Take-Two really doesn't like anyone messing with its games. Rockstar's parent company has been on a spree of dishing out DMCA takedowns against any unofficial GTA fan projects that get onto its radar. Now that the GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition is out, we can see what the intent was, but whether it's justified is a whole different story.

The latest projects to join Take-Two's DMCA crew are GTA Advance PC Port Beta 2, The Lost and Damned Unlocked for GTA 4, and GTA IV EFLC The Lost And Damned (65%). According to GTA modding site, Liberty City, Take-Two Interactive asked that the three mods be removed via a DMCA takedown (thanks, Kotaku).

GTA Advance PC Port Beta 2 was a fan project that was working on porting GTA Advance to the GTA 3 engine. The game was originally developed by Digital Eclipse for the GameBoy Advance. The Lost and Damned Unlocked came out all the way back in 2009 and let you swap in Nico Belic, the protagonist of GTA 4, for Lost and Damned's Johnny Klebitz. It also introduced new cosmetic items like biker jackets and icons. And last, but not the least hilarious, GTA IV EFLC The Lost And Damned (65%) is basically just a save file that lets you start the game with 65% completion; it's not even a mod.

It seems Take-Two feels that if it manages to get rid of all these mods, more players will play the new and potential future remasters. While it's focussed on these DMCA takedowns, the reception of GTA Trilogy: Definitive Edition has been anything but great. Several issues have resulted in the game receiving a Metacritic score of less than one out of 10; 0.6 to be precise.

PC players didn't even have access to the game for almost two days after its launch. Rockstar mentioned that it was taken offline due to the accidental inclusion of content that wasn't supposed to be there. Coincidentally, dataminers found files related to GTA San Andreas' controversial 'Hot Coffee' minigame within the Definitive Edition's source code. This was probably the primary reason for the delay.
