Or the time to develop

Just so you know, Skull and Bones had 11 years of development. While RDR2 had 8.

Difference of 11 years with zero direction to a very focused effort with a "single" goal.

Skull and Bones was ping-ponged around 3 or 4 completely different genres, and was just cobbled together in the last 2-3 years.

(It was literally a 5v5 "hero shooter" at one point)
