Vice City: The Next-Gen Edition might escape Take-Two's wrath

GTA publisher Take-Two has a history of removing mods and even sometimes suing their creators, but even after developer Rockstar's parent company annihilated their YouTube channel, a group of GTA 4 modders still plan to release their slick Vice City port later this week.

That's the buzz around the bright-eyed GTA YouTuber community. The modders themselves, who go by Revolution Team, haven't updated their Telegram. The Team's last post in English reiterates Vice City Nextgen Edition's January 25 release date with a YouTube trailer that collected over 100,000 views before getting smited.

"What now? I heard you're under sanction…" one VK user says, according to my translation.

Rockstar literally just took down a Liberty City GTA 5 mod, but that's not stopping these modders porting Vice City into GTA 4 – and they might just get away with it.
