GTA Modders to Court: Our Game Fixes and Enhancements Are Fair Use, Not Piracy
- willis936 5y agoI hope they win. What Rockstar has done in the past few months is disgraceful. They would have been better scrapping the entire remastering project the minute before release rather than actually releasing it. It's not like people weren't buying the game new legitimately on all of the e-tailers. A lot of things reek from Rockstar management here and they're bound to repeat these mistakes.
- havkd 5y agoAs much as I’d like them not to lose, they are going to have a hard time here, since they basically disassembled the whole game and posted it on GitHub.
- rsj_hn 5y agoso that's not a good idea, but being able to post your own patch code as well as patch instructions should be protected, IMO.
- wiliaonson 5y agoYes, it should be protected as they are the ones that did it to themselves.
- lostgame 5y agoIs there more information about this, in particular? This is the first I'm hearing about this case.
- zordeus 5y agoit was discussed here, a few months ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28402640 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28402640
- Grazester 5y agoWasn't the same done with Mario 64? Nintendo is the most litigious game company and they couldn't/haven't done anything about it. But then again I believe someone on here said they was a difference between how the two are done.
