I for one applaud Rockstar for going open source. So progressive and insightful of them.
Would that be Forcible Open Source Software?
FOSS anyways)
Forcibly Leaked Open Source Software
Several years ago I got an email about my rockstar account - someone had guessed the password and logged in, they were trying to change the email address. Luckily I’d managed to stop it in time and recovered the account.
Several years later, I decided to give GTA Online a go, I logged in and found I had billions in cash and loads of property and cars. I guess that they must have been nodding while using my account.
But I didn’t get banned so free stuff I guess?
Modding used to be extremely easy and detection systems weren’t implemented yet back in the day. I have an account with billions in cash just for being in the same lobby as one.
These days you’re still free to ruin everyone’s day with all sorts of griefing mods, but once you try and spawn in cash daddy rockstar gets angry at you.
Depends how you’re spawning cash. If it’s injected to be a payout from the mission, Rockstar won’t notice most likely
On the one hand, this is why security-through-obscurity is no good. Hell, even without a source leak, people figure out how to hack games.
On the other, much as I would vastly prefer if every online game was server authenticated so the client didn’t need anticheat, I understand that basically every game is a barely held together yarn ball and checking logic server-side would slow things down to an unmanageable level.
It sucks.
Yes and no. Games (all software, really) can be made slick and efficient, it just takes more time than most companies are willing to spend because they get their return even if its buggy and slow.
“Boss! Boss! The devil possessed me last night and I got some wonderful ideas for you! Want to ship way too fucking soon but still make money? Pre-orders! We get the people hyped and offer the product to buy now before they get to find out it’s shit! But wait, the devil had an even better idea than that… Early access if you pre-order!! We get their money now and they beta test for us! The people want everything yesterday so we can just monetize impatience!”
But does it compile?
There is a reason there are currently more players in fivem than gtao

The reality is that this game had consistently been the most popular game for over a decade now. So practically any exploit that could be in the code can and has been found. The source code is just a cool novelty to see how this game was developed at this point.
With source code you can port game to any device more powerful than Xbox 360, that means soon there will be gta5 android or gta5 switch or something
Damn, a new era of fake GTA V on Google Play is coming
But this time it may not be fake, since today’s smartphones more powerful than Xbox 360
Yeah, but probably not on GP, due to the copyright… so there will be people doing cash grab asset swaps with ad for every time you move a meter, and obviously malware creators on the internet

I’m trying to make myself remember about providing a source for the information, so one can say I needed that
Yes, they can, but it doesn’t mean they should, unless you wanna buy a new phone every few months, I’d know because I used to play Genshin on my phone.
And then Rockstar sue them before the project can even build.
Re3/revc source code and finished builds are still available
re3/revc are clean room reverse engineered projects, while gtav source we have is leaked proprietary code
They still got sued by rockstar
afaik that happened because they found out that some contributors used modified decompiled code
And it’s still available nonetheless
