Luke Ross, a big VR enthusiast who creates modifications that add virtual reality to various games, announced that he received a DMCA from Take-Two Interactive.
The company demanded the removal of all software that helps to run gta 5Red Dead Redemption 2, as well as the Definitive Edition of the three parts of the Mafia series in VR mode. In his statement the mod author says that he does not infringe Take-2’s copyright in any way, and asks for help from the community. As in case re3one of the arguments in favor of protection is that these modifications cannot be run without the original game.
This demeanor for the copyright holder is typical when employees inside their studios are working on something similar. Or the bosses, at least, saw the benefit in the commercial use of ideas, and in every possible way close the air to alternative options that could lead to “economic losses”. Recall that about the work on a new VR-project it became known yet two years agoand at the end of the past took place announcement of GTA: SA in virtual realitybut this year don’t have to wait for it. Recent re-release of GTA 5logically, should have included a VR mode, but this was never implemented.
