Why It Might Suck: With Grand Theft Auto Online proving to be a colossal revenue stream for Rockstar thanks to micro-transactions, it's possible that the developer may get a little too greedy for their own good by investing greater dev time in RDR2's inevitable multiplayer mode at the expense of the cinematic campaign fans expect.

After all, four years on from GTA V's original release, the game is reportedly posting some of its best financials ever due to the in-game currency players can purchase with real money.

Why It Might Not: Rockstar may be making money hand over fist with GTAO, but they're also one of the most consistently brilliant developers working today, and if any AAA dev can strike the right balance between commerce and integrity, it's surely them.

Basically, if Rockstar can't get it right, the industry as a whole is doomed.
