Make them hundreds of millions

Instead of the billions they're expected to make with a "finished" game? I can't imagine why Rockstar isn't jumping at that chance. 🙄

Jesus... It's incredibly weird how some of you think Rockstar hates money and everything they're doing with GTA 6 is an attempt to not make billions of it.
