How would they know anything about development cost lol, Activi$ion is still stuck in 2007 lol, cut 'n' pasten is free. They just throw their loaf of cash at marketing their product.
While that sounds nice, you'd have to lose the unique gameplay that seperates it from COD. I love the days of competition back then, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo/64, and Sony PlayStation were all different. Sonic, and Mario shared the same genre, but offered different gameplay.
GTA is the most overrated, terribly excuted game in the history of video games, right next to COD, I don't care what people tell me it's just crime/sex simulator of game, that poses no originality. People can have their fun with this, and cruddy fish moving Ghost. I'll be playing quality experiences like Batman Arkham Origins, and Battlefield 4.
