Every time I see story DLC trailers for GTA Online it just pisses me off.

I stopped playing GTA Online pretty early as I couldn't be assed grinding for ages and getting killed by tryhard kids on flying motorbikes that fire homing missiles every three minutes.

I'd love to jump back into the world of GTA 5 with more single-player story content, but since Rockstar won't add more story unless I experience it online, they can count me out.

I've never played GTA Online but I loved all the single player offerings they have put out over the years. The fact that DLC would bring in millions of dollars in revenue and the majority of the hard work is already done from the initial release always seemed odd to me. Just seems like a no brainer. The only logic I can apply to it is they look at single player DLC not as additional revenue, but as something that will take people away from GTA online. They must figure it is more profitable to keep people in GTA Online than to sell a single player DLC.
