KSP wasn't an insignificant game, but by no means is it huge

KSP sold over 5,000,000 copies, it is the 159th most reviewed game of all time on steam, and conservatively earned around $100,000,000 in gross revenue between the base game and it's expansions. Perhaps not "huge" but it was much more significant than a lot of people realize.

it’s significant by itself, but when you compare it to games like GTA V(and Online), RDR2 and the NBA2K series it looks like a small indie game in comparison, Take Two could probably keep going with those three series alone(NBA and GTA Online generate a lot of revenue from micro transactions alone, and GTA 6 will probably also bring more money in the first hour after release than the whole KSP franchise in all these years).

without a doubt! GTA5 earned more than a BILLION dollars within the first 3 days. It started as a money printer and hasn't stopped.
