Reasons for Delay

Rockstar had promised GTA 5 players that they will be getting Heists at the time of its release, but even after so many updates and DLC this content has been conspicuously missing. When it released the details for the "I'm Not a Hipster" update it apologised its fans on the delay in releasing the update.

"We know many fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Online Heists that we had planned to release for you this spring, and they are taking more time to create than originally anticipated. We are very sorry for the delay, and are working hard to bring them to you as soon as we can," said Rockstar. So we know that Heists DLC has been in development.

YouTube user Ravil Khan posted a video giving out the reason for the delay in the release of Heists DLC. He gives out two important reasons based on Rockstar interviews.

1. Money Glitches
2. DNS Lobby

Khan says he and some of his friends have taken upon themselves and have stopped posting videos on money glitches as it was delaying the release of Heists. He says Rockstar was concentrating all its energy in fixing exploits and DNS servers that they invariably delay the DLC.
