Modder Luke Ross has removed his popular Cyberpunk 2077 VR mod after receiving a DMCA takedown notice from CD Projekt Red. Ross confirmed the action followed a legal exchange with the Polish developer, who cited intellectual property concerns over the unauthorized conversion.

The decision mirrors a similar takedown by Take-Two Interactive against a Grand Theft Auto VR mod. Ross expressed frustration, arguing the mod increased game sales without costing CD Projekt, while the company offered no official VR port. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between game publishers and the modding community over derivative works.

Ross noted he spent years maintaining the mod through CD Projekt's frequent updates, only to face action after being reported. He is now releasing a new conversion for Baldur's Gate 3. The situation underscores the legal gray area for modders who enhance games the developers themselves won't.
