Meh. They cracked down hard over modders in Online so its reasonable that theyll do the same for RDR2 Online.

Probably, but it's still just easier to stick to consoles where they don't have to worry so much about people circumventing their monetization schemes.

They are also fighting laws that have popped up in some countries that have now labeled loot boxes as gambling.

That's EA, actually. Take Two is the one that asked Belgian NBA 2K19 owners to petition their local governments to change the law so the game could be more fun (rather than, you know, rebalancing the game so it could be fun without loot boxes), which is even more pathetic.

but it didn't make as much money as GTA4. I think it will be successful. I just don't think it will be GTA5 successful and people need to stop thinking that it will make as much as GTA5 and laydown some expectations down.

They have. Nobody is expecting it to reach GTAV's popularity or sales numbers, that's ridiculous. They are just saying it will be financially successful anyway and it is foolish to say it will flop.

I feel like everything I've read from the media that thinks that it will match GTA5 sales. At least the developer know it's not going to

"Considering Grand Theft Auto Vs persistent growth, and its becoming the most profitable entertainment product in history, expectations for Red Dead Redemption 2 should be similarly aligned, right? Wrong, argues Zelnick. Sales expectations are tame, even though Take-Two believes it will perform well commercially."

And a flop is a little too weird to me in this day of age. Like Batman v Superman was a financial flop even though it made $860 million dollars and only cost $250 million dollars to make.

I'll only be playing it for the single player, but if they continue the trend they did with GTA5 and ignore that aspect of the game in favor of the multiplayer then I will probably not bother.
