Rockstar Games bans FiveM authors from GTA V

Post by huckleberrypie » Tue Aug 11, 2015 7:09 pm

Thought I might share this given how Nintendo has acted pretty much the same towards emulator authors before:

The FiveM project is an unauthorized alternate multiplayer service that contains code designed to facilitate piracy. Our policy on such violations of our terms of service are clear, and the individuals involved in its creation have had their Social Club accounts suspended.
A ban has been imposed on several mod authors following the release of FiveM, an alternative multiplayer implementation for Grand Theft Auto V. While it is understandable as it competed with the official online component (a la Sony and Bleem), many saw this as an example of Rockstar's toxic relationship towards modders and the direction Take-Two's subsidiary is heading.

Let me fix that quote for you.
The FiveM project is an unauthorized alternate multiplayer service that contains code designed to work better then our own. Our policy on such violations of our ego are clear, and the individuals involved in its creation have had their Social Club accounts suspended.
Either allow all mods or ban them outright. Standing somewhere in the middle will just get you shot.

And it's yet another example of R* shooting themselves in the foot again.
