If world of warcraft hadn't added any content in 15 years it wouldn't be making much money.

Because that's still a ton of money. Also every time they update the game with more content, that's something you can only get if you buy or wait even longer. And it's easy for them to require payment to use GTA Online.
> it’s still the cash machine that runs the business today and it’s 8 years old
I don't think it would be a tragedy if they had to put out a new game at some point in the next few years to keep making as much money.
Also the game was already completely free for a week in 2020.
