Posted June 15, 2017 https://www.kotaku.com.au/2017/06/popular-gta-v-modding-tool-shuts-down-community-explodes/ Quote The creators of Open IV, one of the most popular modding tools for GTA V, are shutting their services down. They claim they have received a cease and desist from Take-Two Interactive after nearly 10 years of operation. The news comes as a shock to the PC Grand Theft Auto community, who use OpenIV to add thousands of mods into GTA V. Even though I can't play GTA V/4/3 etc,etc I'm suprised too.. A Dick move in my opinion. Quote According to a post on the official OpenIV website, the alleged cease and desist came on June 5th 2017. The supposed problem, OpenIV's creators say, is that the program allows "third parties to defeat security features of its software and modify that software in violation Take-Two's rights." After discussing their options, the team behind the tool says they decided it was not worth their time to fight back. With the amount of people upset from this, I wouldn't be surprised if Take Two Came out and said something... Which i really doubt tbh Some people are even saying "I can safely say, "Fuck Take-Two and everything they represent." now" I Agree. When I am able to play GTA V I want to be able to mod.. I mean, Some youtubers to LSPDFR Which I believe requires OpenIV to install cars,mods and all that stuff. So, Cop role playing mods allow "third parties to defeat security features of its software and modify that software in violation Take-Two's rights" ? Lol okay This seems like a really Butt hurt action to do. A lot of other popular games allow you to have mods for their game. But Take-Two? No. It's a big "Fuck you" now.

Posted June 15, 2017 Well that's not shocking, really. What do you expect from a tool used to dig through files used by Rockstar's games? Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

It's used for Installing mods though. I'm assuming you can uninstall and install/ save a backup? idk. Never used it. But Modding was always a fun feature for GTA V (especially GTA V) Ryzen 5 3600 RX 590 8GB WD Blue 1TB (full specs on profile) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 15, 2017 wow, did not see this coming. That seems so random. I'd like to know what their problem even is... to the best of my knowledge it just lets you install mods, it's not breaking DRM or anything that's actually illegal or problematic.

You download an external program link that to the files and your RSSC account and play as usually a civ or cop etc and get a paycheck, But it's not as money grabbing as GTA:O.

It'll be like that Steam workshop and paying for things, they'll change it and as soon as bombs start dropping and fallout starts flying they'll change their minds about it. But only time will tell.

I support modding; I used to mod a long time ago when I was younger and I think modding is very valuable for gaming and gamers. There was a time when games were actually good, and devs even provided editors and mod tools. This wasn't an issue until DLC became a thing and companies became insecure that the product they would force people to pay for would be inferior to what some 14 year old could put out. 5800X3D / ASUS X570 Dark Hero / 64GB 3600mhz / EVGA RTX 3090ti FTW3 Ultra / Dell S3422DWG / Razer Deathstalker v2 / Razer Basilisk v3 Pro / Sennheiser HD 600 2021 Razer Blade 14 3070 / iPhone 15 Pro Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been someone who plays it without end, anxiously awaiting the next one so I can switch to it and continue on the same way, but in light of this, that stops now unless they realize their mistake.
