Take-Two Interactive has launched a lawsuit against PlayerAuctions, a platform that facilitates the buying and selling of unauthorized items in GTA Online. The company claims PlayerAuctions runs an unlawful operation, making millions of dollars by allowing transactions for modified player accounts, in-game currency, and assets obtained through cheating and hacking. While selling accounts isn't illegal, it breaches Take-Two’s and Rockstar Games' terms of service. The legal action seeks to address both terms of service violations and copyright infringement related to the usage of GTA's branding in these transactions.
"While GTA lets players experience a fictional underworld of lawless enterprise, the entities behind PlayerAuctions own and operate a real one… a vast online marketplace containing thousands of listings for unauthorized, infringing GTA V content."
"Take-Two Interactive alleges that PlayerAuctions makes millions in revenue each year off of transactions on its marketplace… sellers use hacking software and other exploits to create digital goods to provide illegal 'services' to GTA Online players."
