†I don’t sell or host anything that exploits or reuses their original IP and assets and my mods only work if the user already owns a legal copy of their original games. That said, if I am not getting any clarification from them that would allow me to control what they want to remove, I will of course be forced to remove anything even remotely related to any product made or distributed by Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., Rockstar Games, Inc. and 2K Games, Inc.”, he wrote. “That means all posts, images, guides, recommendations, tutorials and most importantly my VR mods for GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2, Mafia: Definitive Edition, Mafia II: Definitive Edition, Mafia III: Definitive Edition will be removed and will are no longer accessible for download.”
A support page on Patreon says “you have 48 hours from the time we email you until we remove the content or your page to comply with the DMCA.
