Recently, Rockstar through its Rockstar Support account on Twitter, tweeted that they have updated their policy mods to cover roleplay servers (RP).
According to the tweet, Take Two, the partner company of Rockstar in the game’s production wants to take action on servers who are missing trademarks or IP owned Rockstar Games. According to sources, this has been due to some people in the community using them for misleading Grand Theft Auto players or some other reasons of similar sorts.
This is caused by an increase in NFT/ crypto or lootbox related GTA RP items servers have been up for sale including by famous rapper Lil Durk.
The webpage also prohibits the selling of “loot boxes” in exchange for real world money as well as its in-game equivalent such as GTA money. In-game currency can also not be sold virtually now, plus revenue via corporate sponsorships or in game integrations or the use of cryptocurrencies cannot be generated. This is a concrete stance against NFTs or any form of crypto by Rockstar which plenty of people will be pleased to see.

Lil Durk’s GTA RP server
In October, the rapper’s Grand Theft Auto RP server was offering a “Trenches Pass” that includes a Grand Theft Auto Online Loot Box, access to the RP server and several other apparent perks.
According to various well known rap social media accounts, Lil Durk‘s Grand Theft Auto RP server has been requested to be taken offline by Rockstar and Take Two. They are complying with the request.
Some people see this as a negative but Rockstar clearly stated that they have always believed in reasonable fan creativity and wants creators to showcase their passion for their games. Hence, we have the proof that Rockstar is openly acknowledging that GTA RP servers are not taking them down as long as they do not break their policy rules as mentioned above.
“The rich array of community created experiences within GTA will continue to thrive in safe and friendly way for many years to come,” Rockstar added by announcing about the current situation.
