I would argue that games like WOW, LOL, Minecraft and even Counterstrike all did the infinite live service before GTA V did.

If you take it that way, makes sense. But GTA Online was (is) a huge cash cow. Minecraft and CS didn’t make as much money off in game purchases and stuff like GTAO did. Well, CS got the skin system but that’s a whole separate thing.
