Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.
I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.
Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.
What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.
Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.
Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.
I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.
Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.
I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.
Discord messages Rockstar Games management reviewed before firing union members have reportedly been revealed.
They were involved in protected Union activities and Rockstar will be in trouble with the NLRB.
Basically this is Rockstar vs the Union members word. These employees could be cherry picking or spoofing the chat logs.Rockstar could be lying. I will withhold judgment until Discord is subpoened and releases the chat group text from their servers.
A rare interview from the former GTA and Red Dead Redemption writer and executive producer.
Interesting to know.
Among MGS4, Agent was the reason I wanted and bought a PS3. (Who knew we would get other gems like Killzone 2 and TLoU.)
I always assumed it got cancelled due to hardware restrictions even at that time.
Such a shame, I remember first reading about it in official playstation magazine, Agent and The Getaway are the two cancelled games I wish I could play 😩
Because it had to be open world, of course. Couldn't change that and make the Agent game work otherwise. Totally buying it.
I used to laugh whenever I'd see someone cite Agent as a game to look forward to, because it was never officially canceled (at least, as far as I've seen.)
"It's still real to me, dammit!"
Bully 2 should take place at a university! That waythey won't have to tone it down in language, violence, drug/alcohal use,sexual situations, etc.
Just think of all the cool activites youcould have
Joining a frat
Keg stand mini game
Taking classes
Playing pranks on the faculty
Having a shitty dorm
Spying on chicks
Part time job
Experimenting with drugs
Going to parties and trying to get laid
Possible since Vancouver merged with Toronto, and they were the ones who developed Bully.
I don't know. I could be waiting to buy it though.
