I think it’s important to remember that this was pitched as a single game originally. It was announced the year Mass Effect 3 came out. Comparing it to anything else is honestly pointless. Rockstar is building a game off its success and profits of GTA V. This is a ten year saga of broken promises and scope creep so astounding that people are saying they’re building four games when they’ve yet to prove they could deliver one. That’s just wild.
It’s also important to mention that the community was polled before the pivot to multiple games and increasing scope creep. The backer community itself said to keep adding features.

A prime example of FOMO and sunk cost fallacy at work.
That poll was very early on. Like 2014 or so.
It’s not like this was hundreds of millions of dollars later. The community just wants it to be the best game it can be.
