Rockstar Games bans NFT integration in GTA mods

Rockstar Games opposed the integration of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and other digital assets on third-party servers of its Grand Theft Auto series.

\n\n

The company also banned the creation of new missions, maps, or stories based on GTA, improper use of intellectual property, sale of virtual currency and “loot boxes” for real money.

\n\n

Despite the restrictions, Rockstar Games has shown a permissive stance toward GTA RP servers, but reserves the right to take action against any third-party project based on the game.

\n\n

The studio did not disclose what measures would be applied to rule-breakers. For example, in September, the metaverse-focused company MyMetaverse integrated NFTs on its own GTA servers.

\n\n

Earlier, Mojang Studios, the studio behind Minecraft, stated that “do not support and do not permit” the integration of blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens into the game.

\n\n

In July, Epic Games Store head Tim Sweeney said that the digital storefront does not plan to back away from NFT projects.
