I honestly expected Rockstar to do nothing at all about the situation. I’m genuinely surprised they’d implement his findings and give him some money as well.
At this point, I wouldn't have been surprised if a video game company sued someone for DMCA violations for something like this. Rockstar and Take-Two in particular are no strangers to handing out DMCA take downs, cease and desist letters, or lawsuits. I'm glad they're being cool about this.
