GTA:O could easily be free to play and they'd still make money off it.
yes but if you initially charge for it then you can make MORE money.
Honestly they could go the MMO route of old and charge you for the game, then charge you a monthly sub, then charge you via an ingame shop and people would gladly pay it. I mean hell just look at WoW, that thing is still raking in money 20+ years after initial release and it does all of the above.
