ok, someone ported over the OG SA ragdoll mod to DE, doesn't change anything that is said in that article

Doesn't change the fact that Take2 are DMCAing modders and suing several of them as well.

Also, that mod is incompatable with GTA SA DE patch 1.04

It does. The article is old and they were trying to shut down the original trilogy mods because they were about to release the remasters.

Now that the remasters have been out for a year and sold over 10 million copies, they don't care anymore. The remasters have a page on Nexus Mods with already over 100 mods to download and Take Two is not harassing anyone about it.

what do you call this?

https://www.resetera.com/threads/take2-issued-dmca-takedown-notice-to-flat2vr-mods-for-all-of-their-games.604806/

Or this?

Also not everything was "Original Trilogy" like you claim.

Last I checked, GTA IV wasnt part of the "Trilogy"

You are defending a corporation that has more money than anyone in this thread.

They don't give a rats ass about me, you, or anyone else here, they just care about the money.

You arent going to get any special prize or privilege out of this, so I fail to see why you are even bothering. Games make most of their money in the first few days of release, which means that Take2 already profited no matter what anyone says.

I'm not defending Take Two, I'm being optimistic regarding the modding scene, at least, for DE trilogy, which has several mods made for it that are up and available for the time being.

The links you posted are all from that era in which they were issuing those DMCA.. They are kinda old news.

People are making mods for the DE and so far they haven't done anything against it. And after so much bad PR, they might leave it alone from now on.

I gotta put that thing on my wall that says "Number of days without a lawsuit from Take Two". They haven't sued anyone this year, so we're supposed to love them again? After how dickishly they acted towards the community that's been supporting them for years, do you think anyone will be willing to spend their time on those awful remasters that were the reason behind all those DMCA strikes to begin with?

one of them was literally from less than a year ago, the ♥♥♥♥ are you even talking about?

The company killed any good will they had with modders, which is why many moved on to other games.

The guy below you, Claude_Lib, is one such modder that Take-Two screwed over. He has a swathe of major contributions to the GTA modding community as a whole over the last number of years.

Hell, as I mentioned before in the VC discussion board, This guy was part of the GTA Reverse Engineering project that Rockstar/Take-Two sued

Do you honestly think that he wants anything to do with making mods on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile port of a game made by a company willing to throw him and others to the wolves all in the name of quick profit?

to be fair i dont C* and Take2Dicks have a leg to stand on even with the TOS... im not american , canadian .. but i thought in the US and Canada more than likely that once you purchase something its yours and modifying and changing it are ok within federal law, there has been several different version of cases like this in the usa from games or cars and even apple with their non repair bs that the courts determined was not ok.. this alone leads me to think C* and Take2Dicks will lose case almost certainly especially since this is a so called "remake/remaster" of a old series of games that DID NOT come with TOS, this alone should set precedent that their TOS is only being used to harass customers .. which is illegal on whole other level.. not to mention their TOS is for the most part due to C* launcher which requires online access for online services but these games dont support multiplayer soo again the TOS is quite clearly a tool to harass and abuse, rather than protect their IP especially since the IP is over 10 years old at this point .. i doubt the courts will agree that they need to protect anything.... theres other reasons why i dont think they got ♥♥♥♥ to stand on unless they standing on top of the pile of ♥♥♥♥ that is these games ... but yah if modders could find a lawyer whos a fan of the games/mods and would take on these cases pro-bono then i think we'd see these cases maybe go to court but either be thrown out by the court or be "settled" out of court again due to the courts basically calling out C* and Take2Dicks for their BS an making them settle ..

Quit being so dramatic and emotional. Like I said, there are hundreds of mods released for DE already and some of the most popular mods of the original trilogy have already been ported over to DE.

Sure, some people got burned and lost any motivation to work on mods for GTA, but not everyone. Some left, some stay... life goes on. Mods cannot be stopped and keep being made.
