Today, 15th of June 2017, OpenIV, the software that has made modding into a pc master race fashion in Rockstar Games' games, was announced to be shutting down due to a takedown from Take Two Interactive.
If you, like many other people think this isn't a decision they should make, I urge you from the bottom of my heart to sign this petition. It barely takes 5 minutes from your time and it stops the devious acts implemented by Take Two and Rockstar Games.

im still reading all the messages coming in and its clear how much this modding community means to everyone. im putting together a formal request to send over to rockstar so they know exactly why this decision was a mistake.

im still processing how quickly this exploded but honestly seeing so many people stand up for the modding community is incredible. the momentum is real and it shows they cant just ignore us when we all push back together.

The only reason I bought GTA5 pc version. I would never have bought this game without being able to play mods. I will never buy another Rockstar or any game dealing with Take2 Interactive.
T2 are pathetic. What about the people who use it for making Machinima. I have a YouTube channel and I am trying to make money. How can I do that? If it's not updates its losers closing it down. PUT IT BACK UP.
More people buy games on PC because of modding. Maybe the game Devs should look at what the community wants and actually listen. There is always negative response from the public about the content of GTA... and because of mods, we can play as the heros instead of jerks stealing cars. We want the ability to play as police.
Modding is what keeps this game fresh for those who do not wish to partake in the cash grabbing online mode that is riddled with hackers. Keep this up and you will loose a lot of players.
This is just another money grab from TTI. Your company image should be more important than the little bit of money you will make in SharkCard sales. And we all know that your player base is going to drop, and itll drop fast. Leave the modding communities ALONE
Please don’t shut down the servers on ps3 gra5 online my kids love this game I love this game
What's the point of even playing anymore?

I think it's ridiculous to rip apart a community that plays your game AND bought it one hundred percent legally, just because you're "afraid". I only bought this game for lspdfr and modding as well as ALOT of other people. I'm also very ashamed at the Openiv crew for not standing up for the community, but I'm not afraid to.
