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.
