That victory was also meager and short-lived. As of 2021, the modding scene has been razed to the ground by Rockstar’s parent company. It’s one thing for Bethesda to shamelessly rip off modders. They weren’t killing off modders, only mooching off them. Rockstar didn’t just kill mods; they dissolved the bodies in lye and dumped the remains in the middle of the ocean to remove any trace they even existed.
Want to play the old versions? Too bad. Rockstar removed those original games from sale permanently. Future generations are now stuck with these overpriced, ugly, soulless abominations.
That move was rather ironic as the new versions too were removed from circulation. Don’t count on modders fixing all these issues if Rockstar has their say. In a coordinated action, invoking the aegis of DMCA regulations, Rockstar is going after and massacring the remaining modders still in existence like the ending of The Godfather. The great tradition of modding is now in peril. And without mods to rip off, where will companies get their ideas from?
You know the crass, cartoonishly shitty, greedy, shallow jerks that are depicted in Rockstar’s games, no care of what beautiful thing they are destroying, laughing at the little people? Those caricatures are indeed real, only they speak with British accents.
Nothing good has come from this cash grab … almost nothing. The internet broke out in a synchronized chorus of laughter. The final product might suck, but we’ll always have the memes. As revenge, modders have created sarcastic mods for other games purely to mock Rockstar’s incompetence, memorializing the now notorious “definitive” rain effects:
Enjoy your “definitive” migraine headache.
