Uh oh. Breath of the Wild launched alongside the Switch 1 back in 2017. That was how many years ago? Three? Four? Surely no more than five?

We’re still in the dark with regards to a GTA 6 PC release date, but the neon-filtered pre-order screen for Rockstar’s next blockbuster on my PS5 looks too good to be true. I’ve racked up thousands of hours in GTA Online on PC over the last decade, but in the space between its arrival on…
