Weeks after modding GTA 6's map to GTA 5, modder pre-emptively pulls all their work offline after a single YouTube strike from Rockstar's owner
"I expected something like this could happen"

Yet another 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GTA 5 mod project has been pulled from th𝔉e internet, just week𝓰s after its initial release.
This time, the ambitious mod in question – developed by YouTube creator Dark Space – aimed to add GTA 6's Vice City map to GTA 5, using glimpses of the real thing seen in the official tra🐬iler as well as allegedly leaked information to recreate the next best thing to Rockstar's upcoming bl✨ockbuster before it even launches. However, as , Dark Space has now had a video showing off the mod taken down from YouTube, apparently as a result of a copyright strike by Rockstar owner Take-Two Interactive, and the modder has pre-emptively removed download links to the mod itself, too.
, too, in which it's stated that, simply, "Grand Theft Auto" content was used throughout the "entire video."Take Two interactive has copyright claimed and removed my video on the GTA 6 map I made in GTA 5. I expected something like this ꦜcould happen. I am surprised they didn't bother emailing me. I would have taken it down if asked.
While Take-Two hasn't taken action against the mod itself, Dark Space explains in⛦ the video: "I've also removed the download links to my mod, even though they didn't ask me to, but I think it's smarter to get out in front of them, rather than waiting for their email that will never come." VG247 notes that some links on older videos still appear to be active, but these may not lead to the most up-to-date version of the mod.
Unfortunately for the GTA modding community, this sort of action from Take-Two Interactive and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rockstar Games isn't exactly unheard of – far from it, in fact. This year alone, we've seen a group of GTA 4 modders who were porting Vice City into the 2008 game get their YouTube channel taken down after another apparent copyright strike from Take-Two, while another mod that added GTA 4's map into GTA 5 was hit with a "friendly takedown" after contact with Rockstar Games. While it's worth noting that the team behind the latter mod (the Liberty City Preservation Project) later became "uncertain if this takedown request is genuine," takedowns like this have been happening for years – in 2022, for example, a modder behind VR mods for the likes of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 was also 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:hit with a DMCA takedown.
Elaborating further in the latest video, Dark Space continues: "Moving forward, I won't be making any more content like that with GTA 5. The game's dead anyways. I only did this project for the community and to make a fun video on it for my viewers. The project was completely free to download. While I did spend tons of time making it, my plan was to ꩵearn the money from my video itself."
