I'm saying, every Rockstar release is delayed. This is not new behavior.
GTA IV, GTA V, LA Noire, Red Dead 1, Red Dead 2, Bully, etc all had their official releases delayed at some point. Sometimes multiple times. Yall acting like you're going through your very first Rockstar release.
And the bigger and more immersive these games get, the longer the delays take. These aren't 5 GB games like San Andreas. Red Dead 2 was like 100 GB, this game probably going to be 200 GB just at launch - even more massive with eventual updates. They aren't scaling linearly in size so why would you expect the games to be released at the exact same intervals?
Bottom line is, the game is going to come out within 1-2 years and probably be the best game you've ever played. You will forget all about the delays.
