It looks like the cycle is repeating again, like Take-Two Interactive, when it again steps on sites that offer mods for GTA games, but this time it’s not for Trilogy, but for Grand Theft Auto IV. Gamers may remember that before the release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition, parent company Rockstar Games Take Two Interactive shut down several well-known websites offering mods for GTA, especially for the trilogy.
Looks like Take-Two is resuming their anti-mod campaign with mods for Grand Theft Auto IV. The specific mod in question that Take-Two pushed for removal was one that apparently allowed players to unlock content from The Lost and Damned DLC in the base game, this meant that content such as weapons and vehicles from the DLC, will be present in the database. a game.
Take-Two Interactive goes after GTA 4 mod site
T2 DMCA’ed another website. At this time https://t.co/2fvhhmTIc3.
They insisted to remove “The Lost And Damned Unlocked”, which was downloaded 7,436 times since 02/16/2009. The mod enabled hidden TLaD content in GTA IV. Damage was done, I guess. https://t.co/zLMHQx4Yir pic.twitter.com/g2I5Lf43uA
This doesn’t seem like a fun time for Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar, as despite all the fanfare and positivity around Trilogy – Definitive Edition, the game hasn’t had the cleanest launches, especially on PC. If you add the Definitive Edition situation to Take-Two following the mods again, then this is not the best time for the company.
Last year, T2 was quite active in issuing DMCA notices and pulling down several well-known sites and mods, including a rather impressive reverse engineered mod for Grand Theft Auto III. The last time Take-Two did mods, it seemed like he laid the groundwork for the Definitive Edition remasters, and whether that means a Grand Theft Auto IV remaster will be next is speculation.
The removal of the modified GTA III mod has raised concerns in the community.
As it currently stands, the modding community is unhappy with the way things are going, and this could eventually lead to the modding community abandoning GTA altogether in the future.
