Regarding the recent removal of the GTA Mod, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick made the latest comments, arguing that the company’s policies are actually quite tolerant. Earlier, Mod developers successively received notices from this game publisher.
For example, the popular unofficial GTA 3 and Vice City Switch transplants have disappeared based on the company’s DMCA copyright removal requirements. In addition, there are some texture and module upgrades for old games.
On the other hand, we must also face up to the fact that many other mods have not been removed. In the recent earnings conference call, Take-Two CEO Zelnick revealed to investors. In terms of the delisting policy, we are actually quite flexible. Frankly speaking, if the economy is under a precisely defined economic threat or bad behavior occurs, we will send a removal notice to the Mod developer.
As reported yesterday, since its launch in 2013, GTA 5 has sold more than 150 million copies worldwide. Later this year, R Star will also re-release the latest upgraded version on the next-generation console. It remains to be seen whether this long-lasting game can achieve greater glory.
