L.A noire was made by someone else, not rockstar them selfs. Max Payne, while awesome, sadly didnt succeed financially, so its team was disbanded, and merged with another (Rockstar Toronto). Rock star san diego took a long dog time to make RDR, and they are taking their sweet dog time for RDR2. open world games take a lot more time then they used too, and rockstar certainly take their sweet dog time. from what we know they have 3 teams working on 3 different games. rockstar san diego is working on RDR2, rockstar Toronto are working on a "large scale next gen game" though it might just them be assisting on RDR2 and/or GTA6. and of course Rockstar north are without a doubt working on GTA6. while its sad we are almost 4 years in this gen without a new rockstar game released yet. i doubt it has much to do them with relying on microtransactions as much as it is them just taking time with their games and just being bound by current development standards and time frames
I don't like the gaming as a service trend.
Microtransactions make rockstar so much money so of course they'd focus on it, but that's not as fun for players who don't care.
