Former Rockstar dev says GTA 5 story DLC was scrapped after GTA Online became 'cash cow'

A former Rockstar dev has discussed a standalone DLC for GTA 5 which was apparently scrapped after GTA Online went on to be 'a cash cow.'

Whether we might have had new Grand Theft Auto V achievements if its standalone DLC arrived is a question we won't ever know the answer to, since according to a former Rockstar dev, GTA 5's story DLC was scrapped after GTA Online became a 'cash cow.' GTA 5 standalone DLC was 'really, really good'https://www.youtube.

Rubino later adds, 'A lot of that stuff though did end up making it, I believe, into later iterations of GTA Online, I think. So it’s not like they wasted it. It was really, really good... But 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 outcompete that. I think looking back now, I would say that you could probably do both. But that was a business decision that they made.
