Part
of this is
due to collapsing overall tax
revenues, which had been buoyed up in previous years by
huge amounts of tax paid by financial services in the City.
Usually,
due to the skill and dedication
of the developers, that approach didn't detract from the quality
of their games — just look at Red Dead Redemption and the previous GTA titles — however after GTA Online became favored over story mode, largely
due to the
huge amount revenue being brought in by microtransactions, fans are concerned.
