Modder Dark Space created a speculative version of the GTA 6 map for GTA 5, which he later removed following a copyright strike from Take-Two Interactive. The controversial action has sparked discussions around fan projects, as many players viewed the mod as a way to build anticipation for the next installment in the franchise. Dark Space expressed concerns over Take-Two's aggressive stance against mods, arguing that they do not harm sales and often generate excitement among fans for upcoming titles.
"My guess is that the map is probably a little too accurate. They must feel some sort of threat from it existing, because they feel that having a playable version of the map to drive around in could ruin the surprise and newness of GTA 6 when it releases."
"In their corpo heads it leads to a loss in sales, but in reality my map does not negatively affect their sales. It was building hype around the game and giving players something to enjoy while waiting for the next trailer from Rockstar."
"Dark Space went on to blast the company for repeatedly targeting mods and other fan projects in the past, even in cases where the content helped make its products more playable at launch."
"It was catnip for fans desperate for something GTA 6-related to mess around with."
