There are already private servers. There are whole communities built up around role playing in bootleg GTA 5 servers.

For context, one of these is FiveM[0], which is very popular (and if anything, a lot better than the official Online in many ways.)

Rockstar bought the developers of the private server software out and integrated them into their teams, presumably for GTA 6.
