MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

Take-Two has shut down the Grand Theft Auto IV Definitive Edition Mod
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/take-two-has-shut-down-the-grand-theft-auto-iv-definitive-edition-mod/
The team behind the Definitive Edition mods for the first four Grand Theft Auto games have revealed that the mod for GTA IV has been taken down. (...) Interestingly enough, GTA IV Ultimately Beautiful Edition has also been taken down. Now I don’t know the reasons why this particular mod is no longer available. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if Take-Two is also responsible for this. After all, the company has shut down A LOT of mods for its classic Grand Theft Auto games.
>> Now the question is, are Take-Two/Rockstar doing this just for the sake of being d*cks, or they're d*cks because they'll launch a GTA IV remaster/remake/Definitive Edition and don't want to give people other (maybe even better) options? We'll see.
