Whats your point? GTA Online is a different game than GTA 5. One is an MMO as a live service game, the other is a single player campaign with story. Just because a game uses same engine and shares assets, does not make it being the same game. Lots of games do that, that is totally normal.

    GTA Online started as the multiplayer component of GTA V, so when it launched in 2013, you had to own GTA V to play it.

    I know, but its a completely different genre and not really the same game anymore. GTA Online is not just a different game mode, its a different game that runs. It had its own monetization and updates. GTA Online is basically its own game trapped in the main menu of GTA 5, like a launcher that bundles multiple games from the same series into one. That's why I believe the next iteration will be separated. Rockstar didn't even mention the online part yet.
