GTA Modders to Court: Our Game Fixes & Enhancements Are Fair Use, Not Piracy
They looked at the reverse engineered source code and used it to write the code for RE3 and reVC, code which technically infringes on Rockstar's copyright. If they had used clean room design like OpenRW they wouldn't have ended up with a lawsuit in the first place.

The entire source code of GTA Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has been leaked, was included in the Switch game files
At least we still got OpenRW which can't be taken down as it doesn't use any original code.

Rockstar should be ashamed of the GTA Trilogy Remaster
support projects like openrw instead. 2k nuked a ton of the other ones that used decompiled ps2 code, but they can't touch OpenRW because it's a rewrite from scratch.

GTA III & GTA VC android
Do yo happen to have the instructions about the commits required to build/compile the source code? Those info seems to be lost, if someone wants to improve or apply mods is left clueless today. It's not the case to go asking Rinne obviously. Any help in merit is apreciated.
