Rockstar's TOS, what does this mean for modders & server owners?

FiveM Discussion

A better description was given by @d-bubble go here to read on it.

Incase you haven’t heard about I recommend you check it out here, and what this could mean for some mods out there.

As most of you probably heard by now Rockstar has recently made an official post on they’re support page and now within they’re terms on third party “Roleplay” servers which are an extension of the rich array of community-created experiences within Grand Theft Auto & Red Dead Redemption 2.

After reading up on this, this is a big issue for people running they’re own FiveM servers, and as well affecting a lot of mods for both singleplayer & FiveM, such as real-word vehicle brands, characters, as well as affecting trademarks, music, and generating revenue.

This mean’s generating revenue such as having “loot boxes” which can fall under real-word or virtual currencies which as most call it “pay to win” type server’s, but I’m not getting into that detail on “pay to win” items, I’m just explaining the new TOS.

So a lot of issues come down to if you run a server, and people can pay for vehicles, items, or whatever for that server is now against the TOS, this also means you cannot have vehicle’s with real-world brand names, or have partnerships with real-word stations like Simulator Radio, and so on, this also affects mods that help bring live radio station’s into game’s like HellSlicer’s FiveM Radio, which would now be considered against TOS.

If you have any more question’s or want to help add-on to this, feel free to comment down below as well, and I will update this as much as I can to help improve the understanding of what this would mean for FiveM server’s.

Thanks for reading,
Raccoon

This does affect FiveM, cause it’s still falling under Rockstar Game’s TOS.

Update on this to, this also affects FiveM with what I quoted before.

I’m against it because it’s a huge hit for me personally and the fact that my servers don’t get any monetization support means it’s a huge hit for most people. My server is inspired to build a more perfect role-playing community. Don’t care about profit. If it’s revenue from this product, that makes a difference for most people. Hope fivem’s explanation is kind to us. I believe they will give us a satisfactory answer. Hope to do better, this is my personal advice, it speaks for the individual, not the whole. I don’t want extra income, I just want to keep my server up and running.

It’s going to be a disaster for most people it’s really too bad if it was the nopixel server they should already be in trouble. Because you can’t make money, it means you can’t afford server costs and fivem memberships. I hope the official can give us a reasonable explanation, my personal opinion is this.

They probably will be, if they don’t change it around. Rockstar only found out about Lil Durk’s because he advertised loot boxes, etc. which made Rockstar update they’re policies.

stop being greedy a fivem server is not a business it is a game a hang out… if ur in it as a business ur bound to fail.

Bro you don’t understand what I mean my purpose is not to make money but to build a more perfect roleplaying community I’m just worried if I can keep it up For other servers I don’t know I don’t know what to do with them at least I know what I should do manage

servers in our region. Really bad they put fivem. As a business, a money-making tool, it’s too bad they’re bound to fail. In the name of role-playing. It’s a bunch of bastards to drain players’ money. I’m sure they will fail, it’s really too bad. They’re going to fail because they take it as a business. . Just a bunch of assholes. The price of paid items is horrible.

Let’s say IRL Car’s will be not allowed on fivem, does creating custom vehicles under gta’s car brands will be allowed?

Thats the part where im confused on, because it even says about Rockstars Intellectual Property (IP), I would say maybe come up with your own car brand?

i hope not

Also what would that mean for custom weapons?
Because there are a lot of very nice models from IRL guns. I presume at least car and gun sounds don’t fall under this rule.

Nothing you’re saying in your post, including this main premise, is even based on any truth.

We don’t need more ‘weird’ speculative topics where people spread an incorrect narrative.
