ROCKSTAR'S STANCE ON MODS

We have always appreciated the creative efforts of the PC modding community and we still fondly remember the awesome zombie invasion mod and original GTA map mod for GTAIV PC among many other classics. To be clear, the modding policy in our license has not changed and is the same as for GTAIV.  Recent updates to GTAV PC had an unintended effect of making unplayable certain single player modifications. This was not intentional, no one has been banned for using single player modifications, and you should not worry about being banned or being relegated to the cheater pool just for using single player PC mods. Our primary focus is on protecting GTA Online against modifications that could give players an unfair advantage, disrupt gameplay, or cause griefing. It also bears mentioning that because game mods are by definition unauthorized, they may be broken by technical updates, cause instability, or affect your game in other unforeseen ways.


I was going to make a topic about it, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Sometimes, people that want to see mods happen don't usually take other things into consideration when a game releases. Mods are great, but some people out there use exploitations of certain mods in order to hack and cheat in online games. This is the area where it gets messy. GTA IV was ruined online by unfair hacks to the point it couldn't even be played online anymore. Now, we started to see these things pop up in GTA Online as well. It's good to see R* working to get them from being online because other players are unwilling receiving items from hackers and then getting banned with those hackers because of it.
