Between now and 2025 can EA Games or Activision make something in the “Grand Theft Auto clone” genre? Perhaps revamping Godfather or True Crime

I don’t think any dev is willing to take the financial risk to build a true GTA competitor and anything “lesser” would never get a fair shake unless they did something truly unique with the setting/characters

You either go all in and try to compete with THE biggest video game ever with an insane amount of cultural cache or make something with a smaller budget that’s most likely going to get downplayed due to the direct comparison. You’re always gonna be the Clippers being compared to the Lakers

Are you legit asking if they can develop that in two years?

I don’t even wanna think of what bullshyt EA and Ubisoft would put out to compete with GTA, if given real dev time. The first word that comes to mind is monetization.

There’s a reason R* is the only group to consistently put all the effort and resources into this
