Rockstar must be well aware about the fact that you cannot access GTA Online while you have installed any OpenIV mod. Modders have also benefited Grand Theft Auto games for the better - back in March, Rockstar paid $10,000 to a modder that managed to significantly cut loading times on Grand Theft Auto Online.OpenIV, “Liberty City in GTA V” and all other mods/projects from my team and me are only specific for Single player. However, one developer involved with the project filed a country notice with Github, and the source code is currently still online. The takedowns follow Take-Two's efforts to lay claim to reversed-engineered source code of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The post was created in 2017, but only shows the more recent 2019 update. "The original was drafted up in 2017 and can be summarised as 'Don't port maps/vehicles/content from older GTA games or other video games series to RAGE' and 'Stay away from Online, absolutely do not touch Online or anything related to GTA Online'", Ash wrote in the forum post.Īsh also claims that in 2019, this agreement was "updated without informing the community, multiple changes and words were changed to pretty much add in a disclaimer that Take-Two can override any of this and well, Take-Two can do what they want."Īlongside the update, Ash mentions a rule that stipulates modders can't port older content to Rage or GTA 5, but they also can't create new content, leaving them fairly limited in what they can make.Īsh also notes that there is now no way for the community to view the original version of the agreement posted by Rockstar, as the archived version is apparently not available to view via wayback machine. In the official GTA Forums - as spotted by PC Gamer - user Ash_735 noted that Take-Two has been "going heavy with the DMCAs this week", issuing takedowns to modded maps including GTA3 Portland, Vice City Overhaul, and GTA: Liberty City, a 15 year old project.Īccording to Ash, Take-Two made an agreement with its modding community in 2017 after it "tried to make modding Grand Theft Auto games illegal."
Rockstar parent firm Take-Two Interactive is apparently handing out DMCAs for user-made maps mods in Grand Theft Auto 5.
