    It’s a momentum from early 2000s. Rockstar (or was it Take 2 by that time?) set a lower moral line in the gaming industry and published games like Man Hunt and GTA III, where you can commit crime without much consequences. The gaming experience was nouveau and a thrill.

      The game series also mixed in a lot of mafia movie vibes and satire.

      Then Rockstar realized you can release a lot less content by pushing online gameplay, stopping the release of single player content.
