I don't really dig their games personally but considering GTA5 is like the best selling game of all time, I'd say people want them to hang around yes.

You could argue we dont need games at all, reallly. But do we want more R* games? I sure as hell do.

They haven't even released a game built from the ground up for this gen and you're saying the industry has outgrown them? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

We don’t ‘need’ any gaming company really. Games are entertainment not oxygen.
As long as there’s a demand for what Rockstar makes they’ll happily hang around to supply it.

Rockstar is one of the best and most reliable game makers in existence. Saying you're tired of them is like saying you're tired of quality games.
Quality games take time to get released, which completely explains the difference between a Rockstar game and a Ubisoft game.
I make this same argument for Blizzard. If you wan't something done right, you're going to wait for it.

You're off your rocker if you think Rockstar needs to go. They literally make the best open world games out there. GTA V is the best selling, top reviewed, and most played title out there and GTA IV was the same last gen. RDR and MP are held in high regard as well. They're credited with bringing the open world genre to where it is today. So many AAA titles copy them but none still come close to what Rockstar does. The quality of their games is unmatched. Anyone saying the industry doesn't need them is speaking from their ass.

We don't need any developer.
But Rockstar makes some of the best open world games out there and are one of the best when it comes to creating worlds that feel alive and have a ridiculous amount of detail. Not to mention that their games sell like crazy. GTA V came out in 2013 and still gets strong sales
Do we need them? No. But why would we want to get rid of one of the most talented dev teams out there ?

Are those the same people that say the new zelda is the greatest open world game ever made?

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Damn... everyone pouring cold water on the fire and we’re only one page in.
I think the need for Rockstar’s current format is nonexistent reason being is other developers have illustrated how to have large, open environments without having a “gangster” story attached to it (see, infamous, Watchdogs etc.)
If all you’re doing is adding graphical enhancements each gen than I think you fall into the madden effect even though we only get a R* game every 5 years or so

I like R*. Something would be lost should they cease to be.

No? We don't need any studio, games are a luxury entertainment -- we don't need any of this shit and we take it all so seriously.
But in terms of entertainment, the more the creators the better... why wouldn't you want more creations.

I personally don’t want a gaming landscape without them — it’s not like they release tons of shovelware and oversaturate the market — they typically releases a game every 4 or 5 years and they’re almost always interesting, and sometimes they’re brilliant. They’ve proven time and again they can adapt to the marketplace (just look at GTA Online, love it or hate it, it’s wildly successful) and produce relevant content.
RDR2, unless something goes terribly wrong, is poised to be one of the best games of the year. So yeah, Rockstar can stick around awhile.

Rockstar Games should make more games. Between GTA IV and GTA V five years and four months passed. Between GTA V and GTA VI the waiting period will be even longer I assume. They don't need to copy Ubisoft, which releases a new Assassin's Creed every 12 months, but they could increase their output a little bit. What about Midnight Club, Smuggler's Run, Bully, The Warriors, Manhunt and Max Payne? Are all their IPs besides Red Dead and GTA dead?
