Rockstar explains lack of GTA 5 DLC: 'We did not feel single-player expansions were possible or necessary'

Way back in December 2013, Rockstar wrote on its about "substantial additions" coming to GTA 5's single-player mode. Those additions (substantial or otherwise) never materialized, and fans were left wondering what happened. In a recent interview with , Rockstar director of design Imran Sarwar laid it all out - though how you feel about his answer may depend on how much you like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA Online and how much you're looking forward to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Red Dead Redemption 2.

"It was not really a conscious decision, it’s just what happened," Sarwar said. He 🍷called the existing GTA5 campaig🧸n "absolutely massive and very, very complete" before outlining three issues that he says prevented Rockstar from moving forward with expansion plans. For starters, there was the move from PS3 and Xbox 360 to PS4, Xbox One, and PC, which Sarwar said ate up time and resources. Improving and expanding on GTA Online was also a major effort, and the studio split a large portion of its crew to work on the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 as well.
"The combina🍌tion of these three factors means for [GTA5], we did not feel single-player expansions were either possible or necessary," Sarwar said,♎ "but we may well do them for future projects."
If this sounds a bit familiar, Sarwar told back in 2015 that "Grand Theft Auto Online changed the flow of development from what we were traditionally used to, which has been a learning experience for everyone. ... GTA Online has proven too interesting and too important to be separate from the main mission of the entire team". This new𒐪 interview is the first time he's explicitly said that the studio chose to focus on multiplayer content over single-player additions, however.
Judging by comments, the playerbase is fairly split on this. Some call BS and say Rockstar only cares abo🌃ut milking GTA Online players while putting in minimal effort, while others say they're glad that focus went to things like Red Dead Redemption 2. I'm curious though: with GTA5 single-player DLC officially dead and not going to happen, are you satisfied with Sarwar's justification?
