TelegramWhat Zelnick said
GamesRadar reports that Zelnick answered a question about players modding or jailbreaking consoles to get around Rockstar’s paid services. He said Take-Two bought FiveM because it supports some fans who want to create with its IP, that it has allowed modding in other games, and that the FiveM business is profitable.
He added that the company’s mission is to make the best entertainment on Earth and that, if it does that right, monetization takes care of itself in this fiscal year and later ones. GTA 6 launches in nine days, on 19 Nov 2026.
