It's all fun and games until you try to make money from someone else's IP
Just look at the mac address then
Unfortunately our copyright system mandates that copyright owners must defend their IP from infringement, and making money off of an early access mod that revolves around copyrighted materials you don't own is definitely infringement.
No lies detected
who was trying to make money
From the article:
This wasn't like the GTA online mods. You couldn't host your own server and had to pay for access to theirs. They never said rockstar forced them to take it down either from what I have seen, it might be they just decided they weren't making enough money.
The article clearly states that the mod only allowed paying users to actually play multiplayer. So the mod devs were clearly looking to make some money off of it.
