For what I’ve been seen on other social media people might think this is a bad idea and to them they might monetize this I don’t believe so tho

Well well well, I'm processing this the best I can. I'm too far out of the loop, I mean to me FiveM still rhymes with NTA. I'm not too familiar with the current people. Good on the Cfx team, proud of you guys, really. This is exciting.

FiveM already has monetisation.

 

FiveM its self has a subscription package that comes with extra features, R* will likely replace the payment provider they use for this with themselves, allowing them to take that cut.

 

FiveM servers meanwhile are horrifically monetised by server owners.

 

If you think R* will monetise it then you know nothing about the state of current FiveM, cause it's already rampant. When it comes to actual FiveM servers it actually can't get any worse, but seeing as monetising servers is against R*'s ToS, it may actually now get better now that R* are officially involved.

Wonder what this means for FiveM relying on Source SDK Base, would be nice if they can make it so that's not needed anymore (as it doesn't help with FiveM's stability that you're running essentially 2 game engines at the same time)

Oh I missed that. That's really cool, makes it even more exciting. I'm happy it "ends" like this and not yet another C&D.

That server is one of the best that FiveM has ever had, way better game modes than anything in Online. Shame it's more like a well-kept secret since you can't find it amongst the sea of copy-pasted Roleplay servers.

yeah unfortunately we had to shut down over a year ago. but we're planning to make a comeback soon, and hopefully the partnership between fivem and r* will give us an opportunity to make it even better

It doesn't actually use the source engine itself, it's just a way for them to get FiveM onto the steam services for stuff like connecting to servers or tracking player counts etc.

Wasn't there a successor server of some sort? I recall playing a server running the same stuff earlier this year.

Well when you guys make that comeback I will definitely be playing. Hopefully Rockstar will promote servers they're fond of like they do with the community modes currently.

Actually, thinking about it - I'm reminded of this;

Funny thing is this was also probably a PR move after the Red Dead fisaco. Been in the works for a long time, but conveniently announced when everyone is angry at them. I wouldn't be surprised if this announcement was supposed to come in those "coming weeks and months".

Yep it may be a bad idea. Rockstar won't put in as much effort as the passionate RP modders did.

The original team have been absorbed, they're still working on it.

Rockstar won't let them do what they want

Looking forward to Ivaneh's 2 🙏  Though there is a server called Megas thats, as far as I can tell, using the same systems that Ivaneh's had?

Also uh... once again the RP servers and RP mods are owned by private people, Cfx develop the core technology which I think would be a great addition to R*'s future online projects if it goes that way. This will be good for enforcement on those NFT servers and so on especially, as mentioned earlier.

Curious what will be the case for Tebex, will its partnership with FiveM soon come to a close as Rockstar prepares for a new platform?

Tebex has more customers IIRC, though Cfx are probably their biggest. It's possible the partnership will just become a partnership with R* though (for now?) and just like Cfx gets a cut from resources/mods, R* would as well.

I wonder if Rockstar is putting these guys on top of maintaining the current GTAO while the current devs are moved towards the next project.

Yes, I am not very knowledgeable in the topic, if this is what you're suggesting.

Nah they'll continue to maintain FiveM as is, and potentially anything future, but I don't think it's changing anything for current GTAO.
