When GTA loses its single player or riddles it with more mtx and live service crap, you'll only have yourself to blame for continuing to buy their crap.

So, in order to maybe not want to play future GTA titles in some theoretical future, you shouldn't play current GTA titles in order to discourage Rockstar from releasing these theoretical games?

The logic doesn't add up here, haha.

All titles. Not just GTA.

Every live service game that makes money helps establish an industry standard. I'd rather Rockstar go out of business and have no GTA games if it means sending that message.

"Live service" games have existed almost as long as gaming has been around, so I doubt that message is going to be sent anytime soon.

So long as people like you keep on buying their games, the trend will continue.

If you buy a SP game and they add MTX after thr fact, did you support the implementation of MTX?
If we get a SP campaign and don't play MP it will certainly be reflected in their data.
And believe: They will abso-fucking-lutely track the telemetry data out of it.

I am afraid they will make the whole game subscription based. You won't even be allowed to own the single player experience

Source?

I don't think he needs a source - it is a fear. And not an entirely unreasonable one. Hell, car companies are chasing subscription payments for seat warmers in actual cars... the guy is a bastion of sanity.
