I played 100's of hours into every GTA except for the last 2.
It's kinda weird that I didn't play the latest actually.
The singleplayer in GTA 5 was the only game to rival/top Vice City in the GTA series to me. Couldn't be bothered to finished #4, but have 100%'d #5 on ps3, and come close to a 2nd 100% on #5 on pc.
The multiplayer CAN be great, but it is hit or miss based off other players. But the singleplayer? Loved it. The gameplay, the story, the jokes.... the best GTA has done IMO, and I've played since the 2d beginnings (gouranga!). If you have a newer 6/8gb card,one of the best looking free roam games too, so much detail.

So why not implement a proper anti cheat system then, from all this money?
Never gonna happen with GTAV, because of the P2P nature of it's online portion. If anything, I'd like to see them put that money towards building in proper multiplayer without this P2P garbage in their future big releases like RDR2 and GTA6. It is far past the time that they can revamp something as large/integral as the multiplayer structuring of the entire game, in GTAV.

I still think 4 was the best with Niko, but the gameplay is better in 5.

cuz you can sell 80 million without a proper anti cheat system and also without treating PC gamers with a minimum of respect so why not?
I'd maximize profits, too, if I were dealing with sheep and lemmings who throw money at my product even if I treat some of my customers as second class plebs and if I can so easily get away with zilch support.

just as soon as they ship Red Dead Redemption for the PC.
I am curious how that RDR like western themed mmo will turn out

They'll get right on that, just as soon as they ship Red Dead Redemption for the PC.

I have given up on waiting for BIS to come back to their senses and do a real ArmA 2 successor.
