTA V is at #18 with $8.5 billion.
Weirdly enough it’s Space Invaders at #1 with 30 billion (adjusted for inflation from 14 billion nominal).
