„Rockstar“ įveda griežtus apribojimus GTA VI modams

Prieš oficialų GTA VI išleidimą „Rockstar“ paskelbė naujas modifikavimo gaires būsimam veiksmo žaidimui, atskleisdama griežtas taisykles, susijusias su bendruomenės indėliu į visą GTA pasaulį. Modifikavimo gairės, kurias pastebėjo „ResetEra“ forumų naudotojai, buvo paskelbtos rugsėjo 10 d. Jos nurodo, ką žaidėjai ir moderiai gali ir ko negali daryti su GTA žaidimais, kai kuriais atvejais nustatydamos gana griežtus apribojimus.

Labiausiai išsiskiriantys apribojimai – taisyklės, draudžiančios plėsti ar keisti „oficialias siužetines linijas, siužetus, misijas, veikėjus ar kitus elementus“, susijusius su „Rockstar“ žaidimų visuma. Studija taip pat draudžia modus, kurie „jungia žemėlapius, vietoves, veikėjus, siužetines linijas, žaidimo elementus ar kitą intelektinę nuosavybę“ iš skirtingų „Rockstar“ žaidimų. Tai įvyko po 2025 m. pradžioje įvykusio incidento, kai „Rockstar Games“ pašalino modą „Liberty City Preservation Project“, kuris GTA V atkūrė GTA IV žemėlapį.
