Grand Theft Auto Reviews Crash; GTA Online Cheat Killed [Jun 18, 2017, 11:17 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The reviews on Steam for
Grand
Theft Auto IV and
Grand
Theft Auto V have taken a turn for the worse following the
recent
shutdown of the OpenIV modding tool for Grand Theft Auto V (thanks
DSOGaming). The overall rating for each game has dropped to "mixed" as the
recent reviews GTAIV are "mostly negative" and the recent reviews for GTAV are
now "overwhelmingly negative" as gamers express their anger at the mod shutdown.
In semi-related news,
PCGamesN notes the shutdown of Force Hax, a paid mod that allowed users to
cheat and mess with other players in Grand Theft Auto Online. The mod website
now has the following statement:
“After discussions with Take-Two Interactive, effective immediately we are ceasing all maintenance, development and distribution of the Force Hax cheat menu services. We will be donating our proceeds to charity and we apologize for any and all problems Force Hax services have caused to the Grand Theft Auto Online community.”

OpenIV is a tool for modding the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, not for any particular game. It got started with GTA IV, hence the name.
Ah OK got it. Still seems like a huge overreaction and posting bad reviews which don't have anything to do with the game itself.
A game no longer being able to be modded sounds very relevant to the game itself.
Not if the developer never intended to support modding in the first place, which is usually indicated by provision of mod tools and/or documentation.
If Bethesda came around and patched out moddability from Skyrim and invalidated their mod tools, then I could get behind this sort of thing. But from all accounts, this wasn't something officially endorsed. Maybe I missed something though so feel free to point out where.
