"I don't see why people are scared of it" – ShipShaper developer Tomas Sala on why indies shouldn't be stressing about GTA6 "The media doesn't cover indies anyway" GTA6 is messing with Tomas Sala's plans. "And then I saw all this stress about, 'Oh my God, GTA is coming, you have to pack it before September'."

He points out that most players don't buy indie games – indeed, a 2025 Circana survey found that 63% of US players buy a new game once every six months or less (with 33% buying a game less than once a year), while only around 14% buy a game once every month or more. I'll see if it can oppose GTA."
