Grand Theft Auto has long been a series that allowed users to express their creativity in the form of mods for the series's single-player mode.

In response to the modding purge, fans of OpenIV have taken to Steam , Google , and Change.org to voice their frustrat  
"Our initial idea was to build on the concept of Story Mode heists to make a new gameplay experience for GTA Online that was more focused on cooperation, where everyone could play to their individual strengths and feel like they had a stake in the outcome.

And while it seems that OpenIV modders encouraged the team to fight, and may have been lumped into the sum of modding tools that alter the game's code, the team behind OpenIV recognized the futility in entering a legal battle with the publishing ti  
"we go towards authenticity […] In the game there's these rival gangs. There's Black gangs, Latino gangs ... we recruited a guy who gets gang members, actual real gang members, like El Salvadoran gang dudes with amazing tattoos, one of which had literally gotten out of prison the day befo  
"Myself, and other members of the LSPDFR and GTA modding community ask that OpenIV be allowed to continue distributing and running as a modding software, and that the modding of the Grand Theft Auto series, including SA, IV, and V be deemed legal again as Rockstar Games has said in the pa

With regards to what's next for GTA 5 vehicles|https://gta5play.com/ V and GTA Online , Sarwar stated that the goal now is to release the heists and see what people think of them. If there's one thing the GTA community won't fall behind one, it's letting Rockstar hear their opinions.
