I would bet that a lot of games receive a lot less development effort after release. Most of the devs probably got moved on to something else (sequel, or maybe a completely different title).

GTA Online is a live game that pulls in over half a billion USD per year in revenue. They release new content on a regular basis. It's actively developed, they just don't care (my guess would be that defects were filed against this on a regular basis and fixing it was never prioritized)

Or get 'made redundant', burn out or move in to a different industry vowing never to do a release crunch ever again...
