00:00I'll be honest folks, when hackers announced they stole a vast trove of data out of Rockstar
00:05servers, I was ready for some who really killed JFK level info dumps.

00:19That's not saying it's boring, if the data is right, we've learnt that Red Dead Online
00:24makes around $26.4 million a year, GTA Online just under half a billion a year.
00:33Oh and when it comes to big spenders, PC is bottom of the pile, with players on all consoles
00:38including the venerable Xbox One spending a lot more per week on GTA Online.
00:45Maybe that's why we haven't got a GTA 6 PC announcement yet?
00:49Interesting numbers, sure, but hardly world altering bombshells, I guess I can't fault
00:56Rockstar for not paying the ransom, GTA Online makes money, isn't exactly top secret.
