Rockstar taking down more GTA 5 mods

This isn’t the first time Rockstar has taken action against the modding community within GTA 5, considering they went all-out in 2017 by taking down certain files.

Now, they are once again pulling some of the community-made add-ons that players are enjoying, and there’s been a lot of speculation as to why they are doing this all of a sudden again. Mods they’ve pulled off the game lately have included some remakes of Vice City and Liberty City, which were all fan favorites.

This is primarily due to the notion that fans believe they are removing these add-ons as they’re changing their policies regarding mods, which could turn into something they’re working on behind the scenes.
