GTA V modders report bans for creating alternate online space

A number of modders working on an alternative online playspace for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V say they had their Rockstar Social Club accounts blocked last week, barring them from playing the game or other Rockstar titles associated with the account.

FiveM is an in-development mod allowing Grand Theft Auto V owners to play together on dedicated servers, separate from the centralized, semi-persistent competitive/co-operative space of Grand Theft Auto Online. On Reddit over the weekend, GTA V PC subreddit moderator qaisjp detailed how he and two developers working on the mod—NTAuthority and TheDeadlyDutch—received ban notices on their Rockstar Social Club accounts in quick succession last week. The Social Club account bans mean they can't even access the single-player mode in their copies of Grand Theft Auto V, and it also blocks the use of any other games previously tied to that account, such as Max Payne 3.

"I believe these bans may be in relation to my existance [sic] on the FiveM project," TheDeadlyDutchi wrote on the Rockstar Support forum over the weekend. "I have not done any reverse engineering or other work on FiveM that may go against the TOS. I hope to resolve this soon."
