Why are people still buying Grand Theft Auto V?

In a recent conference call to discuss its latest quarterly financial results, the games publisher Take Two provided some astonishing statistics about Grand Theft Auto V. According to the company's CEO, Strauss Zelnick, the open-world gangster adventure, originally released in 2013, has now sold more than 75m copies. Not only that, but NPD Group sales data shows it was the sixth best-selling game across all formats in 2016. If you look at the current UK games chart, GTA V is at number two, beaten only by Resident Evil 7, released last month. There are some obvious reasons.
