A particularly telling comment from a team member noted that while Swegta is preparing a more detailed video explanation, “this was not something we wanted.” Such phrasing strongly implies the arrival of a cease-and-desist order from Rockstar Games or its parent company, Take-Two Interactive.
Back in October, Swegta had initially dismissed concerns regarding potential legal repercussions. He argued that since the mod required a legitimate copy of the game and didn’t compete with any current Rockstar titles, it should be safe. However, “Bully Online” notably featured a paid early access tier. This monetization of intellectual property often acts as a primary trigger for corporate legal departments. While the full story remains to be told, the gaming community expects more clarity in the coming days.
