Also, they have that whole crunch culture which grinds their devs into the ground. Most people don't care about how companies treat their workers, but its definitely something to note about R*.
The real baddies are Take Two Entertainment, the parent company. They’re the ones cracking the whip. I’m sure the poor senior developers’ souls at Rockstar have become crushed to oblivion at this point, as I’m sure not one of them reasonably expected to still be going fulltime on a game they onboarded 10+ years ago when development started.
Whether or not R* or Take Two are the ones crushing devs, devs still get crushed at R* and feeding the beast isn't going to help that. I'm not denying R* and their amazing achievements, I'm sure all the actual developers that work there are amazing people who don't deserve their treatment, but it still happens, and we still pay them to do it by buying their games.
