After repeated round-up of Take-Two for modifications there was a thought that the policy of terror will continue, but after that the GTA community did not report any major new closings. Is the copyright holder calmed down? ..
However, despite this, the creators of the GTA United modification decided to personally suspend their business, without waiting for warnings from Zelnik and Co. The authors said their parting words, thanked everyone on your website and closed access to downloading the mod (we have it available – download). The modification fell under the description of those that were actively prohibited – it united Liberty City from Gta 3 and Vice City from GTA: VC in the same world with the state of San Andreas from GTA: SA… The history of this global fashion began in 2006 and lasted 15 years. Previously, the creators claimed that there weren’t much further plans after the current version 1.2, but now the project had to be closed once and for all.
Users also noticed that the statement released in 2017, was changed – a year ago, the fourth (iv) point was added there. It deals with the prohibition of the creation of “new” games, plots, tasks or maps. As such, Rockstar and Take-Two have expanded the list of mod categories that they can remove at will.
