However, in a new message posted on their YouTube channel, Bloc says Take-Two has taken down the mod from the Nexus Mods website, and has also had the YouTube video removed. Bloc then chose to remove the mod from the GTA5Mods website to avoid any more issues.

“Yesterday, Take-Two Interactive hit my channel with copyright strike about my video on GTA V mod and YouTube removed the video immediately without giving any chance to explain myself,” they claim.

“The reason for this takedown shown by Take-Two Interactive to YouTube was because I used their software (GTA V) in the video. No one from Take-Two Interactive contacted and asked me anything prior to this, they just took down the video out of nowhere. Two days ago, my account on Netlify was also suspended. I used Netlify to host the installation guide for the mod.

In an attack on Rockstar, Block concluded: “I am hoping that anyone who enjoyed this mod will remember this dishonest action taken by Take-Two whenever they hear any news about Rockstar. Rather than chasing small mods, perhaps they should focus on creating proper remakes with better pricing policy or should stop removing cars from GTA Online to sell those same cars to people.

    Yup. Honestly this point given how they’ve handled everything from mods to ‘remasters’, and their shitty monetization I’m not excited at all for the next GTA.

        I’m genuinely curious if the combined cleverness of certain pie ratty communities can bring this mod back to life — or at least availability…

      Me too I always got super hyped for gta releases, played them since the very first on Pc and loved em but like so many beloved games, greed has ruined the series
