Games ALSO take longer to release than ever before.

Maybe...just MAYBE games are too big and complicated for their own good anymore.

Doing a small thing very well is far more impressive than a giant "we need all the standard AAA bullshit no matter what" soup.

There is no way it takes 11 years for a GTA game to be made. Hire more staff, Rockstar especially can afford it.
