Rereleases Didn't Hurt Skyrim, But They Ruined GTA 5
The constant rereleasing of Skyrim hasn't harmed the game that much, but it's absolutely ruined Grand Theft Auto 5.GTA 5 simply was not made to be remade and rereleased as many times as it has, and the end result has been the game's own diminishing reputation. Every rerelease of GTA 5 only further drives in how long it's been since that original release, and how protracted the saga of GTA 6's development has become.
Skyrim first released two years before GTA 5, and has been rereleased on a number of different consoles over the years. This has become a running joke for many fans, especially for those who've set their sights firmly on Elder Scrolls 6, whose development is still apparently in the pre-production phase. Yet, for all the mockery, the reception of each rerelease has always been positive at the end of the day.

The same can be said less and less with each rerelease of Grand Theft Auto 5. Due to its far more linear nature, at least when compared to Skyrim, the game becomes more and more tedious as the years drag on. The most recent rerelease — which served as a next-gen upgrade for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S — is likely to be the game's last, but as the sun sets on nearly a decade of GTA 5 remasters and ports, it's fair to say that they've hurt, rather than added to, the game's once pristine reputation.
The biggest difference between Skyrim and GTA 5's many rereleases comes down to the fundamental nature of both games. Skyrim is an immersive open-world RPG, with a multitude of different storylines, character creation options, and quests for the player to go on. There is almost endless replay value, with every run feeling distinct.
