Take-Two Interactive officially settles GTA modding lawsuit


The lawsuit filed by Take-Two Interactive against a group of modders is finally settled.

The GTA modding community has conflicting thoughts about Take-Two Interactive's stance about modding.

Take-Two filed a court document on April 4 to formally dismiss the lawsuit "with prejudice", which means it's done and over, for good. An April 5 filing officially closed the lawsuit while adding all the remaining defendants aside from the four initially mentioned.

In the initial lawsuit, Take-Two claimed that it was owed $300,000 in damages. It's unclear if whether Take-Two received proper compensation or if the parties involved agreed on a different solution.
