Take-Two vs The GTA Modding Community, 2021 E&E Edition

[Badman_]

I disagree that they're becoming something that they never were. These companies are hardly any different from each other and you just need the right circumstances for it to become clear.

 

My opinion, obviously.

What a sack of sh*t company Take-Two is, hopefully EA can intervene and win this case.

 

If Rockstar/Take-Two had any dignity they would go back to GTA V and remove that line criticizing capitalism in the last mission.

It's quite depressing when EA looks more trustworthy than Take-Two nowadays, and that's saying a lot.

Seeing what battlefield 2042 doesn't look like

What is the link between EA and Take2? Is there a connection, other than Take 2 using some tactics most gamers usually attribute to companies like EA? Or is there some interaction between the two giants? I will Google it, but I'm at work at the moment, seeing patients and insanely busy.

I love it, two dogsh*t companies at each other's throats.

I just checked out the game they were talking about, and damn, it's dark. I might get it sometime.

Off topic but is the guy with green hat Ken Rosenberg's voice actor? 

Edit: nvm, he wasn't.

Oh that's great, let's all sue those big-time Hollywood directors just because they said "take #2" while filming scenes for their movies.

 

Like c'mon, T2, seriously?

Ladies and gentlemen, before our very eyes, Take Two, the owner of the greatest piece of entertainment ever, the Grand Theft Auto video game series, is turning into a trademark bully.

Oh noes, you said the word "bully"! Take-Two is gonna be after you now!

Damn, well i guess i can't talk about that Japanese street racing club anymore. The one that happens to carry the exact same name as a certain racing game IP that's been since abandoned by R* for over 13 years.

What else is new?
 

  

This doesn't wash their hands clean, considering that they've been on a takedown roll for the past 6 months.

Well It seems you'll have to go undercover, start using some website only reachable from the 'Tor Browser' and establish a modding community there.

 

Anyways, I wish the best for you, but I have a quick question dkluin, do you still have the scripts and files for the gta underground Roleplay server? would it work on SAMP? If so, would it be possible if I could use it?

 

Thanks and once again, good luck and have a good one.

GTA Underground is how I got into this forum. Since that got taken down, the entire GTA Underground section of the forum was also locked. I've been going crazy trying to find all the photo ops in Liberty City because the map that Miku Nakano put up on MediaFire isn't available anymore, and the guide that Crystalien put together is incomplete. I've actually been looking for ways to reach out to either of them about this. I need those snapshots.

@Ash_735 - Has there been any news on the re3 case? What's exactly going on right now?

Well, we'll just wait until they settle this one down. If Take-Two wins the case, we're all done.

The entire videogame modding community and maybe the open source/free software too.

Hopefully not, I pray the re3 team wins this case and R*/T2 finish up with selling their sh*tty Trilogy DE soon so things can get back to normal.

Fingers crossed, then. Maybe the Re3 guys will even continue up to San Andreas if they win.

Modders need to use russian sites where any american company basically gets told to f*ck off.

Yeah, like the impenetrable libertycity.ru 

Hah..

The scariest part is, the outcome of the re3 case will affect the whole modding community and not only GTA. Because if aap and the guys will be found guilty, the very next morning Nintendo will sue the guys who reverse-engineered Super Mario 64, and then who knows what else. This case is very important and it puts a lot of pressure on the poor defendants. I have all my fingers crossed for you guys.
