Personally I'm not even a fan of GTA; if I wanted to play it I could easily do on my PS3 or 360. I was only ever talking about it as a missed opportunity to score some easy extra sales, being one of the most popular games ever on what's soon to be one of the most popular systems ever and all that. Given we've seen everything from Skyrim to Assassin's Creed to Witcher 3 pop up on Switch, GTA5 has always just seemed a strange omission.

Well that's besides the point. The mindset in general is what matters and that's not a position only you hold. It in a way speaks for many, even if that's not what was intended.

Large entities do as they please. To T2 and R*, porting GTAV likely is at the bottom of the list of priorities. Focusing more on GTAV Online and GTA6 is probably more beneficial to them. Who knows, heck, they may plan to go above and beyond with GTA6 and do everything they can to make sure it's playable on Switch 2, on day 1. Would Nin gamers rather have that, or GTAV on Switch soon instead, if they had the choice?

It's not an either/or thing. There's nothing stopping them doing both. Sometimes companies, even the big successful ones, just make bad calls.
