If they had of stuck to it, they would have been under pressure to delay it anyway. It's crazy that people can't handle the release of more than one game anymore. And if not for that attitude, GTA would have been out last year.
This game needs a sequel. They can do so much more with the advanced tech. I really don't understand why gamers have rejected new games and want old games resold to them.
They're worried about community backlash from releasing it within a few months of GTA. People get upset about this now and pressure for delays. Its absolutely stupid. Why cant you buy and play more than one game at a time or buy one game, finish it, then buy and play the next? If it weren't for this, GTA would have released ages ago and would have been and gone like every other game.
It's unfortunate what happened to Cyberpunk, but the gaming community swung way too hard the other way. You should let studios work on their games and release them when they're ready instead of constantly harassing them to delay them.

Re: In-Depth GTA 6 Analysis Hints At Potential Resolution & FPS Targets For The Full Game
