Unfortunately, being a topnotch game was never enough for the "GTA V" multiplayer mode to be "forever" supported by Rockstar Games and Take-Two, GameSpot notes.

"We do expect GTA Online's results to moderate because October will be three years since we released it," Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said, as per GameRant. "Not only was it not our intention that GTA Online was permanent, but it's important that it not be permanent. We have to rest the franchise at some point."
