@piques15 $TTWO could drop 30% this week and my ’26 ROI would barely notice. I’ve had worse Mondays this past month. https://t.co/meivfWSxx6

apparently $TTWO wanted to make sure this quote still holds up. https://t.co/09z8jddmcH

Seems like im the only one blown away by these numbers. $ttwo had an incredibly storied history with many successful games and over a decade of high margin gta5 online numbers, but even pre Zynga writedown barely had any profit. Will gta6 be different? https://t.co/CivKO6DyFX
