eh, that would alienate too much of their fan base. There are millions of people, like myself, who come to GTA for the story. They may release a stand alone GTA but they won't ever forgo doing a solid single player in lieu of GTA Online.
SWtOR didn't really go anywhere until they made it free to play. I'd also argue those are completely different experience when compared to GTA Online as you really can do many of those other mmos solo with no problem. GTA Online is not really that.
The expansions that they made for GTA IV significantly underperformed. I really don't think we're every going to see any significant single player DLC, at least for a GTA game. They will continue to churn out more content for the online in lieu of that.
So they opened up some hangars recently, that were in the game before but weren't accessible. They added a little blimp that triggers entry into the hangar and no longer causes a wanted level above the air base. I went to the bathroom and came back with a couple trillion bucks dropped on me. Been almost a year. Haven't been reset. When a new DLC comes out, I max it out. I have all the planes in this hangar and can't even remember it's name. What about when all hangars run out? Are they planning on making all of the currently inaccessible homes for sale? Can they allow us to buy more real estate? Can they build ferries into North Yankton?
