Red Dead Online wasn't a missed opportunity in the eyes of Take-Two's boss, but I'd say it's proof that following the GTA train doesn't guarantee the world
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick defended Red Dead Online's success, citing Red Dead Redemption 2's sales and the online component's longevity. However, the article argues that Red Dead Online's performance should be viewed in comparison to Grand Theft Auto Online, suggesting that simply following GTA's successful model does not guarantee similar results. The piece concludes that while not a complete failure, Red Dead Online serves as a reminder that even successful companies like Rockstar Games can face challenges when replicating past successes.
