GTA5 Faces Player Uprising Over ‘Illegal Mods’ Controversy
The result? The result is that players are now rising up against the game in droves. Steam reviews for the game have become ‘overwhelmingly negative’ (Steam’s words, not mine), with over 30,000 reviews in the last 30 days being negative– most of them coming after Take 2’s cease and desist for the OpenIV modding tool, and citing their stance against mods as the reason. A petition on Change.Org has over 40,000 signatures, too, as players are demanding that Take 2 reverse their decision.
All of this is well and good- but as long as the game continues to make obscene amounts of money, which it will since the bulk of its sales come from the console version, as well as from GTA: Online, Rockstar and Take 2 are unlikely to care. Plus, I wish I could say that PC players are showing resolve, but the game is currently #7 in Steam’s concurrent players list, with a peak of over 92,000 players playing it at once earlier today.

The reviews don't really matter. The only way is to stop playing the game, but people won't do that.

This is kinda the 2nd biggest revolt we've had from a player base if not #1 behind the For Honor blackout, this right here shows you how powerful an audience can get.

Going to pc to try modding, hopefully wont get banned unless it's harder to mod nowadays, when I used to mod on it all you had to do was replace a couple files so fingers crossed I suppose.

Well if they loose money things will change. I guess it all started with mods so they made it illegal, hopefully they continue to loose money and revert the change.
