Grand Theft Auto V and its ongoing Online component have been wildly successful for publisher Take-Two since it was first released two entire console generations ago. In 2020, the game had its best year of sales since its 2013 launch, yet in spite of its continued popularity, people seem to be pretty sick of hearing about it. In the news, anyway. On Twitch, at least, people can’t get enough.
