Is GTA online still attracts new users in droves? I doubt.

If the old users live with the loading time for years, they are likely to continue living with it. It would be nice if Rockstar fixes it, but I doubt it would be anything except a PR win.

I rarely play it and the load time is actually the main factor. If I have an hour to play a game waiting for GTA V to load unfortunately feels like a waste of time and a chore, so I play something else.

Before GTA online they entertained themselves in other ways. Eventually, they'll move on. The more friction there is to continue playing GTA online, the easier it is for there to be something to pull them away. Rockstar are now competing to be a use of someone's time, not for them to buy the game.
