I mean, that's generally the answer but how do they gain here? Again, since it requires both GTA 4 and 5, wouldn't it be more likely to drive sales of both from people wanting to play the mod, thus giving Cockstar more revenue? At least Nintendo's inane BS makes sense, trying to stop emulation because you "need" emulators to play pirated Nintendo games. Taking down this mod, or the VR mods, doesn't make a lick of sense.

Probably automated at this point, not that they would have passed an opportunity to be evil for the sake of being evil manually.
