Sure, but I think GTA V was a good deal in the long run. A pretty solid single player campaign and a good amount of online content once that was up and running. I’m not sure if there was online dlc or how that worked, I haven’t played it since about a year after launch, but they had lots of extra content too over the decade.
They released tons of free content updates over the years. For me, it got stale pretty quickly because you needed increasingly huge piles of in-game money to participate in any of the new content and that means either grinding for hours or buying fake money with real money.
The single player and the world building were top notch though and it still doesn’t feel like an old game after 10 years. It’s crazy to think GTA 5 is now older than San Andreas was when 5 was released.
I rather enjoyed GTAO but then I remembered that I was bankrolled by a cheater very early on. Not sure I would have loved it if I had to grind for money instead of immediately buying everything I ever wanted.

They made money hands over fist with microtransactions and the selling of fake money.
It’s part of MMO game development to stop ingame inflation. But if you can sell some poor sods monopoly money: why stop inflation?
