Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games’ parent company, has filed a lawsuit against the team that reversed engineered Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City for their Re3 project.
In the lawsuit, it’s noted that the team violated the company’s EULA, which forbids people from reverse engineering the games. Additionally, the Re3 project, which is being developed by reverse engineering these two classic games, adds new cheats to them, which is also forbidden by the EULA. The filing can be checked out in full here.
Take-Two Interactive taking action on this matter may be related to the rumored new Grand Theft Auto Trilogy, which will supposedly include Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. The publisher did hint at some remasters or remakes coming from them in 2022, so it’s likely that these classic open-world game will make their debut in the coming months on modern hardware.
Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games released the original Grand Theft Auto Trilogy back in 2005. The compilation is currently playable on PlayStation 4
