From GI.biz: "A lone developer has triumphed against a DMCA takedown issued by Grand Theft Auto owner, Take-Two Interactive.
The takedown was issued to a group of fans that had reverse-engineered the source code of Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and shared it online."
"Grand Theft Auto" publisher Take-Two Interactive is working on an "significant" cost reduction plan following mixed earnings results for its October-December 2023 quarter
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.

Imagine being so rich that another Billion is just not worth the hassle... LoL :) -Sorry just can't relate...
Reminds me of the story of some ultra rich d-bag that had so much wine that he couldn't possibly drink it all so he had to sell like 10 million dollars worth of it. No one has earned that much wealth without exploiting others.
Thats not true.. there are ppl who for example discovered cure are super rich due patent..
A GTA movie will end like a fast and furious.. omg one of the worst movie series ever..
@Roarke The scientist that discoveres the cure doesn't become rich. The patent will belong to Lilly, Pfizer, Merck, or Roche.
The money made is then disseminated amongst the executive board members and administration teams who provide zero value to the company. The scientists will continue to be exploited receiving raises and bonuses that do not beat inflation.
Again exploiting others in order to become rich.
isnt he also the guy that said that games are way too cheap? haha.
i mean i agree with him saying the gta games make them bank ha.
Which is fine, I would much rather all gaming companies just focus on making good games.
I don't know what this sub thinks of him, but I tend to trust Ryan Morrison ( "Video Game Attorney" ) when it comes to this stuff. This is his Twitter thread talking about the Kotaku article, which was talking about this.
This is such irresponsible journalism, and headlines like this hurt people. There is no “win” here. This developer, knowing he was committing perjury (a crime), not to mention blatant infringement, countered a DMCA takedown. GitHub had to restore it. Now he can/will get sued.
“This counterclaim seems to have succeeded” as the link was restored. No, all counterclaims succeed under the DMCA. Now the rights holder has to sue you to enforce their claims. In situations like this, they often will. Talk to a lawyer before writing about the law.
No issues with Kotaku generally, but these articles are so dangerous and this needs to be taken down. I get worked up because I’ve seen countless lives ruined for devs just like this. And they all cite articles similar to here when making their decisions.
