The GTA 6 map in the GTA 5 Mod received two inevitable hits, which the creators thought might be “a little too accurate” and “may ruin the surprise”

Released institutions Great Theft Auto 5 All work on the project has been stopped after being hit by Rockstar owner Take -Two.
“Dark Space” created a free playable GTA 5 map based on GTA 6 coordinate data and official trailer shots, and uploaded the game video to his YouTube channel. When GTA 6 launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S this fall, his videos and MOD made headlines for headlines in January.
Then, last week, Dark Space received a horrible strike notification from YouTube after Take-Two issued a request for copyright removal. If the YouTube channel receives multiple copyright strikes, it will take the risk of termination.
In response, Dark Space removed all download links to his mod, although the fact has not been asked by Take-Two to do so, and published Response video On his channel, calling on companies to take action and suggesting that this is the result of the Department of Defense's shooting of the GTA 6 map, “maybe a little too accurate.”
In a follow-up interview with IGN, dark space is more philosophical. “I hope this will happen based on their past evacuation,” Modder said. “I went into this project and knew it was possible and the fact that it happened didn't surprise me.”
Dark Space says he thinks Take-Two follows his mod because it is based on the online GTA 6 community mapping project, which uses leaked coordinate points “perfect” and “perfect” to map out the upcoming virtual space, which can result in a surprise that could ruin players and the entire internet.
“This is probably the biggest red flag, although most of the work in my map is based on trailer photos,” Dark Space added.
“I think my map might ruin the surprise of the map I get. If you've spent years building this amazing game world just to get some YouTuber to destroy the shape, size and atmosphere of the map…I hope it also removes it too.”
The result is that Dark Space's GTA 6 Mod project no longer exists. It's not just a YouTube video, it's a perfect fit for the whole thing. “Well, they obviously don't want this project to exist,” Dark Space said. “So, this is not only threatened, but it is eliminated. There is no need to devote more time to what they are willing to allow.
“I'm just going to keep making videos that people want to like. I probably won't do any other GTA 5 related to GTA 6, because that seems dangerous.”
Now there are concerns that the GTA 6 community mapping project may be the next at Take-Two. IGN has contacted the group for comment.
Take-Two has a history of selling fan projects, recently The YouTube channel is a manufacturer of “GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition”, From the sub-city in 2002 to the GTA 4 in 2008, it extends the world, cutscenes and missions to the world.
A former Rockstar developer here defended the company's actions, saying Take-Two and Rockstar are protecting their business interests.
“Take2/R* is a commercial company,” Obbe Vermeij, former technical director of Rockstar Games Tweets. “They will remove mods that interfere with their business interests.
“The VC NextGen Edition Mod of GTA4 competes directly with the authoritative version. The Free City Conservation Project (GTA4 in the GTA5 engine) interferes with the possible GTA4 Remaster.
“It doesn't make sense for this. This is what the company should do. The best we can hope is that they allow mods that do not interfere with their business. For example, DCA3 (GTA3 for Dreamcast). Afaik recently made it happen to keep these projects going.”
