A developer known online as Mojso announced plans to adapt Grand Theft Auto 5 and its multiplayer component for an unofficial Nintendo Switch version, then publicly challenged Rockstar Games to act.

The developer shared a message directed at Rockstar that read, “Try me Rockstar, [I don't give a f**k.]” Three days after Rockstar released updated modding policies that prohibit unauthorized ports, the Discord community supporting the project was removed for alleged copyright violations.

Despite warnings from observers about the legal aggressiveness of Rockstar’s parent company, Take-Two Interactive, Mojso indicated confidence that no enforcement would occur, stating that copyright infringement “is anything but enforced in Serbia.”

Within a week, Mojso confirmed receipt of a cease and desist letter from Take-Two and expressed gratitude for what they described as the company’s “mercy.” In a subsequent post, they announced the termination of the project, citing concerns over potential legal consequences.

The message also included an unrelated announcement about the shutdown of a separate initiative, Paralympics Productions, scheduled for October 3. Mojso acknowledged missing expectations and thanked supporters before concluding the project’s end.

When questioned about the earlier taunt, Mojso responded that they had not anticipated a strong response, asking, “What the f**k do you want me to do? Fight with them in court? I wasn't expecting them to hit back hard.”

The development relied on leaked source code from Grand Theft Auto 5, which has contributed to broader leaks and technical complications. The situation highlights the risks faced by individuals who modify or distribute unauthorized versions of proprietary software owned by major entertainment corporations.
