Rockstar Shuts Down Viral Free GTA 5 Browser Port
Original: grand theft auto v
Rockstar Games has taken down a free browser-based port of Grand Theft Auto V after it went viral, letting people stream the full game without owning or installing it. The project spread quickly online for making GTA 5 playable in a web browser, but the shutdown highlights Rockstar's firm enforcement of its intellectual property, with fans debating whether the takedown was justified.
Why now: The viral browser port made GTA 5 freely playable, prompting Rockstar's copyright takedown and widespread fan discussion.
