Vice Cry is a FULLY ORIGINAL mod, not using ANY converted assets. Apparently, a new rule was also allegedly added that said that as well as not porting content from older games, modders cannot create new content, either - which means they can't do very much of anything anymore. Now, however, Ash alleges that the agreement was "updated without informing the community, multiple changes and words were changed to pretty much add in a disclaimer that Take-Two can override any of this and well, Take-Two can do what they want". "The original was drafted up in 2017 and can be summarised as "Don't port maps/vehicles/content from older GTA games or other video games series to RAGE" and 'Stay away from Online, absolutely do not touch Online or anything related to GTA Online'". "Now what came from this is Rockstar Games stepping up and talking to Take-Two to highlight the importance of the modding community and as such the takedowns dropped but some 'rules' were put into place. "Naturally this did not fly well back in 2017 and both gamers and the gaming media attacked Rockstar and Take-Two for this decision," they continue.

As Ash puts it, an agreement to help the publisher and the modding community peacefully coexist was struck a little while back when Take-Two "tried to make modding GTA games illegal".
