Rockstar reveals why GTA V didn't get Single Player DLC:

No, it was not really a conscious decision, it’s just what happened," Sarwar says. "With GTA V, the single-player game was absolutely massive and very, very complete. It was three games in one. The next-gen versions took a year of everyone’s time to get right, then the online component had a lot of potential but to come close to realizing that potential, also sucked up a lot of resources. And then there are other games – in particular Red Dead Redemption II. The combination of these three factors means for this game, we did not feel single-player expansions were either possible or necessary

The good news for story fans? Rockstar not having the bandwidth for an expanded story campaign in GTA V doesn't mean no Rockstar games will have them going forward. "We would love to do more single-player add-ons for games in the future," Sarwar says. "As a company, we love single-player more than anything, and believe in it absolutely – for storytelling and a sense of immersion in a world, multiplayer games don’t rival single-player games."

The true reason is that they could earn much more money from GTA online and shark card than a single player content

It's a shame to see how single player is being treated. I still think that single player is capable of giving the best player experience possible. It might not have some of the long term appeal that multiplayer has, with increased variables, but the ability to create a great player experience is more consistent with single player.

So cool!

Whats cool? That there will be no additional singleplayer content? I can see no sense in this post. This are bad news everyone would love to see some High Quality DLC for GTA V.

I have to agree and say, yes , the game is more than complete for me
