A Grand Theft Auto modder claims their work has been shut down by Take-Two.The modders are called Bloc, and in their A new post on the YouTube channelthey explain that their project is no longer due to the alleged removal from Take-Two.
Sentient Streets allows players to chat with NPCs via microphone. From cult members to police officers, players will experience different personalities and be able to respond to players in a variety of ways.
However, Bloc said that Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two, had removed their project, saying in a post on their YouTube channel, “Take-Two Interactive filed a copyright strike on my video on the GTA V mod, and YouTube immediately removed the video without any chance to explain itself.
Before this, no one from Take-Two Interactive contacted me and asked me anything, they just deleted the video out of the blue. My account on Netlify was also suspended two days ago. I use Netlify to host the mod’s installation guide. I contacted the claimant’s email address shown on YouTube (it’s a Take-Two email address), hoping there might have been a small misunderstanding, or that they could explain the reasoning behind it. Maybe this happened automatically, but the evidence suggests they manually removed the DMCA on purpose. I also didn’t get any response. It looks like they’re just attacking this mod from all sides.
Bloc also took a swipe at Rockstar and the recent Red Dead Redemption port, saying : “Instead of chasing small mods, maybe[Rockstar]Should focus on creating a proper remake with a better pricing policy, or should stop removing cars from GTA Online to sell those same cars to people.
