I could easily imagine variations of that where this is in maintenance mode with a couple of junior programmers because the senior ones either burnt out or moved on to another project. I’ve definitely gotten the impression that most games studios have roughly the same attitude towards their employees as a strip-miner has towards an Appalachian hilltop.
If this were anyone else but Rockstar, I'd agree with you.
But Rockstar essentially only have GTA and Red Dead to take care of, it's not like they're making an annual title or something :)
True, but they could still be understaffing and have their senior people working on the next big version rather than maintenance. It’s definitely penny wise, pound foolish no matter the exact details.
