While Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5) isn’t a small game by any means, it seems we could have gotten a lot more if it outside of the main story mode if GTA Online didn’t explode in popularity. This was something former Rockstar dev Joseph Rubino revealed recently, as well as the reason why the GTA 5 DLC plans were scrapped.

Speaking in a video interview, Rubino, who worked as the Senior Camera Artist and Virtual Cinematographer for Rockstar from 2010 to 2016, mentioned that the reason why the planned GTA 5 DLC was scrapped was due to GTA Online being so successful that Rockstar had doubts the DLC would be able to compete with it. “When GTA Online came out, it was so much of a cash cow and people were loving it so much that it was hard to make an argument that a standalone DLC would out-compete that,” says Rubino.

What a waste, the cancelled DLCs could ve the most brilliant things to ever happen to this game, the North Yankton DLC being an extension to the map sounded soo freaking good man

I just finished the main story of GTA-V cuz i never played it before, bought the game and just played online. the main story was so good and i kept wishing there was more to it.
 
Pains me to see the potential getting obliterated from GTA 5 for support in favor of Online, while I loved playing online too and sinking like 2500 hours in it, I REALLY wanted to see more of Franklin Michael and Trevor evolve in these DLCs, a damn shame tbh

....Sigh well NO ONE can refuse the milking if it generates them a heap ton of cash I guess...
But I just wish Rockstar could ve prioritized player value more, oh well, I hope they can deliver everything they got for GTA 6
