GTA 6 will make that money back just from the pre-order sales alone.

We have the chance to do the funniest thing when gta 6 launches by just doing nothing. Let the pre order retards have fun in their pride parades

Man, the money really lost their meaning. 2 billion for a game, some trillions in US debt, a few gazillions of Anthropic revenue, a bajillion for a months rent. Go then and explain to your kids that money doesn't grow on trees.
