I can't find the numbers online but they probably could've given GTA5 away for free and made a profit.

They did give it away for free and make a profit

They did both, and it could fund the next 5 GTA games for 500 years and still turn a profit if they never took another cent. Whatever this "journalism" is, delete it, block it, and forget about it. They are the enemy.
