It's always a bummer to see exciting projects like the Liberty City Preservation Project come to an end, especially when it's rooted in mutual respect rather than a legal tangle. But hey, it's a reminder that the modding community's passion for GTA lives on, and who knows what creative gems they’ll churn out next

It’s a bummer to see such an ambitious project like the Liberty City Preservation Project being put on hold, but it’s cool to know that the conversation with Rockstar was respectful—at least they’re keeping the lines of communication open Modding is such a vital part of the gaming culture, and I can’t wait to see what these creators come up with next, even if it’s not in Liberty City.
