Will GTA Affect The Solo/Indie Developer?
I've seen three mega launches of GTA over the years. Niche games can thrive, UGC games are dead for 3-4 months, AAA-AA games have no chance; iii games and friendslop will hit in spikes.

My brother Mark passed away last Saturday. Mark bought me my first computer to game on, the Commodore 64. He passed down his 1st edition D&D books (which I lost 😞 ). I found among his personal items, build notes for Fallout 4. Weird to think that he can live on forever in this virtual world.
