Take Two shuts down paid GTA Online cheating mods, profits donated to charity
Understandably, the community wasn’t thrilled, particularly as Rockstar has promoted OpenIV mods in the past.
Rockstar defended the decision, saying OpenIV enabled “malicious mods” in GTA Online.
And now, Take Two has closed down additional mods that were used to cheat and grief online.
PC Gamer reports that Force Hax – a supposedly undetected mod menu for PC that ‘Bypasses Latest Rockstar Anti-Cheat2’ – Menyoo, and Lexicon were contacted by Take Two and have since shut down their paid mods, and will be donating their proceeds to charity.
The Force Hax site now displays a message reading, “After discussions with Take-Two Interactive, effective immediately we are ceasing all maintenance, development and distribution of the Force Hax cheat menu services. We will be donating our proceeds to charity and we apologize for any and all problems Force Hax services have cause to the Grand Theft Auto Online community.”
Lexicon and Menyoo display similar messages, but mention that the charity is to be designated by Take Two.
As much as the community didn’t take the news of OpenIV being shut down well, I doubt many will miss tools like these that exist to annoy the heck out of players that don’t cheat.

They shouldn't stop single player mods, I agree with multiplayer mods. Single player mods don't effect anyone else's gameplay whatsoever, so leave them be

I really hope they don't get super strict on modding, modding is fun even if it gets out of hand.

Mods made this game fun imo, I never did it but it always looks fun. Doubt people would want to go back to playing normally.

I haven't played GTA Online for about 18 months now, back then, mods weren't that widely available but it was still really tedious to play with all the shoot on sight kids.
Back on GTA IV, I loved playing with Mods, mainly when in lobbies with friends. I hope Take Two re-introduce them in some format in the near future.

Kinda glad that they've done this. People get annoyed over the single player element which is understandable, main reason why i kept my PC this whole time. Was thinking of getting back into it. But glad to see they're taking this action for the game, shame they didn't do this to the online mod creators sooner.
