To protect their revenues, the developers have become strict against modding in multiplayer. In-game purchases are a definite source of income for Rockstar, but mods can cause a significant loss.
The only reason developers of GTA 5 are worried is because of modding in multiplayer gaming. In fact, the use of mods in the entire GTA series has been a popular trend. They have become a leading platform for users to discuss, team-up, and create new mods. GTA fan communities have been actively developing unique GTA 5 mods – they are one of the best gaming communities around. What if you found out there are ways to dramatically change the gameplay and do whatever you like, become superheroes, or fly cars! Rockstar North has received critical acclaim for the gameplay, presentation, and graphics of GTA V. Packed with action and adventures, this game clocked $6 billion in worldwide revenues.
A reason factor behind its outstanding success is realism (and surrealism!) in the gameplay along with the high degree of freedom.
GTA V is one of the most successful video games even in 2020.
