GTA Online, in 4 months of it being out, has released more (actually new) content into the game than dust has in over its entire 1+ year of being released.
What's up Shanghai? I mean, really.
Rockstar has an absolutely huge development team (Numbering more then 500 employees for GTA online alone while dust doesn't even have 100 I believe and some of those devs are split between iceland and shanghai). If they didn't release that much content in 4 months then they would've been seen as a joke to every other game company. Really for the amount of devs they have working on GTA online they are actually doing pretty bad on the new content. Also not to mention that GTA V was guaranteed profit so it got plenty of money to spend on the game. (The largest budget for any game made so far in fact) Also after having made over a billion dollars within three days of release you should have plenty of money to make the game better without any risk. Oh and Rockstar has said GTA onliebn is going to continue even after GTA V. Rockstar wants GTA online to be a continued way of making money so of course they're going to release a lot of new content to keep their playerbase contempt so they can make more money.
Seriously I don't even see why people compare two games with one being made by a niche indie company and the other being made by a triple A company with an already established playerbase. Hell the two aren't even the same type of game.
The whole point I'm trying to point out here is that GTA V is more of an MMO than Dust is right now. Dust is so far from where it claimed it was going to be by now it's not even funny, and CCP has a triple A game behind it's belt, and is making certainly a good amount of money from it CONSTANTLY.
GTA V isn't supported in the way EVE is, it only has cash cards to bring in monthly income (and not a lot of people get cash cards). EvE and it's Plex system is an entirely different story however. And to think that a company with such a successful monopoly lets Shanghai bring Dust into complete ruin from the first start makes me completely confused.
