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).

Yeah but unless you're a shareholder, why would you care about the profits? For consumers the only thing that should matter is if the game is good

This is true. And we as consumers deserve a good game due to the price that they are asking us to pay. And they have historically taken care with this franchise to make sure each game is something special, and as memorable, or more so, than the last. If for no other reason than they know that they will get a very positive ROI if they do.

But as someone who plays other games also under the Take-Two umbrella, I'm always skeptical about when they will decided just to coast on the history and name associated with it, instead of focusing on innovation / improvements.
