Take-Two sues GTA 5 account boosters for pressuring "innocent" players into buying unauthorized goods

“While GTA lets players experience a fictional underworld of lawless enterprise, the entities behind PlayerAuctions own and operate a real one". So claims a lawyer for GTA 6 and Borderlands publisher Take-Two Interactive in a complaint filed on Tuesday against third-party asset marketplace PlayerAuctions. They accuse PlayerAuctions - who have already faced similar accusations from Roblox - of selling modified player accounts obtained by hacking, via Polygon.

(I have no choice but to respect the hustle of trying to make GTA's "fictional underworld of lawless enterprise" sound as cool as possible during a lawsuit. "While GTA lets players do cool and fun fake crimes...")

"The website PlayerAuctions.com offers a vast online marketplace containing thousands of listings for unauthorized, infringing GTA V content – including heavily modified player accounts, in-game assets, and virtual currency – all gained by using hacking software, cheats, and technical exploits,” continues the complaint.

GTA 5 Legacy Edition currently has more Steam players than free Enhanced upgrade

2025 is meant to be the year of GTA 6, but for PC players, it's also the year of the GTA 5 Enhanced Edition. This long-overdue upgrade to the 11-year-old sandbox game, which has already been available for current-gen console players since 2022, has finally arrived, offering PC players an equivalent experience. However, despite the improvements and the fact that this is a completely free update, there's still a surprisingly large amount of players sticking with the old Legacy Edition - on Steam, there are currently more people in the old version of Grand Theft Auto 5 than the Enhanced version.
