Website selling GTA Online cheats shuts down after ‘talks with Take-Two’

LunaCheats, a website that sells GTA Online cheats, has said it has immediately stopped distributing and maintaining its cheats. The makers’ site states that this was done after discussions with publisher Take-Two Interactive.

According to the announcement on the LunaCheats website, the creators will donate their earnings to a charity selected by Take-Two. It can be concluded from the wording that the makers have reached a settlement with the publisher. Presumably, Take-Two threatened legal action.

LunaCheats gave players access to a menu for a fee that gave them access to a kind of god mode in the PC version of GTA Online, in which all kinds of parameters can be adjusted. Cheaters are therefore inviolable and can harm other players by blowing them up or launching their vehicles. Also, the cheats allow players to crash servers by spawning hundreds of cars.

The PC version of GTA Online has been plagued by cheaters for years. According to Eurogamer, that problem has increased after the game was temporarily available for free on the Epic Games Store in May 2020.
