Take-Two initiated a civil lawsuit against five players in early September, and also issued a notice of delisting and complete deletion of the reverse engineering projects of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. However, this private project team does not intend to act according to the instructions, but rather forcefully filed a counterclaim.
The members of the project team stated that they did not use any infringing code, so this project is completely legal. Before Take-Two responded, GitHub resumed the project. However, Take-Two is not admitting counsel, but has prepared a full-scale litigation battle and has filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of California.
As we all know, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto 3 are difficult to run on new versions of Windows and new PCs. The re3 and reVC projects want to bring these two games back to life, but now they have to pay huge indemnities. possibility.
Today, GitHub also received another delisting notice for related projects, and the project has been delisted. Take-Two’s move is obviously not unrelated to the “Grand Theft Auto” series re-enactment project they are preparing. Whether this private project can be restored depends on the outcome of the lawsuit between Take-Two and the project team.
