Cfx.re Officially Joins Rockstar Games

Amazing

Yesss! :rocket::tada:

I imagine it will be like an extension of gta in a completely new RP, with rockstar support where everyone can live in a new profile, with easy access, and play their RP on official servers. it would be absurd

I have mixed feelings about this. Rockstar Games and parent company T2I have been making a lot of bad decisions recently. Specifically the nail in the coffin for me was the recent greed induced scam “port” of the first Red Dead along with their various other neglections to their IP’s and the modding community over the years.

I fear that this “partnership” could go either way. It could possibly be the very best thing that has ever happened to CFX, or it could be the decline into a sudden death of the platform we have all come to know and love over the years.

Only time will tell I guess. :eyes:

fivem gelißmesi için gĂŒzel fakat umarım farklılıklar olmaz

Congrats :heart: you guys marked the history of modding

I really don’t know if this is a step forward or backwards.

Will we get good documentation on not-well documented natives in Native Reference - Cfx.re Docs ? Will networking finally be reliable and will work as intended, will we get more in-depth guides about how rockstar does some stuff in GTA Online that we could use them in FiveM?

Or will the community get more restricted, will Rockstar try and steal the fame and pivot players into GTA Online somehow? Will more services here become paid?

I don’t know, we will all know when we get more in-depth information.

Anyways, congrats guys!

If this is real and not a joke this is awesome!

Finally the Project gets the attention it deserves! :heart: Glad we’ve come so far!

As long as it doesn’t change anything reagarding ownership and decisionmaking im all for it!

Edit: Definetly not a joke! Roleplay Community Update - Rockstar Games

Excited what the future brings!

Your mentioned points are the only thing im pretty worried about.

I just hope its a simple partnership with benefits like better documentation and such, i’d hate if they get “control” about too much as we’ve seen how that could end.

INDEED. The aforementioned.

What will happen to Patreon in the future and also the partnership with Tebex?
Can’t see Rockstar being big fans of that

I could 100% see a subscription coming to FiveM through Rockstar itself.

I can’t wait to see what’s in store!!

This is not Good at all , Rockstar has to make the money back and what that means for us Rp players ?

Everyone is praising this, but everyone knows, more money more problems. Can’t wait to see how vividly greedy Cfx gets with Rockstar’s backing.

To be honest, I’m actually pretty hopeful for the prospects of this partnership for many reasons.

Let’s face it. This is a community that R* and Take-Two NEEDED to take advantage of. And I don’t mean that in a bad way. I mean it in the perspective that this FiveM community was simply TOO large to just “ignore.” The way they state it, calling us the “creative community,” puts a smile on my face because that’s exactly what we are - creators.

As a server owner of a fairly busy “car enthusiast” based server, I enjoy the fact that we “keep it simple” in our server with as little custom scripting as possible, giving the player more creative control to play the game in the way they see fit - and it literally puts a smile on my face to see exactly how creative they can get. We create our own stories with our characters, express our own creativity with our unique automotive “builds” and character clothing combinations, not to mention be able to share these artistic photo creations with the plethora of ENB graphics mods and Reshade tweaks, as well as video clips from R* Editor. The CREATIVITY of this community is simply otherworldly and so hindered by the “linear gaming” experience you get with vanilla GTA’s limitations and restrictions.

I always felt like there was always a strong “car community” in the GTA playerbase, but we never had that place to call home, which is why we ventured off into FiveM. And now, from what I’ve heard through other people, the Tuners DLC was one of Rockstar’s most successful DLC’s.

I feel like this partnership acknowledges R* and T2I’s awareness of these communities and only helps them to understand that the community DOES need a sense of their own creative control rather than control being applied by the system they put upon us. Obviously, there has to be some sense of order and control, but I feel like by understanding what creators are doing in the custom content community gives R* and T2I awareness of what kind of gaming experience exactly us as players are looking for.

And for those reasons, I’m very excited about this partnership and hopefully will lead us in a direction towards the next GTA to where they pay attention to the exact kind of gameplay we are looking for and implement it in ways that will still be very much enjoyable for us.

On the flip side, let’s face it. When you’re dealing with companies such as R* and T2I, it’s all about profits. The FiveM community is too large of a “there’s so much money on the table” opportunity to ignore. I could totally vision that there would be some sort of “paywall” system being implemented, to try and make-up for lost profits of Shark Card sales. Nowadays, everything is all subscription based, such as Twitch, Patreon, OnlyFans, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was going to be a mandatory subscription put in place, nothing tremendous, such as $5/month. If not to play FiveM, at least towards server owners that want to host their own server instead of being able to have a “completely free” localhost. That alone would maximize a considerable amount of profits at very low cost to the server owners (which most of us that own servers, already fork MUCH more than $5/mo. in VPS rentals and custom content purchases, not to mention the already in-place Patreon sub to stream custom clothes and have more than the default 32 slots). I was also thinking they could potentially take a piece of the “Tebex pie”, profiting on actual mod sales, but I think that would be too much of a “sticky” situation regarding the real world branding and licensing as a lot of mods could potentially be re-used and modified assets from other games or have branding that R*/T2I don’t have proper licensing for. It’s one thing to allow modding and have a “Hands-Off” policy that states they don’t control the content distributed by the community, it’s something else if they’re directly profiting from the sales of these assets.

Only time will tell. I like to think positively and more optimistically rather than trying to see all the bad and things that could possibly “go wrong” with this. Let’s keep our fingers cross and hope that this will only mean brighter and happier pastures for us!

EDIT - to all those that are probably saying, “WTF are you doing, basically telling them how they can make money off of us!?” Just so you know, big corporate companies, they already freakin’ know how they can and will make money off of you. I’m educating you on the ways they can do it while still keeping the majority of us happy.

At the end this was all planned by R* to make their own SixM once GTA 6 releases.

yes i know is worse but it will be nice to see some improvement or something about cheats!!!

So this means we might role play on consoles thats all im asking

well done Rockstar Games :heart: :clap:
